Patagonia M's R2 TechFace Hoody

A durable, highly breathable softshell jacket with a helmet-compatible hood for alpine activities on cool days.

Patagonia's M's R2 TechFace hoodie is the go-to choice for mountaineers looking for a versatile layer for unpredictable, cold weather. This technical softshell jacket bridges the gap between cozy fleece and rugged weather protection. The breathable R2 TechFace double-layer fabric blocks cold wind and light precipitation while wicking moisture and excess heat away during strenuous ascents.

A bonus is the close-fitting, helmet-compatible hood, which offers additional protection without restricting your field of vision. The bags are also designed for outdoor activity: The zipped chest bag on the left and the two high-set hand-warmer pockets remain accessible even when wearing a climbing harness or with a backpack’s hip belt fastened; two open inside pockets provide additional storage space.

Slim, elastic cuffs fit snugly around the wrists and won’t snag on the rock, while the partially elastic hem helps retain body heat.

Whether you’re ice climbing, on alpine touring, or engaging in mountain sports—the R2 TechFace hoodie offers protection and plenty of freedom of movement.
