Synchilla® Anorak

4.4/5
Kinda Large
May 21, 2023

So Comfy

This pullover is amazing and I am only upset I didn't find it sooner. I have owned the Synchilla Snap T pullover for years and basically live in it in the colder months, but I was looking for something similar with pockets. I came across the forest green color in this model this year and decided to give it a shot, I was not in anyway disappoin... Read Moreted. Compared to the Synchilla Snap T pullover , I was surprised to find that this one is much thicker and warmer. It will definitely be my new go to for the winter months. I am 5 ft 6 in and around 140 lbs and purchased the small, its still a cozy, oversized fit but is not too long or baggy in any way in my opinion, but if you want a tighter fit definitely size down. I wear a medium in the Snap T. I also really like the forest green color, something a bit different and colorful but still a winterish feel. Because it is so thick, it most likely will not be the travel companion that my Snap T is as it is definitely not very packable, but it will be perfect for lounging at home, early hikes, car camping, and road trips :) Thanks Patagonia for making the best gear!

New Favorite!

This piece is a great addition to any active wardrobe. Classic Patagonia style fleece

So soffffft!

Great quality and beautifully finished with no "bits and bobs" to cut and remove. Thank you.

Fleece

It's your standard, high quality fleece you would expect from patagonia.

May 4, 2023

Decent Pullover!

This sweater is not as nice as the shearling button fleece pullover that I bulk bought, but it still feels very comfortable and roomy. It runs a bit large for the size I got, but it doesn't feel as form-fitting and soft on the body compared to other pieces in their collection.

April 28, 2023

Almost too warm

Now this is completely my fault. I run warm and did not fully realize just how warm this jacket would be for how light it is. I spent some time sweating and feeling like I was melting. With that being said it was not too cold outside so it definitely wasn't the right weather to wear it. Now that I have learned I look forward to wearing it in t...

April 5, 2023

Great quality, a tad small

I love this sweater and can't wait to wear it. I'm 5'7" and have another synchilla in a size Small that fits great (a tad baggy with room for other layers is how I like it). With that, this feels a little tighter and restricting than other synchillas, so I may be exchanging it for a size Medium and hoping for the best.

April 5, 2023

I really like Patagonia's pull-over

I really like Patagonia's pull-over fleeces. I love the side pockets on this fleece. I do not like the front pocket. the material on the flap covering the zipper is very stiff and unforgiving.

Jumper

I bought a jumper beige and navy blue details as a present for my boyfriend, bought a size L instead of XL (what he normally wears) and it fit perfectly, both in length and on the sleeves.

Very Warm

Impressed by how warm it keeps me. The fit is a little loose but expected and still well cut.

March 2, 2023

Like wearing a comfy blanket

This is the second Synchilla I own. both are soft, like wearing a comfy blanket, and warm. It is a regular fit; not too tight nor too baggy. I think the zippers on the hand-warmer pockets are uncomfortable and think this could do without. Otherwise, it is a great winter layer!

March 2, 2023

Solid fit and great print

I got an XL like I do for normal Synchilla for a roomy fit and it works the same. The forest floor print is great and its super soft.

Pullover fleece

I love the pockets on this fleece.

Warm & Toasty

The fleece keeps me super warm and the quality is really wonderful! It is definitely a men's fit so i have to roll the sleeves and the hem a little bit, but that's not a huge deal.

This is a very warm sweater. I love the warmth and the color. The size is a bit tricky, though. I'm 5'4'' and usually wears XS, but this XS is a bit large. I wear it as an over-size and kind of cool with it.

Slim Fit

Do not be fooled by the description that this is a more relaxed fit. It is very slim. I wear a True Medium in all brands, including Patagonia. I have an average build. This one is very narrow in the shoulders and the sleeves are also very slim. You cannot layer any long sleeve underneath it comfortably. Unfortunately this follws the trend that ... Read MorePatagonia is moving away from its outdoor roots. Most garments they make today follow the slim and "fashionable" cuts.

I bought this to wear in mid-west winters. It is a perfect weight for outdoor activities with a mid-weight capilene base layer for when the temps are in the upper 20's.

Super warm

I weight 150lbs, 5'6-5-7 slim. Medium is on a bit bigger size but manageable. Small would be perfect for a regular fit. Not too big and not too small. Super warm and great quality.

Warmth without Roasting!

Love this top! It is warm without the overheating. And has enough room to add a layer for extra warmth if wanted.love the center pocket. Great, simple color for jeans. Launders great. Fit is a bit large but I like the extra room.

February 9, 2023

Super comfortable

This sweater fit more comfortably than expected. I have the nanopuff jacket and expected it to fit just as snug as that one in medium, but this felt more relaxed. It was a good fit and can comfortably wear it all day on a cool day.

