This budget vest is half the price of our other picks, but it’s nearly as warm and still well constructed.

Switchback Travel

REI Co-op’s in-house brand of outdoor clothing consistently churns out performance pieces at prices that are substantially lower than most big brands. The 650 Down Vest 2.0 is no exception, offering a legitimately warm layering piece for $80—less than half the cost of the Patagonia Down Sweater above. This vest isn’t teched-out and doesn’t have the high-end look and feel of the premium alternatives on this list, but it’s a fantastic value overall.

What do you compromise by going with the REI Co-op 650 2.0 Down Vest? It uses lower quality 650-fill-power down compared to the Down Sweater’s 800-fill-power, which means less warmth for the weight, but this isn’t hugely important unless you’re counting ounces or heading into the backcountry. In addition, it has square-shaped baffles and a boxier, roomier fit than the Patagonia, which results in a slightly less polished look. The good news is that the REI holds its own in terms of sustainability, with RDS-certified down (for humane treatment of birds) and recycled, bluesign (read: ethically sourced) materials. For the price, you’d be hard pressed to find a better vest.See the Men's REI 650 Down Vest 2.0  See the Women's REI 650 Down Vest 2.0

 For me, the zipper works really well, it's nice and sturdy and large. It has a zipper garage at the top. Switchback travel gave the 650 it's best cheap down jacket award. So, who is this jacket going to be great, for it's going to be great for people who are going to use like me as a mid layer, you're not trying to use it as your outer layer you're not trying to put a bunch of layers underneath it That lack of elastic band or draw cord at the bottom and then the loose-fitting elastic at the cuffs makes this one difficult if the wind picks up or something it's just going to kind of

You know blow right up under here and in here and you're, just you're going to be competing with that a little bit. Of course, the more layers you put underneath that you kind of fill that void a little bit, but it's just not ideal

 See me then III prefer not to resort to those extremes of having that kind of spacesuit. Looking jacket, so that's one nice thing about this kind of satin finish on the shell now REI doesn't say what the weight of the nylon for the shell is. They measure that in denier, that's basically a thickness of the nylon, and I guess what I would say is to me. It looks like it's

 I would compare it a little bit to the rain jacket that I reviewed and I'll put that review. I'Ll link to it right here it that was the Marmot precip rain jacket, where the fits just a little bit box here, you're, not gon na win anything awards for style or anything with this jacket, but it certainly gets the job done technically, there's not a ton Of room for my neck, not a ton of room around the neck, once the down fills up. Of course, when I started to pack that in I'm packing that down squishing that down, so you have to give it a little bit of time to back up. But when it does, it mostly fills all the gaps

REI Co-Op 650 Down Mens Jacket Review

 Here we have this really cool, like mountain map pattern sort of thing. This only is on the rustic gold colorway, which we have we've been getting a lot of. Compliments on this really liked it. The interior here with this cool stylized inside only comes on the rustic gold

 It'S a nice down jacket and it is filled with actual down, not synthetic down so which is you know, great for warmth, to weight ratio and compressibility and the external layer is recycled nylon. So that's always a plus, and so let's just get into it. So on all the zippers here are YKK. We got this one going all the way down here and then we have two pockets here, all YKK

 So you see it's the pocket that has the zipper on both sides here. If you look this one only has just the one side, so that's how you can tell, and you just roll it inside of itself, and you got that cool mountain pattern showing which again, we've really been diggin. Now. One thing to note: it is the size of the pocket and just you got to make sure you don't catch your jacket in your zipper there

REI 650 Down Jacket 2.0 Review (2 Weeks of Use)

 I'M about 6 foot 170 pounds typically large in like a Patagonia or a Marmot or any of the other brands, but our guys stuff runs pretty big. So I'm a medium in this, let's see so jacket is made out of a recycled nylon. I believe hey get out of here and [ Music ] there was a recycled nylon is the fabric. The insulation is down 650 and it's 11 ounces

 So I wanted to do a quick review and show you guys how I'm liking it. So first things. First, the size medium fits pretty. Well, I'm usually a size large

 The REI 650 Down Vest, in particular, is quite affordable for what you’re getting. On sale, it’s a steal. Basic REI Vest, Lots of Pockets There are two large zippered hand pockets on the REI 650 Down Vest, which warm the hands and can hold a phone, the day’s snacks, or a headlamp. There are also two massive interior drop-in pockets

