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.

April 25, 2023

Toasty!

This puffy is great. I immediately start to warm up when I put it on. I have enough room for a layer or two underneath it, and the cut fits me just fine! Also lovvvve the color, and the sustainability aspect is a a huge pro!

Poor Fit

I have had the down sweater for many years and fit was great. I have a slim, athletic build and have always purchased Patagonia medium (including my down sweater). Wanted to get a hoody version - and, what the heck have you done to sizing? The hips were WAY TOO TIGHT and the body was fitted (no way to layer). I then exchanged for a large and the ch...

Bought for the windblock+down, works great.

I've never had a bad item from Patagonia and, in fact, am still using outerwear purchased more than 30 years ago--have never had to retire any of it, although occasional repairs have been necessary. I do think quality has gone down a bit, though. The last two items I purchased, this hoodie and its non-hoodie version are not as satisfactory. Th...

While it's a good jacket, it doesn't seem up to the extremely high standard I've come to expect of Patagonia products and so I'm a bit disappointed.

February 7, 2023

Quality is not what it used to be

THE BAD: I've been hesitant to write a review because I purchased my coats so long ago (winter 2018). I actually bought two of this same coat because a friend shared her Friends & Family discount with me. So I bought one to wear and I saved one for future use. During the cold season, I wore my coat daily to run errands or go on walks. The ... Read Moreouter material has been horrible because literally everything rips a little hole in the coat. At first, it wasn't a big deal for me - I would just cut a bit of tuck tape and cover the hole. Eventually, small holes (and a few big holes) have formed all over this coat; it literally pukes feathers....to the point that the tuck tape or patches are now pointless. There is a seam that runs along the bottom of each arm sleeve - both sides of my coat have holes along this entire seam (I think the zippers from the pockets rip little micro holes in the sleeves). This jacket is pretty much ready for the trash; I can't even really wear it on dog walks anymore because so many feathers come out. So this winter, I got out my nice "new" coat that I've kept stored...I've worn it less than 2 months, and it's already getting small holes in it. The outer material of these coats is literally the worst. I have a Patagonia down sweater coat from like 2012 and it's in 100% better condition than either one of the 2 coats I have now. In my 2012 coat, I've climbed, biked, camped etc and it doesn't have any holes. In my more recent coats, I have to be SO careful in them (no activities; it's a town coat only) and they still tear. Now, my "new" coat that I got out of storage is going to be my dog walking coat and I have to shop for a more durable puffy that won't tear so easily.....and sadly, I won't be buying the down sweater hoody anymore. Maybe these coats from 2018 were just a bad batch. But I no longer feel confident buying one of these coats from Patagonia. The material Patagonia used to use holds up WAY BETTER than this newer stuff. On a positive note, this coat has been so light weight and packs down super small, yet it is so warm. It's very easy to travel with & the fit was flattering too. I live in a cold climate and this coat has always kept me warm enough. This is why I'm sad the quality has changed and now I have to find a different option. :(

Runs small, but super warm

This is way warmer than older models of the down sweater, which I appreciate. I have the down sweater from 2015, but it doesn't seem to keep me warm under a shell jacket. I would just say that this jacket definitely ran small compared to my 2015 down sweater jacket, and I had to size up. Also like other reviews, it was tight around the hips, a...

Love this coat and fit

Before ordering I read some unhappy reviews about the length of the arms being too long and the jacket being tight around the hips and not for a real woman. But thats my body type! Also a real woman :) I do find the arms a bit longer than other Patagonia jackets I have tried, which made it work better for me as I sometimes find the arms too short. ... Read MoreThe arms fit well on this for me. I find this super cozy, surprisingly warm, and I am generally a person who gets very cold. Love the high neck. It works well for me and adds to the coziness. Everyone is different but I wear this with a thin fleece underneath to walk and have been comfortable down to high 20 degrees F. Below mid 20s I would likely wear either a higher fill down or a shell with it. Love the interior pocket for credit cards, etc. For context on sizing, I am 5 foot 8, about 110 lbs, 24 or 25 inch waist and 28 inch chest and the XS is a little roomy on me particularly in the chest but allows me to layer. Love it.

February 5, 2023

Love the improvements!

