Patagonia Men’s R1 Short John

Warm water is about freedom, mobility and enough protection to avoid extremes. As in, getting chilled or overheating. Patagonia’s wise product guides pointed Active Junky to this model designed for years of on-water movement. Inside, the brand’s 100% recycled polyester jersey lining complements a durable exterior face fabric by accelerating dry time. At a highly packable 19.2oz, the 1.5mm neoprene Short John ranges beyond 65-75 degree waters when combined with R2 socks and gloves (and the Terre Planing Hoody) for intermediate-level SUP outings. Paired with the open-arm design, flatlock seams make extended distances possible. Zipper closure is secure with a generous pull to seal the deal on this reasonably priced essential.
