i love my new R3! i've worn it every day since i received it maybe 2 weeks ago. i have the R1 and love it too, but it didn't offer as much warmth as i needed for winter months around the house and under my down jacket when i went out. i got the R3 for its extra weight and warmth and it's perfect.

re: the reversible sides: i like the look of the contrast patagonia pocket side (and the smoother finish of the fleece on that side, which also allows the fuzzier cozier fleece *other side to be touching your skin), but that side doesnt have hand pockets, which i always want. i guess it makes sense to give you a pocket option on either reversible side, but i kinda wish i could have the chest pocket/smoother fleece look WITH the functionality of hand pockets on the SAME side for coziness. like i'd prefer it to be NOT reversible so i could have all that on one side.

for fit, i'm petite with slim waist and hips. the XS jacket kind of flares out there and allows for wider hips. i wish it was a straighter, more slender fit there, but it's acceptable for layering, and it's too cozy for me to hold that against it. the hood looks weird and unflattering when on; it fits weird on my head, so i have to make sure to wear a separate jacket hood over it so it looks normal if i wear it up. it is warm though.

i love the lupine color too--neutral gray with a kick of lavender to make it a beautiful deep fun color while still matching with everything!
