Our windproof and stretchy Lightweight R4 Jacket protects and warms with a Polartec® Windbloc® laminate sandwiched between a low-nap polyester microfleece face and a high/low grid polyester interior. Unlaminated R1® underarm panels (60% recycled polyester) enhance breathability and mobility, while a neck gasket seals out the elements. Seamless shoulders allow pack-wearing comfort. With three external pockets (the handwarmer pockets stay clear of your harness), two internal drop-in pockets and a drawcord hem. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Awesome jacket!
I wore this jacket every day during my Denali expedition in May 2008. It is lightweight, extremely comfortable and very warm. In addition, the jacket is well made and durable. This could very well be my favorite piece of clothing on the trip.

Lightweight & WARM!
I can't believe something this light can keep me that warm. Only been in the low 20's with this but with a t-shirt under. So this jacket will keep you warm. The only down side is the interior "pockets" should be a little deeper. But I highly recommend this jacket.
