Last year I was gifted a Patagucci R2 hoodie (my requested selection).
For alpine skiing I found great over a base layer, a wool sweater and under a WPB parka shell. The hood zips up to my nose and I love that coverage for cold, windy chair lift rides. That high coverage is good as well with the hood down but covering the back of my neck and, all zipped up, covering the rest of my neck.
Also it’s great for cool to cold days when I don’t need a wind shell. It is about as wind resistant as a “soft-shell” and decent in cold, misty days for water repellence. I dislike the bulky feel of soft shell jackets so the R2 is just what I want for many situations in winter and shoulder seasons.
Anyone else like this hoody?
