Protect the ocean so it can protect us

Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

Still The Best

This jacket is a replacement for the same style I have donated due to a change in size. I have owned a number of different Patagonia products and have always been extremely pleased with the quality, sizing and service.

September 20, 2023

Wonderfully Comfy

Bought the Better Sweater Jacket since I wanted something I can easily slip in and out of due to the full-length zip. I have two older pullovers, which I love. The Nouveau Green is the perfect shade of green! My only gripe is with the cuff opening. It's awkwardly large leaving the sleeves to slip down past the wrists and over my hands. (In cas... Read Moree you're wondering, my wrists and hands aren't tiny or puppet-sized.) The cuffs on my pullovers are just how they should be, just snug enough to stay put. Other than that minor annoyance, this jacket is awesome.

Great look for Fall Outdoor Wear!

This was a gift very well received by my son-in-law who tried it on immediately and was very happy with the fit and the look!

September 6, 2023

Hey Bruce, thanks for the review and our apologies for the confusion with sizing. All of our products come in different fits: form-fitting, slim, regular and relaxed; so that could be adding to the confusion. If you check on the fit tab on the product page, you can find this information. We're not sure which raincoat you purchased, but this jacket has a regular fit. If you ever have questions about size, please connect with customer service. We're happy to help, and we can provide you with garment measurements. If you ever make a mistake, we do offer free and easy exchanges which could be started on [this page](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Best Sweater Jacket

Calling it the "better" sweater is being modest. It's so comfortable that upon putting it on, I was overflown by feelings of safety and goodness. Feels like home. The one thing I'd change would be to make the sleeves elastic. There is no stretch to them whatsoever. Oh, and to make the hooded version available to Europe!

I think in a way, we are all looking for that one perfect sweater that we just feel attached to. If that is you, my friend your search has come to an end. I love this for work.

Flawless. Patagonia went to a weird pocket design over the last few years which sucked. This is now once again a simple, minimal, and beautiful garment which will last for years. Timeless and exceptional.

Hello Neil, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Since we sell items internationally and to minimize the size of the care tag with various translations, we use the Federal Trade Commission care guide symbols. Our [product care symbol guide](https://www.patagonia.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-PatagoniaShared/default/dw4550ef83/PDF-US/carecard.pdf) will explain everything – and help you keep your gear in great shape. With that said, when it comes to washing your Better Sweater, we would recommend washing in cool water with light detergent and then tumble dry on low-to-no heat. We would also recommend drying this item alone to avoid any pilling from occurring.

I have had a similar, but not the same model, patagonia jacket before, but this jacket runs larger. I regret not returning the jacket and purchase a size medium. Besides the fit, I still recommend this product. Its a warm and versatile jacket.

A great versatile zip-up!

This is my third better sweater of various models. I got this one from a generous offer at the Patagonia Store because they were far backed up on zipper replacements for my old one! One note of caution...Patagonia has apparently made their new Medium from the Large template. I ordered a Large, the same as my old one and it was about 2 inches too ...

Fits 3x too large compared to previous versions

I've owned many versions of this jacket and have always been an XS. It seems Patagonia has increased their XS to a Medium now and is much too large everywhere.

So far, I love the feel of the Better Sweater. It keeps me warm on cool days, but it still breathes a bit to keep me from overheating. My body size landed between a small and medium.

Better Sweater - best made jacket !!

I ordered a small based on other reviews. First, I am 5'7" on a good day and under 150 lbs. Here is what I discovered. The sleeve length is longer than what I expected.

Inconsistent bad sizing

Originally got this in a medium and the collar was tight even when not fully zipped, but rest of the fit was good and it looked good. Returned and tried large, but it was way too baggy and arm length was rather long. Just in general looked unflattering with how baggy it was. Went back for a medium and while the collar was fine. The armholes wer... Read Moree very off that they were digging into my armpits even unzipped. Just going have to unfortunately return this and be done with it as playing return tag for sizing issue isn't fun. I will say it looks quite good, I got the Stonewash color and had it fit well it's clearly a nice design and color with a preppy vibe from the popped collar which covers the back of the neck. However, should note it's very much not wind resistant or solid as I could feel the breeze in the jacket while fully zipped.

