Customer Reviews Patagonia Better Sweater™ Jacket

It was a bit hard to shell out this much for a single piece of clothing, but I am very glad that I did. This jacket instantly became my favorite piece of outerwear, and not a week goes by that I don't wear it 4-5 times. It is surprising warm, yet not bulky. The interior and exterior are both very soft and comfortable to wear. If you can look past the high price tag, you won't regret buying this jacket.

Unfortunately, I'm returning it - too long for me and not as thick as I imagined it (not unlike many other similar items I already own) for the money.

This is a great little sweater! I bought this in lieu of the ever so overdone North Face Denali jacket. It's nice and has a great classic look. I wear it with my down vest for a great casual winter outfit! Fits perfectly too! It's tapered at the waste for a nice feminine detail. Highly recommend!

I love this jacket. It is the perfect weight. I am 5'7", 145lbs and bought the medium. It fits perfect - not too big or small.

It's great! Warm and cozy without bulk. Love the color! I put it through the washer and it kept perfect shape.

Love Patagonia, love this new Maraschino color! I'm a Texan displaced temporarily to Ohio; I plan on wearing this IN the house! Nice and soft, fits closely, and cheery color! I ordered my usual size, XS, and it fits well as expected. If I had room, I'd have every color!

Love, love, love! Bought the black, and I own the magenta as well. Very comfortable, warm, fitted nicely. Perfect for cool weather and good looking, too. 5'5", 108lbs size xs is just right.

I ordered the L in both Endive and Fresco Blue. It is worth noting that the sleeves on the Endive were an inch longer than the Fresco Blue. I'm a tall woman with abnormally long arms so I found the green one to fit my needs perfectly. Both colors were lovely and accurately represented on the screen. It is yummy soft on the inside and a bit classier looking on the outside compared to your average fleece jacket. As far as pilling goes, I have yet to find a fleece that doesn't pill! So I am expecting this one to pill a bit, I think it's just the nature of the beast.

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

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 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 love it! I was a little worried about the fit not being feminine enough, but it actually contours my shape well. The color is great and if I need an extra layer I can still fit a cardigan underneath. Only wish I would have bought one with a hood. =)

Bought this for my mom for Christmas and it is by far one of the nicest sweaters/fleece that I've purchased for her by far. The fit is great! Be warned though, this item is a "Slim Fit" jacket & is a little bit snugger than expected. Order a size up if you like a little wiggle room.

My favorite sweater, I have the full zip, vest, and 3/4 zip in multiple colors. This is the cutest most comfy sweater ever! Only a couple cons: the material pills really easily, all mine are pilled but I wear them anyways. The second is the sleeves are a little short for tall people. I am 5'10" and wear a small in the bodice area but need a medium in the sleeve length. I hope Patagonia improves the pilling soon because I want to buy more colors!

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.
