Why We Love This Deal
Now is one of the best times of the year to get Patagonia's cold-weather gear on sale. The label itself and retailers like REI are offering up to half off on a ton of fleece jackets, among countless other styles, that you can easily wear into spring. One of them is the R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody, which is now nearly $100 off the asking price.
Normally priced at $189, the Patagonia R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody is down to $94 over at REI. Two of the nine colorways are going for this price, but the deep blue jacket seen here has the most sizes left. Since the red hoodie is looking a bit low in stock at REI, you can also head over to Patagonia to grab it for $113 (40% off) if you prefer that colorway.

If you want to get active, the hood is designed to layer underneath helmets and other hoods, and the off-shoulder seams are made to sit under pack straps.

Lightweight hoodie/jacket hybrids like this from premium brands regularly retail for around $200, like the Arc’teryx Kyanite Hoody, for example. With this sale, you’re getting the same durability and versatility for half the price.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Patagonia’s quality is untouchable, and this hoodie is no exception. “This is probably my favorite piece of Patagonia gear.” This reviewer also praised the hoodie's versatility, writing that it works just as well for snowboarding and hiking as for hanging out around the house. They added that it’s their comfy “do-everything layer” and “excels at keeping you warm enough but not too warm.”
Another reviewer broke down what the “Air” in the name means. It’s made with a hollow-core fleece that keeps you warm while venting heat, so you stay at a consistent temp, making it “great for jogs or walks where you may start to sweat but don't wanna shiver when you stop.”
Easily layered and a true Swiss Army knife, the Patagonia R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody is really a steal at this sub-$100 price tag. Sizes are going quickly, which means now is likely your chance to get one before they’re all gone.