Runs a little big

I've always had the fleece, but I love this piece. Ended up buying a 2nd one and wear it to work as a nurse, a lot! Initially got the L size, but found it was just too big, much happier with a Medium-so I think it runs slightly large. Can't say enough good things about the quality, warmth and ease of use!

Perfect for those with dodgy heating

I'm wearing it as I type (it's one of those evenings when the temperature has fallen too quickly for the radiators to keep up). The shell has a sweater knit, while the interior is comfy fleece. Works great outdoors on a cool day, or layered under a barn coat.

Great

This sweater is great and keeps me warm. It fits everywhere but it a little tight through the shoulders. But if I get the bigger size its way to big everywhere else. I love it

My first experience with "sweater

My first experience with "sweater fleece". It has a knitted look (more formal or dressier appearance, more like a wool jacket) compared with traditional fleece which has no grain. The grain in this jacket is vertical ... which is better, aesthetically, than if it was horizontal. It's denser and firmer (stiffer but not uncomfortably s... Read Moreo) than regular fleece, and seems to have equal insulation value to traditional (unknitted) 200 gm fleece. I think the density makes this jacket comparatively more wind, water and weatherproof than unknitted fleece. I think the density makes the knitted fleece more windproof so I can go longer without putting on a top layer in the wind. And holds in the heat better when I rest. The knitted surface does not have the outside fabric "coziness" of traditional fleece but the inside has a warm feel and the pocket lining material is comparatively superior in warmth and feel and doesn't catch on rough skin and frayed fingernails, rings and watches when you stick your hands inside. There are 3 regular exterior pockets and 1 interior open breast pocket. I think the pocket system (location, number, their significant volume, and importantly, the zips) are optimum for function, capacity and security (my cell phone, key fob and wallet do not fall out when I am active). That was one main reason I landed on the Patagonia jacket in the first place: the pocket system. The other reasons I prefer this jacket are: the raised collar with the main zip to the top so it acts like a scarf without the bulkiness of a scraf (and this collar looks better too), and it doesn't interfere with over layers like fold-over collars do). Then there is the length of the jacket. Too many fleece underlayer jackets stop too high on the back .... just where you need the jacket to cover your lower back in the cold. This Patagonia design has a longer body that covers the areas which normally become exposed when active, or when bending over, or sitting in a boat, a plane or the back of a pick-up, or reaching when climbing and lifting. The one thing I would do to improve this jacket is a two-way, up-and-down zipper, so it can be left open at the bottom and zipped in either direction. That would improve body temp control adjustment flexibility, and cool-down options, depending on conditions and activities.

Nice warm jacket but pills too easily

Overall a good everyday jacket. However pilling is a big issue. I have two of these jackets and both have pilling after a few months. Normal machine wash and separated from other garments.

Response from Patagonia
January 20, 2023

Hi Fangao, like all fleeces, the Better Sweater has a tendency to pill. Due to the knit appearance of the face fabric of this particular item, this pilling can be more noticeable. To prevent pilling, we recommend washing that item either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get abraded.   To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again.  Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your fleece, you are absolutely welcome to send it in for a [warranty returns evaluation](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) under our Ironclad Guarantee.

Bought as a gift for my BIL

My BIL is a Patagonia super fan and he was thrilled to get this jacket for Christmas. After 10 years of hard living, his old one has seen better days. He likes everything about it - the weight, the fit, durability, etc. Excellent product!

Sizing is off

I am a tried and true M with Patagonia going on 3 decades. Sleeves on this were extremely long---like 4" too long. Overall length is also several inches too long. Just a bizarre cut. Would exchange it but am overseas and it's just way too inconvenient to do so.

Perfect for Work or Errands

Bought this for my husband as a gift. It's great to wear into work on cooler Fall or Spring days and can be worn around the office with a button down when the AC is blasting. Also perfect for running errands and other casual activities.

Home Run Gift

I gave this sweater to my son as a Christmas gift, after getting a thumbs from his wife who also gave me his size and the best color. My son is a cardiologist at Johns Hopkins and rides a bike to work. He and his wife also hike. My son immediately put his sweater on after tearing off the wrapping, and wore the rest of the day and home on the plane.... Read More This sweater was a huge home run as a gift! And we all like the Patagonia mission.

