The Patagonia R1 Fleece Jacket for men is a lightweight, warm-for-the-weight, and quick-drying layering piece that is best suited as a mid-layer.

This wouldn’t be the best choice as a stand-alone outer layer during more intense weather, as it provides only limited wind and water resistance by design.
Patagonia’s R2 Fleece Jacket for men is a soft, warm mid layer for all cool weather activities.

The Houdini Power Houdi Fleece Jacket for men is a comfortable, versatile, breathable, and high-quality piece that can be used in a variety of climates, thanks to the easy layering abilities and properties that allow it to breathe during intense activities. The limited water and wind-resistance makes this not the best choice as an outer layer in any wet climates or windy conditions, and the slim fit may not suit those who are looking to layer underneath. For cold and dry weather, or for layering underneath a shell in bad weather, this is a great option.