0 is all of those things, especially versatile. It has a more casual fit than some higher-end down vests, which we prefer for more daily use, as it allows you to layer with a fleece or long-sleeve. But its weight — 7.2 ounces — is low enough to make it an extra fluffy friend on any backpacking trip (even an ultralight one)

Patagonia's R1 series has been a longtime favorite of our testers. Emulated by many, the grid fleece technology has become a staple in most people's active cold-weather layering system. Somehow, Patagonia has created an even better version with the release of the R1 Air. Built from a proprietary "hollow core" fabric produced from 100% recycled polyester, this piece brings a new level of comfort to performance fleece wear. The material looks and feels more cozy than technical, but don't let that fool you &mdash; this fleece means business. Whether heading to the crag or the coffee shop, this fleece was the one our testers would always grab first. The low weight combined with the amount of warmth it provides make it ideal for high-intensity activities like climbing and hiking in the cold. The highly breathable "zig-zagged" pattern helps shed moisture and keeps you from ending up a sweaty and shivering mess. 
The crew neck version of this fleece is equipped with only one chest pocket, so if you're using it as a standalone piece, your storage options are limited. This lack of bulk made it great for layering but less versatile. While this fleece is more wind-resistant than the original R1, it is still a lightweight fleece that will cut right through a strong gust. All in all, this fleece is a highly comfortable and warm layer that is best suited for anyone looking to upgrade their performance fleece wear. 

Patagonia’s R1 collection has long been a staple of their lineup, and the R1 Air more recently joined the team with a highly technical design. Using hollow-core yarns and zig-zag patterning, the 100-percent-recycled polyester fabric traps heat yet allows air to pass from the inside out, resulting in a breathable yet warm layer that’s impressively lightweight. And when you do start to sweat, the polyester effectively wicks moisture and dries out quickly. Patagonia rounds out the build with a functional 1/4-zip design to trap warmth or release excess heat, sleek off-shoulder seams, and a small zippered chest pocket. It all adds up to a wildly modern, high-performance baselayer and one of the warmest offerings here.

Technically considered a fleece, the R1 Air toes the line between our baselayer and midlayer categories. As a baselayer, it’s decidedly heavyweight, which means you’ll want to save it for particularly cold winter days. On the other hand, it provides less warmth than the 100-percent-wool Woolx Glacier Long Sleeve Crew below, although the focus on breathability boosts its appeal for high-output pursuits (and it’s around $30 cheaper to boot). Patagonia also offers its latest R1 Air in both a Crew and a Full-Zip Hoody version, the latter of which is best suited for midlayer use.See the Men's Patagonia R1 Air Zip-Neck  See the Women's Patagonia R1 Air Zip-Neck

Patagonia’s R series (short for “Regulator") is legendary in the world of fleeces, and their R1 Air Zip-Neck slots in as a purpose-built option for active use in frigid temperatures. Despite being considerably thicker and warmer than the options above, the R1 breathes very well thanks to the unique hollow-core yarns and zig-zag patterning—when worn on its own, you can actually feel air moving through. And when you do start to sweat, the recycled polyester fabric effectively wicks moisture and dries out quickly. We often steer clear of heavyweight designs due to their thick and bulky feel, but the R1 Air is now our go-to option for winter ski tours, which speaks volumes about its smart balance of warmth and breathability.

As we touched on above, the R1 Air is technically considered a fleece and toes the line between our baselayer and midlayer categories (we include the full-zip version in our midlayer round-up). In terms of best uses, the heavyweight design is decidedly overkill for mild conditions, making it far less versatile than most of the light- and midweight alternatives here. On the flip side, it’s one of the most specialized and capable picks for active use in frigid weather, whether you’re a backcountry skier, snowshoer, or runner. You’ll probably want another baselayer or two in your closet for warmer days, but it’s hard to beat the R1 Air’s mix of breathability and cozy warmth when you’re exerting in the cold.See the Patagonia R1 Air Zip-Neck

 At the same time, so to wrap things up, this obviously is a initial impressions review. I have had this a week and i haven't been using it on really hardcore backpacking or ski touring trips, and i doubt that anyone else has because patagonia had a supply shortage. So they were not able to produce these that much. So that's why they first now in late october, came into the stores

 That'S one explanation i would have, but it has this little bit of flux over here, so it is also possible to put this probably over some gloves and get a better and more snug fit, and that are already the features of the r1 air that i am Wearing now talking about a light weight, my size, sr1 air zipper over here is 268 grams light. That'S quite a decent light weight for a mid layer that you're going to wear not on your own, but likely underneath a windshield or a hard shell, or even some kind of thicker insulation jacket, speaking about wearing something else with the r1 air. I think, even in this kind of warm weather, so five degrees and sunny, this is for me too cool, at least, if i'm not doing something really fast. So if i would be cross country, skiing or ski touring or trail running, this probably would be fine