Pills too easily

This is the second time I've purchased this product. It looks great and fits well, but a serious liability is that within a month or so it starts to pill, eventually making it looking pretty ratty. I otherwise LOVE Patagonia products, but won't be purchasing this again.

Thank you for sharing this review, Richard. We're sorry you've been disappointed about the pilling that has happened with your jackets. While some pilling with this fleece is bound to happen many customers find sweater shavers work well to remove the excess. Please let us know if we can be of any help!

Excellent Sweater

And a perfect base layer to my Macro puff in colder climate. Beware on fit. I had to go one size down. I wish there was something between S and M

Love it!!!

Very awesome product and a very awesome company.

Bought my fleece to replace

Bought my fleece to replace 20 year old Columbia fleece jacket. Good quality compared to other fleece jackets on the market. It has a tappered fit vs Columbia so i had to buy an XL vs. large

December 31, 2022

It is a nice jacket.

It is a nice jacket. Runs on the smaller side. Too short for my (little over) 6ft son. Sent back for XL.

My husband love it so much. Its very comfortable and super warm.

On Point

Son loves it , was wearing it on Xmas day had to tell him it was ok to take it off since it was 76 degrees

Super coat

Fit just right! Would buy again!

Super warm

Very comfortable and light to ware

December 25, 2022

No so warm

The sweater/jacket is well made and the fit is excellent. It is warm under stagnate conditions, however if there is the slightest breeze the sweater offers little protection. The winter temperatures my area range 50 to 70. The sweater/jacket looks nice but I am disappointed it does not offer more protection from the cold.

Hey Barry, thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear that it's not working out with the Better Sweater Fleece Jacket. This particular fleece is not windproof, but we do have some windproof options if you're interested in alternatives. We recommend checking out the [Men's Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-classic-retro-x-fleece-jacket/23056.html?dwvar_23056_color=NEWA&cgid=mens-fleece).

Nice, comfortable sweater.

I really enjoy this sweater. It's comfortable, and casual while looking nice enough to wear to slightly more formal occasions. I weight around 180lbs, so originally I purchased a medium, however it was too long in the arms and baggy on the trunk. I returned it for a small, with a very quick return time by Patagonia. The small certainly looks b... Read Moreetter, it does not leave much room for thicker clothing underneath. Highly recommend though.

After I bought the jacket

After I bought the jacket I was thinking maybe It was too long, but now that Im wearing it almost everyday Ive come to realize that being long is not a bad thing it keeps me warm. Many pockets means a lot of storage another plus if you need it and with hiking you will find that there is enough storage space that you wont need a backpack as much as ...

Warm and Cozy - return if the size is wrong

Truly love the Better Sweater - have to dock 1 star due to inconsistent sizing. The arms were a little large, and the waist was like a huge hoop. I thought the design had changed and was very disappointed. However, I had ordered two sweaters and the other color was the size expected (both were L) I sent back and the replacement was the right s... Read Moreize. At the moment one out of three of my Patagonia orders are sized differently. Its a hassle, if it doesn't fit replace!

Excellent quality and style

This is my second better sweater from my adult kids! The fit, color, and weave keep me comfortable and looking good as I navigate another Midwest winter.

December 22, 2022

Very comfortable and warm

Very nice color, practical, casual, soft and very warm. Great addition for everyday wear, hiking or work. I love it

December 21, 2022

Great second layer

Great as second layer but as with most of Patagonia clothes you can combine it inifinitely. Fits perfect, material is great and color is intense. Love this one

December 21, 2022

Always as promised

Same great quality and fit as always!

Great quality, warm and good fit over other clothes.

Like the sweater, warm and

Like the sweater, warm and comfy, but the fit isn’t that good. I tried on L at that was way too tight, so ordered XL. Too wide at the bottom. Has a kind of elastic but isn’t elastic enough so it’s more of a tent and I wear it when I don’t have to leave the house.

December 18, 2022

Its my go to. I use it all the time. Fits great.

December 17, 2022

Great quality

Very satisfied with my purchase. It's a bit expensive but you do get what you pay for. It's early days, but I think I'll be enjoying this garment for a long time.

December 16, 2022

longest sleeves ever...

overall this is a great garment. durable, warm fleece layer that stands up to a lot of different uses, but the sizing needs adjustment in my opinion. fit is good. sizing - not as good. sleeves are long for a medium. my opinion is that 6'1" 175 is not medium...

