What is the R1 Air Crew?
It's a lightweight, versatile crew neck jumper built with highly breathable fleece material for optimum comfort. The R1 Air Crew has a versatile and casual design that you can wear anywhere for any activity, whether hill walking, camping, heading to work, or relaxing at home.
What is it made of?
This crewneck comprises 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns, which provides exceptional breathability.
The zigzag-knit pattern of the material increases airflow while minimising bulk for extra packability. It has fast-drying, moisture-wicking properties for active hill days, helping regulate temperature and keep you comfortable all day. Being 100% recycled also helps lessen this fleece's environmental impact, making it the ideal piece for eco-conscious adventurers.
This product is also made in a Fair Trade Factory™, giving Patagonia more control of the operations in the factories they choose to work with. Patagonia proudly offers more Fair Trade styles than any other apparel brand in the current market. But how does it work? Patagonia pays a premium for every item made in one of these factories, and this money goes directly to the factory workers. A democratically elected committee of Fair Trade workers will decide how this extra money gets spent in each Fair Trade factory. The program also promotes worker health and safety and social and environmental compliance while encouraging healthier dialogue between workers and management.
What are the features?
This crewneck fleece has long sleeves and a regular fit, allowing you to comfortably wear a t-shirt underneath. It features off-shoulder seams that will comfortably sit underneath a backpack, reducing rubbing and chafing from bulky stitch lines.
The zipped left-chest pocket works perfectly for holding mobile phones or a wallet.
Lastly, quick-drying woven binding at the back hem and cuffs helps dial in the fit while improving durability, allowing high-wear areas to last longer.