I have a down sweater that is at least 10 years old and I am thrilled with everything about the upgrades. The recycled outer is incredibility soft and the jacket is so much warmer than my old one. I was really worried about the fit as so many folks are complaining how small it is. I chatted with a Patagonia rep online and they gave me the actual ja... Read Morecket measurements I requested so I knew just what size to order. Maybe my hips are smaller than I thought because I feel the jacket is quite roomy in the hips (to be fair, I have a large chest so I have to buy to fit that and then deal with everything else so I am just tightening up the bottom and calling it good). As for the black, it is lighter than my other black Patagonia jackets but nothing I would think to complain about. It only looks lighter when I hold it next to another black item so I didn't even notice at first. Overall, fantastic purchase!

February 4, 2023

Perfect all around jacket.

I have one of these that Ive used for backpacking but now its got stains. Ive been using it for my regular warm jacket but decided to buy one just for the cool weather and keep the other for just backpacking. Love this jacket.

The pockets on the inside and exterior are generous. I LOVE the elastic on the hood, give a great fit when its windy.

The only thing I wish they would have kept is the fleece inside the collar for when you have it zipped up. VERY warm, been wearing it in this really cold Colorado winter.

January 28, 2023

Bring back the old version!!

Super disappointed in the new design of this coat. Had one for years and so sad I gave it up for a newer model. The hood is lame, the hips are narrow and it doesn't hold a candle. While I'm on a roll, the color options for this women's coat the last few season have been pretty awful. Lose the grandma colors...Sorry.

Lightweight & warm with style!

Bought the storm blue & magenta accents version. I like the zippered big hand pockets and ample sized internal zippered chest pocket.

A waist and hood cinch are thoughtfully placed and round out the great features of this solid staple of a hoody from your environmentally conscious friends at Patagonia. KUDOS!

Active Fit

I was worried about the fit based on other reviews, but find this hoody fits similar to my L Nano Puff jackets in the shoulders and bust, and similar to my L Better Sweater in the hips.

Significant fit issues

The fit is so off with this jacket it's almost offensive. I'm between a Small and Medium depending on the product, and since I wanted to layer under this jacket, I went up to a Medium. The jacket is comfortably/appropriately roomy up top, but then things get really weird as you go down. It's suuuper long in the arms (they hit at my f... Read Moreingertips), and real snug around the hips such that there's no chance I'm comfortably layering under this thing. I'm petite and in shape with a super normal hourglass body type, so if the fit is this weird for me, I can't imagine this fitting comfortably for most other estrogen'd folks out there. Definitely not an inclusive fit for body shapes that aren't straight. Also, the Black color looks more like Navy Blue which was another fun surprise. Big oops on this one!

Great every day winter coat for Colorado winters

I love this coat and get tons of compliments on it. I bought it for everyday wear, taking my kids to school, walking the dog in the Colorado winter. Except for snow days, our winters are pretty mild and this coat does the trick. Taking one start off just because the high collar is a little annoying, but I wanted a jacket with a hood.

feels like I am wearing a sweater more than a jacket

Love this jacket, super warm. I bought the XS and it is a little roomy especially in the arms. Once the jacket gets warm inside, it stays at a warm operating temperature and I never want to take it off.

Like many have said before, this new design isn't flattering for women with hips

I traded in my very old jacket of the same model recently, assuming the new redesign would fit somewhat similar. I was originally a M, but the new M was not flattery to my hip. As an active women who doesn't have any issues with being slightly curvy, I was disappointed in this redesign.

so comfy and warm!

This is a great jacket, super warm and light! It is fun to wear because it's like wearing a sleeping bag. The hood is key, and is perfect for running outside for something without a hat.... The size allows for a layer underneath if necessary, but if not, it's still incredibly warm and comfy.

Its not a comfortable fit. I wont be keeping this jacket and I hope Patagonia can get a redesign right next year.

Amazing Jacket

I love this jacket. It has gotten cold here in far Northern California. Hiked in the snow yesterday, and didnt need the many layers that I would have ordinarily had to wear. I love that it doesn't feel the least bit restrictive, but provides the warmth I need for these fall hikes.

Amazingly warm yet ultralight!

Awesome color, super great fit that allows for perfect layering. Just a super solid jacket that lets you do more outside.

My second!

I love this jacket, had an older version, love that this can fold into the pocket

Changed Design

I have owned several of these. The medium was tight in the hips and the large was huge. It is very disappointing.

Very warm

I'm always cold but with this sweater/jacket I stay warm I side or outside.

