And now for something completely different…
Every season we get a handful of early sample garments from our customers so we can seed them to the media for testing and reviews. Right now we’ve got a bunch of the coolest new Fall ‘10 layers from Patagonia, The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Arc’teryx, Marmot, Canada Goose, Isis and more. As a reward to our loyal JustaZipper readers, we’re going to try doing an occasional product giveaway with some of these garments. To kick it off, we’re going to do a drawing for the new R3 Hi-Loft Jacket from Patagonia.
The R3 Hi-Loft features new Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric that’s 30% warmer than the previous R3. The open-mesh stitch of the fabric promotes compressibility, increases airflow and minimizes weight, while the new addition of Polartec® Power Stretch® on the side panels allows the jacket to move any way you do. MSRP is $179.
For a chance to win this R3 Hi-Loft, all you have to do is leave a relevant comment on this post (like, “The R3 is awesome and I wanna win it”). On Tuesday, we’ll pick a random winner from all the comments.
We think this is a pretty cool opportunity to get a free R3, a full six months before it’s available to buy.
Big disclaimer: The sample size is men’s medium and that’s all we’ve got. Same thing for the color. There are no exchanges or returns! Did we mention it’s mango!
Good luck.
Polartec – Patagonia and mango, a true mountain colour – what more could a man want in life, apart from a beer
They make great stuff
The R3 is awesome and I wanna win it
If only someday I could afford one patagonia fleece
After reading about the Patagonia R3 high loft searched in vain to see what it looks like in the local stores but never found one. Would love to win this one.
if this jacket can live up to the way i test my hunting gear it will be worth $179!
I gotta have an R3! I’m tired of being an ice pop! Pick me. Pick me. Pick me.
Give me that jacket. I am FREEZING!
I want to win this jacket so i can have people ask me what kind of jacket it is (because it is unique). I meet lots of people at events. This would be great advertisement to help your brand take off. It’s a win, win, for both sides.
No one needs an R3 more than ME!
Looks like a nice toasty jacket.
Thanks.
The R3 is awesome and I wanna win it, especially in Mango size M.
I want to be “seen” in a snow storm and stay warm too!
The R3 sounds awesome and I wanna try it!
I’d love to win this R3 Hi-Loft jacket!
R2D2 and C3PO say I need this R3
I work for the US NAVY outside training in every element. I would love to try this jacket and see if it is up to snuff.
Path_Rider will wear the R3 on the Alps… in case of
Polartec, when combined with wind stopping fabric, is the best combination I’ve tried for skiing. Warm, light weight, and not too bulky.
Keep up the good work!
I’d love to see myself in the mirror wearing only the warm R3. Please me!
It’s soooo cold outside. I need this jacket because I wanna go iutside!
Looks awesome..
The R3 is awesome and I wanna win it
I’m in the Navy and think this would be awesome standing watches.
I’m in need of a nice warm mid-layer! I would love to win this Polartec masterpiece and save some cash for my upcoming wedding!
Nice use of both fabrics!
The R3 looks like it would be a great jacket to stay warm in.
There’s no doubt that I would be 80% hotter and 39% smarter in this R3 jacket. For these reasons alone I am the logical, and most appealing choice.
How about a woman’s opinion of a man’s jacket! Medium will fit just fine and I love the color Mango! Besides it’s been really cold and windy here in WV!
Yeah justazipper!! More like just some free stuff!!!
Bought a PolarFleece 20 some years ago and still wear it some times today. Still warm as ever although its looks on the outside aren’t so great
The R3 will be a great addition to my collection of R1 and R2 layering.
I love everything polartec, so I would love this awsome jacket.
The R3 Just Another Great Jacket With A Great Company Name Behind IT. Polartec
POLARTEC makes the best fabric – bringing performance textiles to a new level of performance! I would love to be proud the proud owner of the R3 before it hits the market -
Gotta love the new R3! Thumb’s up to Polartec R&D !
The new R3 is the jacket for me.
Its in mango. Nice color if you get lost. I hope I win it.
R3 ser ut att vara jätteskön! Jag vill gärna vinna den..
I look forward to trying one on
If its made out off Polartec, its gotta be good! I would love to wear this out for Fall hunting!
I’m going trekking in the morning, I need some Polartec gear to stop me freezing my **** off.
Mango Haze man~!
That jacket is polarific~!
The R3 will one up the R2.

Polartec Thermal Pro and R3 Rock.
As a former mountaineering instructor for the Marine Corps, I’d love to shake out one of your new jackets !
