Vintage Patagonia R5 Regulator Fleece Jacket - Made in USA - Size XL - Excellent

Rare vintage Patagonia R5 Regulator fleece jacket, style 41600, from Fall 2002 (F02). Made in USA during Patagonia’s golden era of technical design. Constructed with ultra-lightweight, high-loft fleece engineered for maximum warmth-to-weight ratio. Ideal for alpine climbing, cold weather layering, or anyone who appreciates premium vintage technical outerwear. Features include a half zip front, and the iconic early Regulator Series build. Condition is excellent — clean, very minimal wear for its age, no stains, rips, or odors. Carefully stored in a smoke-free environment. I have had this piece 6 years and it’s been stored in PEVA bags with cedar balls. I’ve personally never worn it and based on its condition I doubt it’s been worn more than a dozen times ever.
