It’s Fleece Season! Patagonia Better Sweater

We basically wear our Better Sweaters from Patagonia all year round, so we wanted to cover some of our favorite things about this fleece. Gearheads Cat and Kendall walk us through the ins and outs of the Better Sweater to explain why we like it so much.

The better sweater is super cozy and warm thanks to its midweight fabric design and soft inner lining. It’s fashionable enough for casual and lifestyle wear, but it’s also breathable for outdoor activities like hiking. It’s warm enough for layering up in the winter, and it’s great to wear on its own in the spring or fall.

It's not only Patagonia fleece we have. But and different good companies. And fleece we have for different categories for winter, summer and all seasons. Like Polartec companie 100, 200 and 300 models fleece. And it's like one person likes down jacket, another one like synthetic jacket. And wich one is a best decide for you. Because you a wearing.

I love mine, it's soft, nice to wear and actually really warm. And it fits perfectly :)

Seen this video as a reference for when I was thinking of buying my first Patagonia jacket. Wasn’t aware this video was by BackCountry. I’ve bought all but one of my jackets from Back Country 🤣

Just bought one, cant wait to Put in on

I love mine. It is not a technical piece of clothing, so don’t get it if that’s what you’re after. However, with that exception, it’s probably the most versatile item in my closet. It is extremely comfy and looks great with anything. I find it warm enough for temps down to the 40s, so it’s great for shoulder seasons. I can pull it on with shorts for a morning walk to the coffee shop or throw it over a button up for the office. Traveling is where it really shines- it works just fine for hikes while still looking sporty enough to wear out for dinner.

I like it but the torso seems really short. I’d go to a medium, which I usually wear, but then the arms become really long to the point that they cover my entire hand as well.

Soft, warm but not hot, durable. Got mine on eBay and have had it for 3 years now with no wear. Anything Patagucci is worth every cent

Hell no your wrong, it’s a jacket not a coat. It’s super comfortable and fits so good, I’m getting a second color

[blanco]

The fact people think they need a jacket over 140 to look good is soooo depressing knew someone in all designer once in high school didn’t pull one girl in his life even when he tried

[torreyintahoe]

I will never buy from Patagonia again.
