Patagonia M's R2 TechFace Jkt

A durable, breathable softshell jacket for changeable alpine conditions while climbing and engaging in mountain sports.

The M's R2 TechFace Jacket from Patagonia is a versatile softshell jacket for cold days in the mountains. It combines protection against the cold with high breathability, while also being abrasion-resistant and weatherproof.

The R2 TechFace double-layer fabric blocks cold winds and light precipitation, while excess heat quickly escapes during strenuous ascents. A durable water-repellent impregnation prepares the jacket for sudden changes in alpine weather.

The features are consistently tailored for outdoor activity: The left chest pocket and the two high-set handwarmer pockets remain accessible even when wearing a climbing harness or with a backpack’s hip belt fastened, and two open inside pockets provide additional storage space. The slim, close-fitting cuffs provide a clean finish and don’t interfere with gripping, while a partially elastic hem traps heat and allows for freedom of movement.

The R2 TechFace Jkt thus combines warmth, breathability, and rugged versatility.
