In reply to Professor_Professorson:
I have the Eclipse hooded zip-t and have tried on the Pata R1 hoody. They are quite different, and very different in fit. The Eclipse is relatively tight/slim fitting and the R1 quite blousey around the waist. I am 6'7" wit ha 46" chest and 34" waist and take an XL in most things. The R1 is also a bit thicker, probably warmer than the Eclipse, I feel.
I bought one of the first-generation Borealis and they are quite good for cool windy rock days or trekking, but are not windproof enough for high mountain use, and especially not for winter. Being light, compactable and stretchy they are very good for long rock routes though.
I stay away from pertex-pile combined garments, though I've used them in the past and they are good sometimes. They are not versatile and I get too hot easily, plus I find the lining to be too binding and restrictive for actual climbing.
A simple, light fleece under a good hooded windshirt is much more comfortable and more versatile, as you can separate them. The windshirt should be chosen on fit, as brands vary greatly, how weather-resistant you need it to be, and whether you want the hood to go over a helmet (eg. Pata Houdini, Arcteryx Squamish) or under the helmet (Borealis and various other models).
