I bought this for my boyfriend (5'9") and he loves it! It fits great and looks wonderful and is helping him stay warm this winter in Chicago. Definitely recommend
This was purchased for me as a gift. I really like it. Ill use it for doing yard work and woodworking when Im chilly and need some warmth, but dont need my arms constricted.
Patagonia was super willing to work with me when my jacket was delivered to the wrong apartment building. Not a fan of their shipping company for that reason, but anyway I was able to find my jacket and it fits great looks great and feels great to wear. Great product
This vest is replacing a no name brand I found at a local retail store. I've had the other one for at least 4 year's now and definitely needed replacement. The problem was that brand had discontinued making this vest. Patagonia to the rescue. I live my new vest and feel good about the environmental impact. Part of my work includes being o... Read Moreut in the field and with mobile work applications on my phone I needed to more than ever have easy access. I have a rugged case and belt clip due to the nature of my work but accessing my phone was a bit difficult due to the fit of the vest. Solution; I took my vest to a seamstress and she added a 6" zipper down the right side of the vest. Now accessing my phone in the field is super easy. Thanks for the great product. I will definitely be forever customer.
I recently ordered a Better Sweater vest to go with several other Better Sweater products I own. This product line is affordable and stylish. I get compliments every time I wear this vest. I have found the line to have good warmth as well. I have been a Patagonia customer for over 35 years.
My office can get a bit cold and this vest looks great with a collared shirt, so its all win. The material and fit is great, if youre looking for a versatile vest, this is your one.
Perfect vest for all seasons. I was traveling for work without the right cold-weather gear and bought a second Better Sweater Vest. Now, I have one permanently packed for the stream and one for the other 50% of my time.
Hi Juan, we're sorry to hear this ended up being too small! If you need any help returning that vest, don't hesitate to reach out to our [customer service team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/). We're also always happy to email you any item's measurements chart so you can feel more confident about your next purchase.

High Quality and Good Value
This vest is functional and looks good. It runs a wee bit big but fits well over a sweater or thick shirt. It is well worth the price.
Purple, slim fit, slightly heathered vest looks great and is warm but not too warm. Perfect for temps in the mid 50's - mid 60's and great for layering, as well. I normally wait for Web Specials but when I saw this vest in purple I snapped in up in a jiffy! I already had the blue which is slightly heathered, too. Highly recommended like a...

The vest is everything as advertised. Fits at the shoulders and long enough to cover my lower back and more. As a senior citizen with RA I find the zipper is easy to use.
This vest is so conformable and really is true to the size. I am able to wear it everywhere that I go and it's super warm. Very happy with overall quality, production and appearance!! I may have to buy another color....
Great all purpose vest for work or casual wear and even the outdoors. Very versatile with multiple uses and the ability to dress it up or down. Well worth the price.
I bought this for my husbands birthday and he has been wearing it everyday! He loves the comfort and the warmth as the days get colder and find the pockets very practical.
I typically wear a Large, the Medium fits me a little tight, but I didn't want it to be baggy at all.
Love this vest, it's exactly what i was hoping to get from patagonia. something that feels like it will last a really long time and i can spill coffee or pizza on it and not be too worried about getting it out. It's a fantastic Ves... Read Moret i plan on wearing for forever.
This vest is perfect for keeping my chest warm on cool days. I wear it with a long sleeve shirt or long sleeve tee.
It's also perfect when playing golf giving my arms and shoulders the freedom to swing the club.
I love it so much I'm ordering another one today in a different color.
I wear this vest all the time when it is chilly, it is casual but can definitely be worn out. I had the original sweater fleece vest, so I highly recommend this product.
I already had this vest and ordered the same size but in a different color but found out from Patagonia that they changed the cut of the vest to a larger size.Had to send it back.
Hello Albert, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry the fit did not work out in the current version of the vest. We did make some adjustments to the cut, along with new fabric in 100% Recycled Polyester Sweater-Knit Fleece.

