Thanks for this video. There aren’t many on RU-vid about the new revised R2.

These are my go to pieces. R1 Air if it's mild but too cold for just a tee, R2 Techface if it's colder/windy/drizzle. Both together if it's the middle of winter (900m+ -5 degrees). Either one on, plus the other in your pack along with a waterproof hardshell, will 'generally' get you through all but the most extreme UK weather.

That amazing to hear! A great real world account of how good these products are!

Can you wear the R2 over the R1?

@bish_bosh Месяц назад

@@michelleingel3721 yes you can/I do in winter.

For day hikes 5-10c is the R2 overkill ?

@bish_bosh Месяц назад

@@_sk_videos not at all. It’s perfect for dry, blustery autumn/spring. The only time you’ll struggle is if you’re hiking up a mountain. It’s way more breathable than a soft/hardshell, but not 100% breathable like the r1 air (or most fleeces). The R2 Tech was perfect in the cheviots (4-500m) in June at 14 degrees but with a northerly ‘breeze’.

Hey! Thanks for the review! Keen to try the R1 Air!

@tauntonleisure 7 месяцев назад

Seems like a lovely layer! Especially for when your moving!

@xchih7639 6 месяцев назад

Good review! ❤ I love R2 more than R1

@tauntonleisure 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! So do I it seems like a fantastic and versatile layer!

What's your thoughts On the R2 Tech face or any other fleece mid/outer layer for hiking/fishing in 40-55 down by the river. I often hike down a couple miles to spots come in contact with some brush etc so want durability and probably get the sleeves wet occasionally. Once fishing a little stationary but still moving up and down a river worried the r1 lineup might not be warm enough, but the r2 maybe a little hot hiking in. Want something to wear alone over a base layer. with option to add a shell if weather needs. Cant get both atm lol

@tauntonleisure 6 месяцев назад

I think from the information you have provided the R2 is closer to what your after. Its considerable more durable than the R1 but will still have a relatively fast drying time. In terms of warmth the R2 will certainly be warmer than the R1 however you have the option to open the main zip to allow some airflow while your are moving to help regulate your temperature better.

i tried the r1 in a shop and was close to buying it, until i tried the breast pocket. its was to small for my phone,so no buy.

@MrsStevenBrown 4 месяца назад

It’s meant for your keys lol 😂, my phone fits easy in the main two side pockets no problem.

@Qrzychu92 Месяц назад

anyone can compare R2 TechFace and Nano Air?

@tauntonleisure Месяц назад

In my experience, the Nano Air isn't as warm or durable as the R2. However, the Nano Air offers a better weight-to-warmth ratio, making it an excellent option for those prioritizing lightweight gear without sacrificing too much warmth.

@Qrzychu92 Месяц назад

@@tauntonleisure I think I will go with Nano Air, everybody seems to love it for the reasons I find important :) mostly breathabillity and beeing great at managing heat. You are right that it seems quite fragile, but I also saw reviews from people having it for years and wearing it everyday, so it can't be bad cheers!

@tauntonleisure Месяц назад

@Qrzychu92 Sounds great! I would have thought you'll only notice the durability if you managed to snag it or drag it along rocky areas. Id imagine it'll be absolutely fine for general use!