Hello and welcome my name is hendrik, and today i want to talk to you about the patagonia r1 air. It is a wonderful purple, fleece, mid layer that i'm wearing right now and it was probably the hottest piece of gear that was presented at the ispo 2020. In munich in this january, a quick disclosure before i kick things off, i bought the r1 air that i am wearing from my own money. I don't have any affiliation with patagonia, but there will be affiliate links to this sweater at online stores across the globe

 If you would wear something from cotton or merino wool. A little bit about the features of the r1 air you see over here there is one zippered pocket, it's pretty small one, maybe a cliff bar or something like that or your headphones or a couple of batteries fit in there, but definitely no normal sized. A map fits in there, the zipper over here on the crew neck that i bought is really nice to dump extra heat and with the high collar over here, you also keep your throat and neck worm. So if you forgot your buff, then that is not a problem, because this will keep you toasty over here at the hands

Patagonia R1 Air - THE lightest and warmest Midlayer ever?

 So this is the hand pocket just to give you an idea. The size of the hand pocket and the other side the drop pocket. You can fit your whole family's ham, sandwiches in there you could probably fit three or four ham sandwiches and then your lacroix or tall boys over here, whatever you need to fit mittens glove beanies. All the stuff, big drop, pockets and again tiny zipper right here and um

 The material itself is really really comfortable. I would say one of the most comfortable garments i've tested from them before and then the hood hood nice and tight scuba hood right there. So it doesn't get in the way when you're looking around very cozy. In fact, i had the hood on last night as i'm camping in our sleeping bag, so uh stretch cuffs as well, so you can, you know, bring them up a little bit if you want to or just have them nice and tight and low so there it Is the patagonia r1 air there's a whole line of r1 air products, pullovers quarter, zips, hooded non-hooded jacket and so forth men's and women's available we'll have links below where to purchase? This is sean sewell owner and director stoke foreign gimmick

 It is 100 recyclable fabrics in this zigzag pattern, reminiscent of the other air products. We'Ve reviewed like the merino air and that pattern is really great because it allows more breathability while still being comfortable and warm so. I'Ve been using here in the mountains here in colorado. We'Re on vail pass right now about ten thousand five hundred feet up and uh chasing the dogs around on the trails, and this has been a perfect piece of uh insulation for mild temperatures

 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 pattern, reminiscent of the other air products. We'Ve reviewed like the merino air and that pattern is really great because it allows more breathability while still being comfortable and warm so

Patagonia R1 Air Hoody - Ultra Breathable and Comfortable

 Presumably it aids insulation when used as a midlayer as those zig-zag ravines will trap a whole load of warm air. Whether it's the zig-zagging or not, we can confirm this is a toasty midlayer (and surprisingly soft and comforting!!)         

 Way warmer than it has any right to be given its lightweight minimalism. And particularly warmer than you'd expect given it is riven with 'gaps' in the insulation..

 Being Patagonia, it is also made from 100% recycled polyester, naturally. First impressions were that this thing is warm. Way warmer than it has any right to be given its lightweight minimalism. And particularly warmer than you'd expect given it is riven with 'gaps' in the insulation

 And finally, price. The price of fleece midlayers has skyrocketed across the board in recent years, and whilst we're still getting used to that, the price of the R1 Air Hoody is very reasonable in comparison with the rest of the field. One last thing - great to see that lightweight and minimalist doesn't' have to mean 'no pockets' - the R1 Air Hoody has a chest pocket and two handwarmers - the latter being essential to a cosy and versatile midlayer.

The new R1 Air range from Patagonia is aimed squarely at the highly technical, high-output market and will have very versatile applications for the cold weather athlete. We reviewed the R1 Air Full Zip Hoody to test its claims of being lightweight, fast drying, breathable and warm. Being Patagonia, it is also made from 100% recycled polyester, naturally. First impressions were that this thing is warm

 So, whether you're backcountry ski touring, your trail running and climbing, when you're, when you're, really heating up those higher exertion moments, this is gon na, be an amazing. It dries really fast super breathable and, as you layer it up over a tech tee and underneath shell, it's really going to hold a lot of heat more and keep you feeling really good.
