I find myself using the r1 chest pocket + thumb loops for warmth than the melly kangaroo pocket. R1 air hasn’t gotten use in different scenarios but the zipper is quite useful for temp control.įeatures for warm/breathability don’t necessarily correspond to weight. Can’t really raise the sleeves up that much :(Īlthough the wind cuts right through all of them, I find myself getting sweatier and staying sweaty longer in the melly more when active. R1 air fabric is kinda scratchy since it’s thicker and zig zagged. The spandex panels can constrict a bit but loosens up over time. R1 comfortable textured inside and “slicker” outside fabric. Can raise sleeves over forearms up to the elbows. Melly is basically pajamas disguised as a technical garment. Most useful for technical stuff like wearing a helmet or adding a smidge of warmth but also compresses the forehead/hair/ears a bit after a few hours.

I've comfortably taken those three items to upper 40s with a breeze while moving. R1 - used for everything: day hikes, backpacking, climbing, skiing, cycling, layering over/under whatever else. Less great for active use and good passive warmth if there's no wind. Gets really hot when active so the layer usually comes off unless there’s a stiff breeze.

The hem and cuffs are made from stretchy and quick-drying polyester that trap warm air yet push up easily to dump heat quickly. The cut is athletic, fitting comfortably under outer layers and a harness, and the hood fits under a helmet without any bulk.
