Great overall piece!

This piece of garment is a must for every outdoor enthusiast - lighweight, stretchy, durable, performs well as top layer on warmer days(shoulder season) or mid layer in winter. Incredibly versatile piece that can be used in variety of sports - hiking, running, climbing, biking, skiing etc.

Note - I am 177cm, 80kg with bulky forearms, wide in shoulders and chest but the fit was really comfy. I wear base layer and fleece under it with no restrictions but the jacket is long in torso at least for my built and height.

Good quality garment

To be clear, even though it looks like a jacket, this is not a jacket but fleece. You can wear it as a last layer when it is slightly cold or under a jacket when it really gets cold. Like previously stated, it is a lightweight, stretchy, durable, even warm enough versatile piece that can be used in variety of sports—hiking, running, climbing, biking, skiing, etc.
I am 195 cm and 110 kg and went with XXL since previous R1 models in XL were to tight for me.
The cut of the jacket is bad; its just way to long and also way to wide on the torso; its as if people who wear XXL have to have a large abdomen. Its not designed for people with athletic build but instead has a wide and loose fit, which I personally do not prefer.
