The Patagonia Men’s R2 TechFace® Hoody is a warm, breathable, weather-resistant midlayer built for colder, more demanding days on the river or trail. It combines the insulating power of Patagonia’s R2 fleece with a durable, abrasion-resistant TechFace exterior—giving you softshell-like protection with high-output breathability.
Designed for active use, the R2 TechFace Hoody offers excellent warmth for cool mornings and winter sessions, while the DWR finish sheds light rain and spray. The fitted hood adds extra protection from wind, and the stretch fabric with articulated patterning allows full freedom of movement for casting, hiking, or scrambling over rocks. Wear it as a tough outer layer in dry conditions or layer it under a shell when the weather turns. If you want one piece that bridges warmth, mobility, and light weather protection, this hoody is a workhorse.
