To be clear, even though it looks like a jacket, this is not a jacket but fleece. You can wear it as a last layer when it is slightly cold or under a jacket when it really gets cold. Like previously stated, it is a lightweight, stretchy, durable, even warm enough versatile piece that can be used in variety of sports—hiking, running, climbing, biking, skiing, etc.
I am 195 cm and 110 kg and went with XXL since previous R1 models in XL were to tight for me.
The cut of the jacket is bad; its just way to long and also way to wide on the torso; its as if people who wear XXL have to have a large abdomen. Its not designed for people with athletic build but instead has a wide and loose fit, which I personally do not prefer.

This piece of garment is a must for every outdoor enthusiast - lighweight, stretchy, durable, performs well as top layer on warmer days(shoulder season) or mid layer in winter. Incredibly versatile piece that can be used in variety of sports - hiking, running, climbing, biking, skiing etc.
Note - I am 177cm, 80kg with bulky forearms, wide in shoulders and chest but the fit was really comfy. I wear base layer and fleece under it with no restrictions but the jacket is long in torso at least for my built and height.
