Patagonia R1 Hoody vs The North Face TKA Glacier 1/4 Zip - Women's

So we don't. We don't sweat out and it's a lot tougher. A more abrasion resistant, so it's not going to pill or tear on stuff it's easier to slide out...

Fleece garments are durable and long-lasting. They are machine washable without needing any special care and can be dried in a clothes dryer without shrinking. Being synthetic, fleece is moth-proof and doesn’t require special storage when it’s not in use. I like wool sweaters as much as the next guy, but they’re not nearly as durable and easy to care for as fleece and don’t last nearly as long

This is the patagonia r1 air. This is new super new coming out either late 2020 or very early 2021. It is 100 recyclable fabrics in this zigzag patter...

Very thin, see thru. Not warm unless you wear a shirt underneath it, which defeats the purpose of a lightweight fleece. Also, it is the length of a tunic on me (I am 5’5”), which I did not want. Overall not what I expect

So it doesn't get in the way and in fact, sometimes like to pull it up as warmer out and just rest. My sit right. There hasn't comfortable and the poc...

Love this! I have the stupid post-covid smell, and can smell myself if I sweat even the slightest bit. These Glacier 1/4 zips keep me warm enough, without overheating, and are machine washable, unlike the closet full of sweaters I won't be wearing this year!

If you go with a a 2lb framed pack and a double wall trekking pole tent 21-27oz you are probably going to be shooting for the 13lb base weight range. (with additional changes) If you want to get under 10lb you will definitely need to cut harder and at least go for a single wall tent.

cut so small you’ll definitely need to size up. They added a band at the bottom that fits too snugly so doesn’t give a nice smooth fit. I was so disappointed

Mostly used as mid layer in colder weather. For the weight, you might as well get a nano air or down jacket for more warmth. Add in the requirement for a wind shell and the weight offset is a no-brainer.

Fleeces are usually broken down by three weights — 100-weight is the thinnest of them all. The TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip is 100-weight fleece, which is enough to keep warm while maintaining good breathability. The Glacier has no elastic bands or drawstrings to rub you the wrong way –it’s like a teddy bear fur coat, but PETA won’t hate you for wearing it! The cuffs are plain with no elastic. Budget means very few extras

The feature set on the R1 TechFace Hoody is very similar to many stretch-woven soft shells on the market now. It has two large zippered hand warming pockets, one zippered chest pocket, a two-way adjustable hood with a laminated brim, an adjustable hem, and stretch cuffs.

What's more, it's water-resistant. After performing our water tests, we were impressed with its wicking ability. So impressed, we tried it in the shower; surprisingly, while the materials saturated, we stayed relatively dry. In wind, the multiple layers kept us warm and protected too