January 29, 2023

Perfect weight

I'm 5-9" tall and 165-168 lbs and the medium fit is perfect. The medium has plenty of room for movement without being too big or too tight. I use this with merino wool base layers and a Goe-Tex outer jacket mainly for skiing. If it's very cold, I'll wear a nano puff jacket under the outer layer and over this Fleece Anorak. This... Read More is a perfect weight and very warm, being it's a double layer fleece. The long front zip gives you a good way to vent if need be and it makes for easy donning and removal. The top pouch is shallow, so it's perfect for retrieving items that get lost in deeper pouches. The hand warmers on the sides as well as the pouch are mesh lined and storm flap covered. The collar is a little big to fit snug around my 15.5" neck but with an outer layer it snugs up to keep the warmth in. The Forest Floor colors are very retro which really makes it a Patagonia stand out. The Synchilla is 100% manufactured recycled polyester which is a giant plus for the environment for future generations. You won't be disappointed with this product if you like warmth, functionality, style and environmental consciousness.

Only one problem

This is a terrific garment, except for one thing. I tried my usual size xl, but the forearms were too tight. Then I tried the xxl. Still too tight to justify the purchase.

So Comfortable

Comfy

This is a comfy fleece, but not the most practical fleece for most people. I find that this Synchilla has a retro feel, that one learns to appreciate, like a retro car or device.

Los Gatos is more comfy, retro x is absolutely wind proof, r1 is more breathable, but this is like an old Cadillac that does nothing right but still is a go to.

I was able to exchange this fleece for another one with a different edging, but I would have much preferred to keep this one. I greatly appreciate Patagonia's policy to stand by their product and to repair as needed, but unfortunately it seems this Synchilla fleece along with others like it in stitching will continue to have issues. I certainly hope I'm the only one, but after having "gone through" two separate Synchilla Anorak fleeces like these it just seems like it's the design. Will keep an eye out in the future for another one like it, but with a better design.

Very comfortable, got a lot

Very comfortable, got a lot of compliments. Would like lining inside pockets as fleece can be rough on skin of your hands

Poor quality? :(

I really want to love this jacket but so far I have had quality issues sadly. I first bought this in person and when I first put it on at home I noticed the bottom hem was torn about 4 inches. I sent it back and bought another one. I put my new one on and the hem on the end of my sleeve is torn and fraying off. Im really not one to complain but I w... Read Moreould think for the price I would have better luck with the quality. I would still recommend getting this; its super cozy and warm! Hopefully I just got unlucky with the two I purchased.

We appreciate your feedback! Fraying and fabric damage is definitely not something that should be happening so soon after purchase, let alone right out of the box. Please contact our customer service [here](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) and we'll be happy to discuss options with you to get you taken care of!

The Fleece That Dreams Are Made Of

So I came into the Patagonia store hoping to buy a low key fleece pullover for winter as a mid layer. What I unknowingly walked out with was the fleece of my dreams. It’s super warm, isn’t too hot, isn’t too thin, and it feels like I’m getting the biggest hug. All day. My husband joked that hugging me was like hugging a teddy bear. Y’all, I am full... Read Morey ready to embody the teddy bear energy. Hands down, no questions asked, this is the best fleece I’ve ever bought. So soft, so warm, so comfortable. It’s got a double layer of fleece around the neck and on the chest, and it honestly makes such a difference. If you’re having any second thoughts, don’t. You won’t regret it.

Nice but too big

I bought this because I loved the way it looked online. I got it and tried it on but it was huge in the waist and arms. Be careful when ordering. I would size down. My tag says mens small and womens medium.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to write a product review on the Synchilla Fleece Anorak. The reason this may feel a little bit larger than previous Synchillas you may have tried on is because it is sized as Unisex. We'd be happy to assist you with a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) for a smaller size if this feels too large for you.

Super cute but not for me

I so desperately try to support such a wonderful company, but as a woman with a chest, its been hard to find anything that fits both in the chest and doesnt swallow the waist. This is super cute/retro and fit in the chest but was enormous in the arms and waist. But it is super cute if you like things baggy or for men. I sadly returned.

Comfortable and Cool

My anorak is super comfortable and I love how it looks. It's been a great addition to my wardrobe. Bonus points for the secure and spacious pockets.

Love it

Love this just a bit tight/cant layer if you are wearing a sweatshirt/sweater. Fine with just a tee.

Love the retro look!

Had to have this as soon as I saw it. Very retro patagonia and not something Ive come across when looking at resale sites - definitely a print youd hold on to until it falls to pieces. Synchilla feel and weight but with a style twist on the anorak - love it. I typically can do either an XS or S in a synchilla and this is the same size wise in my op... Read Moreinion. Im 54 and 135lbs for reference.

Great color and great pockets

I enjoy the brilliant colors, the comfortable design, and the very useful pockets. I have not had the opportunity to wear it much so far, yet I expect it will soon be one of my most frequently used fleece sweaters.

Super warm

Useful large front zip pocket and zip side pockets. Very snuggly.
