Patagonia R4 Jacket - Men's
The Patagonia R4 Windbloc Jacket is a low profile fleece for fast forward pursuits. The R4 will blocks drizzle and wind while maintaining a comfortable temperature range throughout changing conditions; you'll have no problem layering over it if a storm moves in. Patagonia makes the R4 with seamless shoulders so a pack sits more comfortably. Handwarmer pockets are placed out of the way of harness or waist belt for more relaxed climbing and backpacking.

This jacket is amazing.
I wear it every day both in the house and outside. Ridiculously comfortable! I am 6'2 with a long torso and this jacket (size large) fits me like a warm glove. It stretches with movement too. What is unreal is that I have been wearing this jacket (with properly insulated winter pants, boots and hat) in down to -15F temps with no shell and only two light layers below. I have worn only a tee shirt underneath in 25F weather. It’s a great jacket. It keeps the warm in and the cold wind out very effectively with minimal weight. Then I walk in the house take my winter stuff off and put the jacket back on... It doesn’t over heat... I was skeptical of paying the high price for what seemed like just a windproof fleece jacket but I can honestly tell you that it’s worth every penny. It is the most versatile jacket I have ever owned, and damn good looking too.
Patagonia r4 jacket
Ordered a patagonia R4 jacket through backcountry.com when they were having a sale a few weeks ago. Got a great deal on a great coat. The fleece is phenomenal. Had a mishap and took care of problem with a very helpful customer service person. Would definitely recommend this site. Easy to use, easy to contact, quick shipment. Thanks!
Great Jacket.
I'm actually wearing it as I type this from my office where our HVAC system only believes in 30 degrees and 90 degrees. This is an extremely well made coat with all the details thought of. Great cuffs, pockets, zippers, collar, chin protector, drawstring with a cord that doesnt hang out, etc... The colors are a bit... hmmm, distinct. The jackets do run very close to size for performance reasons so it's a bit snug sometimes for casual use, depending on your clothing.
R4 The ultimate in comfort
This jacket is amazing, When it's cold out, I feel like I am wearing a 700 WT down jacket, fits like it was custom made for my body. I have an R2 & love it, but this R4 blows it away. The chest pocket is a real plus too.
ORDER A SIZE LARGER
Great jacket. Warning: if you are usually a large, better order extra large. The sizes run small. Even the extra large was a little tight on the shoulders, and I’m not a fat guy.

Training Tips
For runners looking to get the maximum benefit from hill training, as you sprint to the top of the hill have your arms pumping faster and faster. Once you get to the top, continue on increasing your speed as much as possible.
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
