Patagonia says:
The warm and breathable R1® Ultralight Hoody is a technical fleece and a big-wall essential for pro athletes and dedicated climbers alike. It’s almost as light as your favorite baselayer, with a smooth, abrasion-resistant face fabric you won’t have to worry about shredding on the sharp end. This fleece is part of the Free Wall Kit. Designed to meet the demands of our ambassadors’ evolving tactics for modern rock climbing objectives, the Free Wall Kit is made for sustained, difficult multipitch routes where even the smallest rest recovers just enough energy for the send. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
