Great review, the R1 tech is one of the most important pieces in my layering system.

I'm a size ten, so should I size down? Are they suitable for running?

It means it fits people with an athletic physique instead of fat people who wear Patagonia on their yearly ski trips. Finally!

How does this compare to the previous R1 Daily Jacket? I was so disappointed when they discontinued it. Thanks.

Two weeks in and I cannot take them off. I'm a runner and these are great for my recovery. Super stable for me. I'm a 9.5 in every shoe and the 10 fits me great.

Hi! Thanks for the great review, I've been using Katana laces (mostly indoors, 1.5 sizes less than my street shoes) and now getting into going out doors, I've got recommended these on the store and bought them (2 full sizes less). They kinda hurt, especially upper part of my big toe, will it get better?

I really wanted to love the jacket but the material is so loud that with the hoody on I can't hear anything through the noise. My Granite Crest jacket is silent compared to this one.

Did you try the smaller toe bail on the scarpa phantoms? Did it fit better?

What size did you get ? Same size as the clogs?

Very good review! Do you consider them the successor of the Simul Alpine? I am looking for something to replace those

I recently bought a fitz roy I liked the colours of the womans one so I sized up from mens L to womans xl and it's a great fit and outstanding quality I also got it half price £400 down to £200 absolute bargain

The 2024 model now has an interior drop pocket and a cinch hem! I used it in the Canadian Rockies and it works great. Thanks for your candid reviews.

they look good in the moss color. Are they good everyday shoes i can also wear to the office? Would be nice to have an approach shoe when you go right to the crag after work

Great advice. I’m size 11.5…. The size 12 fits perfectly. The size 11 was way too small

congrats on the 1k+ subs! W vid! -Suz, Mikes oldest kid lol

I just got my big pad and it’s great, I only have one problem with it and it’s the backpack system. The carrying is great when you have it all set up but it takes 5 minutes to set up and remove, also the straps don’t cinch as tight as I would like as the hardware is just a bit too big. The foam is relatively hard which I like but others might not. The customizability is top notch, easily the best part of organic pads. Build quality is easily the best in the industry.

Looking to get these pants but worried about overheating a bit. Did you notice they got too hot during approaches at certain temps? Do they sit on the colder side or the warmer side? Thanks

Saw this at Patagonia store, was a light jacket and it was warm. I have the R1 Air Hoody, R1 Techface hoody this just seems to combine both into 1 jacket

Terribly disappointed in this new version. The previous one was better in every way...

Hi! I'm considering buying this Katanas mainly for indoor bouldering. But I don’t have access to try them before buying since we don’t have climbing shoes in retail stores. My foot is greek and 25.5cm long. But I’ve heard that they tend to fit large. I’m not considering downsizing, I just want a proper fit. What’s your experience in sizing them? Thanks

I know this comment is really late, but what temperature range does this boot feel comfortable in? I’m looking for a boot for winter alpine and ice climbing in Europe where it stays around -15C / 5 F. Great review by the way 👍

Hello! Great video! I got one question, the katana lace will fit high mid volume, greek shape foot? Thanks! And agine really great review video!

What’s the point of this review,,open the bag

Do you think that is possible to put a shell on it? Or it’s too bulky? I’m looking for a jacket for belaying but also a jacket that can be used in a more “wet” clima.

What's your "go to" run down the mountain in shoe? Wondering what is more comfortable for that purpose? Also I am going to be doing some climbing up some rock slides where I think I may want some flexibility. Think about a 45 degree rock slide.

Love these reviews. The long form from a climber perspective actually tells you about the shoe vs trying to sell you on the shoe.

Would you do a June summit on Rainier in these, or would you stick with the Summits?

Looks perfect for trekking/trail running

For what climbs do you use the solution comp compared to the katana men or women?

Everyone loves pockets - u twonk patagonia

Excellent review, what sunglasses do you use? all the best! Pablo from Patagonia Argentina!

Hey Jill! Thanks for the review. I noticed you mentioned the heel was a little more volume than your heel could fill; would you mind describing where in the heel you feel dead space? I currently am using the Drago LV’s and while my toe and back of my heel lock in nicely whenever I unweight my heels and shift weight onto my toes they lift a little bit from the sole, creating some dead space between the underside of my heel and the sole. Was wondering if you experienced something similar with the boosters? Thanks!

Terrific review, thanks!

can someone explain what this R1 thermal fabric even is???

What is the difference between the katana lace and the Velcro katana?

Very underrated jacket. Versatile as a cool weather stand alone that will last forever with that techface. Makes a great midlayer that breathes well that slides easily against whatever you put over it without worry about pilling like a regular R1 or other fleece.

Hello, thanks for your review 👍 This jacket is filled by 800 down but how much down -in gramms- does it contains ?? Steve

32 is the size of the pants you wear... But how tall are you?

Still waiting for you to open the bag 😐

just traded-in my 7 year old fitz roy for a new one w. patagonia. cannot wait for it to arrive!

What size are you wearing?

How packable is it? Thanks

nice review, thanks, but it would have been really useful to see inside the bag too like what it offers in terms of pockets and compartments ☺

Have you thought about cutting out the arm and hood gaskets? I’m thinking about picking one up (50% off right now!) and cutting them out since they were the only features I thought would stand in the way of making this an all around hard shell for mountain sports

How many times did you say the word like?

I am on my 3rd pair of these and they are great, even for multi-day 30-mile hikes across rocky ascents and descents in the UK Lakes. The grip across all terrain is superb and my feet never ache, ever, no matter how far I go. The biggest gripes are they are not waterproof in 2 inches of water and the laces are awful. I have to tie them every few hours and when the shoes are wet, every 20 minutes. When you are wearing waterproof socks and your shoes are soaked, the insoles slip and crumple at the front. You cannot walk until you take them out and walk without them. I have done over 700 miles in the last year in one pair and they have been otherwise faultless. They are the best shoes I have ever bought for all terrain. I forgot to add: they are brilliant running shoes as well on off-road, descents. Running down Grassmore scree in the Lakes with a 10kg back pack is a breeze with these shoes.

How well does it pack down?

Arcteryx gamma light or quick dry

The lens you used produced really sharp footage...mind sharing what lens and camera this video was shot on?