December 16, 2022

Warm, comfortable, great look!

Perfect sweater! Its warm, comfortable, and the fits great. Totally recommended.

December 16, 2022

Excellent Warmth to Weight ratio

The Patagonia Better Sweater provides an incredible warmth to weight ratio meaning it is very light yet super warm. For addition warmth, add a shell over the top of it and you are good to go for additional colder weather. Makes for a great travel piece. Wears like iron. Highly recommended.

December 16, 2022

I like the fit and

I like the fit and appearance of the sweater jacket. I was somewhat uncertain of the burnt orange color, but it looks great. I wear the sweater jacket around the house and outside during the cool winter weather. It really keeps me warm.

December 15, 2022

Nice color, well knit and solid craftsmanship, a daily go-to

Thumbs up everyday. now my 3rd

December 15, 2022

Sleeves too long and cuff does not help

The sleeves are simply too long that forced me to go a size down. Medium would be much more comfortable for me but choosing that means the cuff would end pass the tip of my fingers. The cuff should be redesigned to accommodate people with shorter arms but rounder body. Not recommended for shorter guys with a bit of a round belly.

Response from Patagonia
December 21, 2022

We're sorry to hear the fit isn't quite right on this one. Our Better Sweater fleece material doesn't have much stretch at all, so we recommend taking a look at one of our other [Men's Fleece Jackets](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/mens-fleece) like our Reclaimed Fleece Jacket, Shearling Jacket, Micro D Jacket, Synchilla Jacket or Synchilla Cardigan. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service or your local store for a return. Thanks for the review!

Great Sweater for Tall Person

It's really a great sweater. It looks great and it's got great pockets. The fit is good for me as a tall person, meaning the sleeves are long enough and the torso length aligns slightly below my belt. It's very warm, and yet simultaneously breathable, making it great for cold weather hiking, as it traps just enough heat to stay warm ... Read Morebut not so much I'm roasting after warming up. Maybe one word of warning is that it does shrink after washing, so account for that as you try it on. I felt like before washing the Large was a little big around my chest, but since washing it, it's shrunk slightly to be a very comfortable and nice-looking fit.

December 13, 2022

I now have 2 long

I now have 2 long sleeve better Sweaters and 2 better sweater vests. They are my favorite cold weather pieces. They are very well made, look great and fit well. I retired last summer, I use to wear these pieces to work, now I just wear them a lot.

Great Patagonia jacket

What should I said about this product, this is the third time that I bought this type of jacket because of the quality and the comfort

December 11, 2022

Amazing quality

Great quality. Have never had such a cozy warm sweater before. Definitely worth the price

December 10, 2022

Great for comfort and warmth

Super piece of gear for our Florida winter weather. Sheds dew in the morning. Keeps you comfortable in our 40 degree days and pretty impervious to wind. Very comfortable. Not for heavy rain but great in a shower.

The Better Sweater is Better than Ever !

Warm & cozy - trim fit - great quality - indestructible - lucky to have it in 4 colors - throw it in the washing machine - keep it out of the dryer - typical Patagonia quality - super product

December 9, 2022

Brilliant

I was replacing a very old full zip jacket of a different make and so far this works very well... I hope the condition remains as good in years to come as the old one did.

December 8, 2022

Good fit if ur a tiny man:)

Ran too tight across back everywhere else was fine. Im also a model with Wilhelmina sooo not a big meat head:) Im 6 3 200lbs

Not as warm as I expected

I bought this in Europe and found it to be not as warm as I expected. The sleeves are tight and when putting it on the sleeves stick to your shirt. Its good looking, just wish it was warmer.

Scheels Rochester did not have

Scheels Rochester did not have the green and thats what my husband wanted so when we got home I ordered it on line. Now he has 2 (grey and green and he loves them.

Love the fine knit texture. The jacket is warm and comfortable and true to size

December 1, 2022

Very warm

This jacket is very warm and fit very well apart from the sleeves which were very long, about 4 inches past my wrist which made it very awkward to wear without folding the sleeves back a little bit

November 30, 2022

Super warm

Great sweater that you can use on a colder day or post winter surf session..great for casual work functions or a nice dinner. Runs a lil closer to true to size but decided to go a little bigger.
