Customer Reviews Patagonia Better Sweater™ Jacket

I love this jacket. It is made from a great material. It is very warm and soft. I use it on daily basis and receive lots of complements. The sizing is great, I wear a medium with a 5'7" frame. It is highly recommended.

Fabulous color! Better than it looks online. Great fit. I am 5'10" and 175lbs and got the XL. It is roomy, but still shapely and the sleeves are long. Also tried the L, but it was just a bit too snug.

These are cute grownup fleece. I needed something more grown-up than my typical North Face fleeces and hoodies. This fits the bill perfectly. I am about 5'3" and 110 pounds, and generally wear an S in North Face-type brands. Patagonia seems cut larger, I tried the S and it was too wide, the XS fit snugly and is actually long enough for my long torso (most tops are way too short on me). This fleece seems well constructed, but the outside is sweater-knit polyester so it will probably wear quickly. The pocket on the upper arm is a cute touch. The price is too high to make this a great value, but I have found nothing else out there that fills this niche. I do wish they would make a version of this jacket with a wood exterior instead of polyester.

This is a terrific midweight layer and around-town jacket for cool, damp weather or chilly interiors. I am 5'7" 140# and the M fits perfectly, with good body and sleeve length. The fit is slim shaped, and the red color is warm and rich. It has wonderful, suede-like pocket linings. I thought I would love it, but it's even better than I thought it would be.

These have a feminine fit and run true to size. Nice long torso and sleeve length. Super soft and cozy fleece inside but sweater look on the outside which makes it a little more polished. I am thinking about getting another color.

I am 5'3" and 115 lbs and ordered a small...should've ordered an x-small. It fits but is a bit baggy in areas. I love the pocket placement and interior compartments. Looks great but doesn't keep you warm in anything less than a 50 degree day. Make sure to layer up!

I ordered the feather grey and magenta in size md. I'm 5'4", 123 lbs., unfortunately too small. Beautiful, well made sweater but they looked too hefty for my build. Tall/slender would be perfect. Have returned for another day. Note! When reviewing it helps if people tell their hgt., weight, and size ordered.

Color beautiful, several comments. Comfortable, warm and well made product. Saw a person wearing the oatmeal one which I originally intended to buy but fell in love with this color, oatmeal is great too.

A big improvement over the regular Patagonia fleece. It looks a lot nicer and is a little thicker since it has the sweater on the outside and the fleece on the inside. Sizing is the same as other Patagonia items. Good pockets although I don't care for the zippered pocket on the upper arm. Since I haven't yet washed it, I can't say how well it washes. I will probably wash by hand to prevent pilling even though it says machine washable.

I love this sweater jacket! It's warm, not too bulky and can be used for just about any occasion. I want more!

This is a great sweater! Sporty yet stylish enough to wear all day. Love the length (a bit beyond the hips) and fitted shape. It fits a bit looser than I expected but the smaller size was too tight and not good for layering.

I love the fit of this fleece and have gotten so many compliments! I used to have a North Face but I feel like everyone has those and this is more unique. And I love the pocket on the sleeve. Natural is my favorite color.

Love this jacket! The color is wonderful and the fit is perfect. Very happy with my purchase!

I have lived in this sweater from San Diego winter mornings to Quito Ecuador chilly evenings to NY winters under a heavier jacket! It's warm and comfortable.

I love the color! The jacket is so warm and snug and great for cold and even rainy days. It was a little bigger than expected, but very comfortable and cozy.

I have grown tired of the look of fleece and wanted something similar but different. This is perfect. Feels cozy, yet doesn't look as dull as fleece. Has a nice trim fit, not a boxy, men's style fit.

I have purchased many Patagonia products over the years and overall they are wonderful in terms of quality and fit. I wanted very much to like this better sweater. Even after reading the reviews and warnings about the sweater pilling, I still purchased it. However, the sweater pilled so much even though I was really careful with it. It started to pill even before I had a chance to wash it! It pilled everywhere on the outside. I was so disappointed as I loved the concept of a fleece on the inside, but a sweater on the outside. Save your money for a different Patagonia product. Thank you, Zappos, for standing behind the product and letting me return it.

I bought this jacket in another color about 2-3 years ago. The sizing has changed--whereas a size small was too tight in the past and the sleeves were too short, now it fits perfectly. I am 5'6" and weigh 125 lbs. This is a great light weight jacket, perfect for indoors or out. Ordering from Zappos is the best. No other online retailer that I know of will send an exchange item with overnight delivery without charging your credit card a second time.This is a form of customer service that really makes a difference to customers. Thanks!

This is a great mid-weight jacket! Out of the box, the zipper appeared "bendy" which gave the jacket a funny silhouette, and I almost returned, it, but after one or two wearings the zipper has settled down and now it's just about perfect. Sturdy, cute, not too bulky.

I love this fleece because it's warm without being too bulky. It's well cut and has good length. The inside is really fuzzy and comfy, and the outside looks a bit more like a sweater than a fleece. I am 5'7" 145 lbs, wear 36B and Medium fits well.

I love this fleece! It is warm, soft and comfy for hiking and yet at the same time has a nice feminine cut that looks stylish enough to wear in my informal office. I have the heathered pink color, which goes with pretty much everything and looks great on those with a paler skin like myself. The color is much nicer in reality than in the pictures. For those worried about sizing: I am 5'5", 108 lbs and the XS fits perfectly. It's longer than usual on the hips but I think I'll be grateful for that when it gets cold.

This is cozy, comfortable, and pretty flattering (for a woodsy girl). It is definitely going down the Rogue River with me this summer!

I have only worn this once, but love it so far! Ordered a medium to allow for multiple layers underneath, and am pleased with the fit. I typically wear a small in clothing. I like that the material is different that your typical fleece.

Love this jacket. It is perfect. I normally like my clothes fitted (as with the models here) but I went up to a medium to accommodate my friends 36C. I am 5'11", 135 and a 4/6 normally. It is a tiny bit loose but I can wear something heavier underneath it now. The only thing I might suggest is to have a cinch tab at the bottom for windy days, but otherwise I am not complaining. This jacket is so comfy - indeed a better sweater.

I bought this jacket in black, size xl. I'm normally a size 16 and I found the xl to be on the large side. As far as warmth, it's great as a mid-layer under my raincoat, but on it's own it doesn't keep the wind out. Not a winter jacket, more of a cozy sweater.
