Patagonia Men's Pelican R1 Air Zip Neck

The Patagonia Men's R1 Air Zip Neck in Pelican brings a warm off-white neutral tone to one of the most technically accomplished lightweight fleeces in the outdoor industry. Pelican is a nature-inspired cream colorway that reads as refined and considered rather than generic, making it an excellent choice for gift programs that want something distinctive without departing from professional palette norms.

Like all versions of the R1 Air, this piece is built from 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarn construction, which delivers a warmth-to-weight ratio that places it well above standard mid-layer fleeces in real-world performance. The quarter-zip collar provides immediate venting control, allowing the wearer to regulate temperature as effort levels rise or conditions shift without removing the layer entirely.

Flatlock seam construction eliminates the pressure points that cause chafe during aerobic activity, and the slim technical silhouette sits cleanly under a shell or hardshell without bunching at the collar or shoulders. This is a piece that functions as well on a summit approach as it does on a morning commute in a cold office building.

Fair Trade Certified sewing backs the manufacturing process, meaning workers in the factory received a wage above standard pay. That story matters for organizations whose branded merchandise needs to reflect their values as much as their logo.

SWAGHQ offers the Patagonia R1 Air Zip Neck in Pelican with expert embroidery, a minimum order of 6 pieces, and a 10-14 business day production window. The Pelican colorway is particularly well-suited to tech company gifting programs, university welcome packages, and environmental organizations seeking a color that aligns with a natural, outdoors-first aesthetic.
