The Patagonia Women’s R2 CrossStrata Jacket is a hybrid fleece midlayer designed for cold-weather mountain environments where warmth, breathability, and durability are all important. Positioned within Patagonia’s R-series lineup, the jacket combines the insulating performance of fleece with a more durable and weather-resistant outer surface, creating a versatile layer suited for alpine climbing, ski touring, mountaineering, and winter hiking. The jacket is constructed from R2 CrossStrata double-weave fabric, made primarily from recycled polyester with elastane for stretch. The outer face is smooth and abrasion-resistant, offering improved durability and wind resistance compared with traditional fleece garments. Inside, a zigzag grid fleece interior traps warmth while promoting airflow and moisture transfer during sustained activity. This construction helps regulate body temperature during high-output movement in cold conditions. The full-zip design allows adjustable ventilation during changing weather or increasing exertion. Stretch construction and articulated patterning support unrestricted movement during technical climbing or skiing. Offset shoulder seams reduce friction under backpack straps, improving comfort when carrying gear during long approaches. The jacket includes two zippered hand pockets positioned to remain accessible when wearing a climbing harness or backpack hip belt. With its balance of breathable insulation, stretch mobility, and increased durability, the R2 CrossStrata Jacket functions effectively as a midlayer under a shell or as a standalone outer layer in cool, dry mountain conditions.
