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.
Wow, nice jacket. I want one too!
Patagonia rocks the outerwear world. Their zippers never need to be replaced and the sleeve cuffs never fray. looks like they have another even warmer winner.
would love to get it
Would like to win this jacket, probably very good for outdoor.
Why did patagonia move their PFD manufacturing to Mexico?
Very nice jacket.
Looks nice!I’m in!
I’m freezing and need this.
I want it. I don’t have $179.
That’s a nice looking jacket, I’d love to win it.
Love Patagonia stuff and I would make the R3 look good for promotional purposes.

This is mine !

Polartec – Has no equal
Like to see how much better this is compared to an old polartec 200 layer!
It looks like just what I need for walking my dog. I’d love to be one of the first to wear it….I’m sure my fellow dog-walkers would be lined up to buy one when it is available to the public Thanks for the opportunity.
My 17 year old man’s Patagonia is red, originally owned by a blind man who thought he’d bought blue. His mistake was my gain. I’m a female that could certainly live with a man’s mango jacket this time. Thanks for the contest.
The R3 is awesome and I wanna win it
It looks very warm! but hopefully it will come in different colors (I love the yellow, but I do know that a lot of people prefer a more neutral color)