Verywarm
Great vest however it runs a little small. I tried on a large and it was too big. Very warm and great quality.
After trying many options through the years, MBS vest remains the top dog. Combination of weight, fit, versatility and durability through washings(No pilling/shrinkage)are best in class. More color options is my only gripe. Please dont get cute changing manufacturers or overthinking a classic!
I've worn many vests, but no vest is like this one. This is superior in every way: Build, color, warmth, and makes you look cool. With the PataGucci vest on I feel I can take over the world and that is priceless. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
This vest is just wonderful. As we know from Patagonia the quality and feeling of the product is great, warm, perfect fit, smooth and design amazingly cool. I wear it in the office, with my kids on the playground, in the skatepark, and also just at home. I feel I need one more ;)
At first, I wondered why all of these analysts at my firm were wearing these. I ended up being sucked into purchasing one of these vests due to having meetings with higher-up staff members who consistently wears these. Now, I feel like I can confidently write macros and call them AI without remorse. The fitting is great, and now the baristas at Sta... Read Morerbucks seem to now remember my name because I look important. Great buy, life changing!
Despite issues with UPS delivering the package, when the best finally arrived it was excellent. Very warm, good fit, well made, nice material. May buy in another colour...
See what I did there? Anyway, I am always cold from November through March (Northern Indiana). I usually walk around the house in a hoodie. I thought this vest would be a great way to stay warm while getting some freedom of movement back. I was right. The weight is perfect! The fit and finish is great too. I have no regrets. I wish I could have cau... Read Moreght it on sale, but I take care of my gear so I plan to have it for a while. The black vest might not be the best choice if you have a dog with anything but black hair. Make sure you have rollers handy.
I was looking for a light vest to wear in the California winter weather and already had the Better Sweater which has become a good friend . The Better Sweater Vest did not disappoint and was exactly the weight I was looking for.
My boyfriend is tall and thin, and this vest fits great! Definitely better for thinner body types, if you are between sizes it is good to size up. My boyfriend has barely taken the vest off since opening it on Christmas :)
My husband was eyeing the Patagonia vest for the past year. I was unable to find his size in the store, so I went to your website placed my order and 2 days later it was delivered to my door in time for Christmas! He's been wearing every day since Christmas.
Thank you for an easy and convenient shopping experience.
The young women really liked the quality and style-but the cut was smaller than the Mediums they normally wear. This was disappointing, as they had wanted to wear a tank or t-shirt underneath.
We are sorry to hear that fit was a little snug on this. If you'd like to [exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) this for a larger size, please feel free to do so. Thanks for the feedback!
I have a Better Sweater vest and performance hoody. I love both. The knit weave is soft, comfortable, and more “formal” looking than plain fleece (like a sweater). They are very breathable, but on the flipside not wind resistant. I just wish they weren’t so expensive, otherwise I would get multiple in different colors.
Called customer service to make the exchanges and the process could not have been easier. The service agents that I spoke to were upbeat and very helpful. Will continue to make Patagonia my number one choice for purchasing family gifts!
Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend , fits great and is super comfy. Plus I love Patagonia’s values and dedication to their employees and the environment. Will always shop with them
Last year, we bought Better Sweater Vests for everyone in our family. We live in cold climate areas and the vest is a great layering piece that always looks good. My husband wears his so much that I got him another one for Christmas this year.
I will admit, I stand outside the mainstream as many reviewers said this vest was a little on the losser side. But I have been buying Patagonia vests for years and find both the nano puff and this better sweater vest are much smaller than they were three or four years ago. I measuered one of my 5 year old nano puff vests and it measuered 23 inches ... Read Morewide just just under the arms. I stopped buying nano puff vests because the large was too tight in recent years. Hoping this Better Sweater vest would have the old fit of the Nano Puff, I took a chance. This vest is 21and 1/2 inches under the arms - a full 1 and 1/2 inches narrower than my old Nano Puffs. I would not care if the vest was relabelled as a narrow fit, but it is marked as a regular fit. My question: I buy ALL my Patagonia jackets in a large and there is ample room. Why did you crop 1.5 inches off the width of your vests and still label them as a “regular” fit? I think I would be swimming in the XL as I don’t have wide shoulders - so going up one size is not an option.
I'm 5'7, but I have wide shoulders/big chest. This often means I have to size up and tailor sleeves. This is a vest so I don't have to worry about that. Comfy and looks nice, although it runs rather long. I like it.
I work a job where I am both in the office and outside. This vest is the perfect mix of both. It looks good with a dress shirt in the office and great with a flannel outside! I currently have the stonewash, black, and just purchased the navy.
Rattle texture. Ordered xxl so it would be loose. But it was 2 sizes too small. Very disappointing for Patagonia. I wanted to become a frequent buyer. Did the same for my husband his was loose and perfect!
I bought this for my boyfriend who tends to run on the warm side. He said this vest keeps him nice and warm on chilly days. This vest can be worn as casual or dressy attire. The material is of great quality!
There is no better fleece product(s) on the market. Retains its warmth and softness after several washes. Enjoy the various designs offered. My number one and only choice.
I have many colors of the Better Sweater 1/4 zip pullover for daily wear. This is the first vest I have tried. It’s very warm under a jacket or nice with a long sleeve shirt on days when it not too cold. Patagonia quality as always, it should last for years.
I ordered 2 sweater vests at the same time. I have another Patagonia vest and it is great... love it. It is size Large. I ordered 2 size Larges. The blue one fits fine (a little snug but ok). The grey one is so tight I cant wear it. And I already ripped the tags off so I am stuck with a $100 vest I cant wear. I wanted to order another vest (differe... Read Morent style) but am afraid it wont fit right and dont want to waste the money.
Is it possible to exchange the grey sweater vest for an XL even though i removed the sale tag?
Thanks

I was absolutely amazed at
I was absolutely amazed at the construction fit and features of this vest. It is such a great and functional under layer or just by itself.
I feel like it's a little big, and the collar pushed into my chin. But I also think a medium would be too small for me so I am going to keep the large.
It is a great vest and everything I expected, having owned the sleeved versions for while now. The chest pocket is my favorite part for my work phone. As I am a bit athletic, I only wish there was a little taper at the waist.
