Customer Reviews Patagonia Better Sweater™ Jacket

I already had the Better Sweater in the 1/4 zip style and loved it, so I wanted to try out the full zip and I couldn't be happier! Because this jacket is very lightweight, it's hard to believe how much warmth it provides! It's perfect for over a long-sleeve in the winter or over a t-shirt in the spring. Also, if you have a pet this jacket is the best because it does not attract pet hair the way that my North Face Denali jacket does. I am 5'1" and weigh 109 lbs. and ordered an XS. Since my arms aren't very long, the sleeves are about an inch longer than I'd hoped, but it fits perfectly everywhere else, so overall I am happy with the fit.

I bought this sweater in black to wear under my Barbour jacket during a weeklong trip to San Francisco. It was perfect. I have continued to wear it frequently, and often layer it with my winter parka. This combination has kept my toasty, even when the temperature dropped to one degree in New York! Highly recommend.

I ordered the L in this jacket (typically wear a L in Patagonia) and it fits perfectly with a little room so I can wear a l/s shirt or light sweater underneath. I have broader shoulders and a long torso, and the L fit both just fine.

I am in my 60's, and I used to wear Patagonia products all the time, but haven't bought anything new in a number of years. They never wear out! I purchased this lovely jacket and I can't stop wearing it. First off, it is a beautiful color. Secondly, I love the way it fits. The ONLY thing I would mention about this jacket is that I have long arms, and the sleeves are almost too long even for me. It is a gorgeous jacket, light and super warm!

Great product. Purchased as a gift for my daughter and she is thrilled with it. Thank you.

Great jacket! It's very warm and soft. I'm 5'3" and 110lbs and the XS fits perfectly.

Loved this so much it's my second one. Great style, fit, color. A few friends bought one after seeing mine!

I love this jacket. It is so soft, so flattering and so warm. Sleeves are nice and long so even someone 5'10" with long arms like myself can enjoy warm wrists. I love the look of the heathered color. Fit is slim, so it is flattering. I have worn this jacket every day since I received it in the mail.

Fairly decent zip up sweater. A bit bulky. And try not to put it in the dryer at all. It will start to pill up a very quickly.

I have had this jacket for two years now and love it except for the pilling. It started pilling early on but I do use it almost daily. It has also gotten thinner. I wish they had not raised the price on this, I am conflicted as to replace mine. I have it in the feather grey in a medium (I am 5'7, 130 lbs)and have found it very versatile.

I loved this sweater jacket so much that I came back and purchased it in a different color! It is so comfy and well made, I would recommend it to anyone who wants cool-weather warmth.

Perfect, my daughter loved it! It isn't very thick, it is the same as a zippered sweater, so if you are purchasing it for a coat, try another.

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. She liked it a lot and wears the jacket. Considering how entitled and picky she is, I would call the jacket a total success.

My daughter wanted this exact jacket for over a year. Zappos had a great price on that cyber Monday so I got it. The daughter likes it a lot.

This is a beautiful sweater that I bought for my daughter. I'm returning it because I ordered the wrong size. They were so prompt at getting it to me the first time. I hope it is not a problem to return it for the correct size.

I love this jacket. It's very soft and comfortable, and I can wear it out in about 30 degree weather and be extremely comfortable. I recommend sizing up if you like the sleeves to be a little longer. The neck is kind of awkward because it won't lay flat, but still, an overall great jacket.

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!

I bought what I thought was this sweater jacket about 3-4 years ago. It is just way too long and it hits right below the hip and so pulls across one's bottom/stomach and is really unflattering. I'm tall (5'9") and in fairly good shape so I'm not sure who they are sizing this for. Unfortunately it must go back! I hate when they ruin a great style by making unnecessary changes, so hopefully it's working for someone else.

Love the style of this jacket! Sadly, it doesn't appear to be as substantial as the jacket I ordered last year. Additionally, I've worn it infrequently, have not washed it and noticed that it's already starting to pill. Style and comfort get 5 stars but overall? A 3 star disappointment for overall investment.

Great mid-weight jacket. I love the slightly longer fit, fitted body, and bright color. This is exactly what I was looking for and I'll wear it all fall and pack on my hiking adventure trip.

This is a fabulous jacket! Soft material and warm. I like the fit as it is fitted and stylish. Just looks great. It has been warm enough on cool mornings in the 40s but I have not yet tried it in cooler weather. I wear an 8 or 10 in shirts and ordered the large. It is just right. I highly recommend it.

I have this sweater in purple. I love the color which is true to the picture, love the softness and warmth of the fabric (think fleece). It is perfect for layering in the winter or as a jacket in the fall. I am getting it in another color, also.

Love this sweater/jacket. Warm, attractive for sports or casual wear. I have a small and it fits well. I usually wear size 6-8.

Color is beautiful. I get comments all the time on how pretty and unusual it is. Jacket is light weight and fitted but very warm. Perfect for layering over a sweater in the fall or early spring.
