I returned this product before using it

This would have been my third R1 Air Fleece purchased. I returned it because, unlike my first two, the Torrey Pine color fit much tighter in the shoulders. The sleeves were shorter and it measured smaller as well when I held it up to my others. I’m so disappointed as the color, material, and functionality of this fleece has been outstanding in the two I already own.

I've put it through the wringer

I bought this R1 Air in size medium. Yes, it runs just slightly narrower than some other Patagonia tops, but I still comfortably have room for a thin long underwear top under it. I don’t feel it’s constricting, because of the way it is cut, there is room under the arm pits. The fabric is light and soft. I love how the zipper comes half way down the front instead of just a quarter way. Makes it easier to get on and off. I also love how the sleeves are the perfect length and this fleece top is long enough too. Both features are So Very important when moving, stretching, working outdoors. Thank you Patagonia for designing this top perfectly! I think it’s true to size for a slim fit top. If you like your tops roomy then go up a size.

Slim

Definitely fits much slimmer than other Patagonia pieces I own. While it is meant to be snug, there is little stretch in the material so feels constricting. Fabric technology however is fantastic. Wicks sweat/heat off the body keeping you dry and your temp regulated. Now I just need to find the right size! Female 5'7" 145lb Normally medium in all Patagonia, but need to size up.