Runs small

I am a solid Medium in most brands and find that Patagonia tops run small across the board. The issue I found with this jacket is that it is very narrow around the waist and hips(and I have narrow hips!). I tried to size up to a large and the large was way too big. I am 39 at the hips and 31 in the waist and I would not be able to wear suitable lay... Read Moreers under this jacket for use during hiking/camping/winter sports. I tried on a mens med and it fit more tts but still wasn't right. Unfortunately I had to opt for a puffy from a different brand.

Perfect mid layer

I originally ordered a size small, thats what size I wear in the nano puff. The down sweater hoodie is slightly longer however, so I had to size up so it wouldnt fit tight around my hips. The size small also fit snug around the chest. Had this of not been a down type jacket, the fit would be fine, but to benefit from the warmth, I sized up allowing... Read More the jacket to be comfortably loose. The material is soft and comfortable. Its perfect for PNW 35-65F temps. The hood tucks nicely around your neck when you have the jacket zipped all the way up, and arent utilizing the hood. The outside pockets are nice and large, wish more pocket room inside the jacket. The small elastic cuffs are nice, but could be tighter. They would work well if wearing small gloves. I essentially wear this down hoodie from sun up to sun down, even in my house. Ive taken several naps in it, as it gives me the comfort of being in a nice sleeping bag. I would recommend this hoodie!

Love this jacket!

I really love this jacket. The material is so smooth, soft, and comfy. It is incredibly warm. This is my first down jacket. I appreciate it is made out of recycled materials and contains responsible down. The only negative I have, which is not a huge factor, is that the feathers of the down sometimes poke out of the outer material on the inside of ... Read Morethe sleeves. I have felt them poke my arms when wearing a t-shirt instead of a long-sleeve. I like that the jacket can be folded into the pocket for easy storage during travel. I received a couple of patches along with the jacket in case of any tears or holes, which is so great and makes it easy to repair if need be! Overall awesome jacket!

Hi Aries, thank you for submitting this review. We're happy you're pleased with your Down Sweater Hoody! The quills from down feathers can sometimes poke out through the fabric. You may be able to keep them intact by pulling them back into the baffle from the other side, and then firmly rubbing the fabric with your thumbs to “heal” any hole that has formed. Please let us know if we can be of any help!

YES! Warm & Lightweight!!

Could the Down Sweater get any better? Yep. Warmer, and so light. And the shell made from recycled fishing nets? Very cool. I'm super impressed with the quality and if it is like any other Patagonia things I own, it will be my Winter companion for many years. Re. fit, it seems a bit more fitted through the hips than prior Down Sweaters. Would ... Read Morelove if it came in other neutrals like Feather Grey.

Runs small

I wear a large in most tops. I ordered an XL to have room for a sweater turtleneck underneath. The XL ran very small, especially in the hip area.

Now runs smaller

This would have been my second down sweater. I loved my first but the seams wore out after years of use. I purchased my next down sweater last month and was sad to find that the small no longer fit my waistline (which has actually gotten a few pounds smaller over the last few years) although it still fit my shoulders and arm length. The design has ... Read Morebeen changed for a slimmer body type. I tried the medium and was swimming in it. I absolutely love Patagonias products but can hang with this seasons design of the down sweater.

Love the revision / feels lighter and smoother

I LOVE the new down sweater hoodie. It feels lighter weight and the fabric feels smoother than the old version. The fit is really nice and flattering. I also love that it is more environmentally responsible: 100% net plus recycled shell and 100% responsible down. Those features are very important to me when I am shopping. The fit is different and r... Read Moreuns smaller. I needed to buy a size bigger than the old one. Overall, love it!

Perfect for the -ber months

This jacket is so perfect for the chilly winters! It gets really warm, but is light weight. Im usually in between sizes (m/l) and chose a large because the medium was a little snug in my hip area.

Blah color and cut of coat

I bought a womens down sweater hoody in 2012 and loved its vibrant magenta extérieur/emerald green intérieur color combination. Last fall, it and a host of other things in my backpack were stolen from my car. Last fall all the colors were faded, or unoriginal or wouldnt be helpful for being noticed when cycling/hiking/outdoors in winter. I checked... Read More the site nearly everyday in hopes the fall 2022 line would be different, and bought the red sequoia color. Unfortunately it too was this faded out, nothing shade and worse yet, the cut of the coat changed: once a boxier, long torso and now a short-waisted and snug fit. So, no room for a wool sweater to layer. Really disappointed as I love everything Patagonia, however I chose a different brand with a vibrant color for down coat.
