Zip up your Patagonia Women's Retro-X Jacket and go to the mountains. The slim-fitting Retro-X features a windproof barrier sandwiched between recycled polyester fleece and a moisture-wicking lining, so you stay warm and dry when you climb or Nordic ski. Nylon side panels reduce bulk for easy layering. Y-Joint sleeves mean this Patagonia jacket won't ride up when you reach for that bomber handhold or plant your ski pole.
Bottom Line: Stay warm in the backcountry in your windproof, wicking Patagonia Retro-X.
This is a great fleece: it's genuinely warm, it's fitted (due to the stretchy panels on the sides) yet night too tight, and it's durable. As soon as I tried this one I knew my other fleeces would be relegated to the second string. I'm not sure this runs small, it's just a neater fit than a lot of fleeces. I'm 5'7'', 135 and usually wear a medium, and I wear a medium in this. If I had a quibble, it might be that it's a tiny bit short, but other than that the sizing has never been an issue. I would definitely buy this again.
Emily, depends what you're looking for... The Retro-X is a very warm windproof fleece. And the R2 is a lightweight piece with more of a technical background, designed to be warm, compressible, and lightweight. Both are great to layer and super comfortable and long lasting fleece.
This is a great jacket. It not only fits great (true to size), but also looks nice. It's windproof and light, and does not show dirt much at all which is important to me with twin toddlers. This is a must have jacket !
i have never been able to try this fleece on and am wondering what size to get. i am 5'1", 110lbs, and have C/D cups. i have an R2 jacket in XS but have found it is snug in the chest and should have gotten a S. do the retro x jackets run small too? should i order a M?
I don't think you need to go as big as a medium for sure, small might be the ticket for you though. The Retro X and the R2 are both slim fit, but the R2 is slightly slimmer so you'll have more room w/ the Retro X.
Got the black as a gift for my wife and she loved it so much she went and bought another in brown. Inside is kind of rough, not as soft as I thought it would be. She always wears a large and this jacket was no different. This is her go to jacket for the winter in Utah.
This jacket really works! It was 7 degrees the other morning, with an additional windchill, and I decided to put it to the test. I took my dogs for their morning walk, and was not a bit cold in my upper body, and I was only wearing a light fleece shirt underneath the jacket. My legs, on the other hand, were completely numb. Facing north I didn't feel the wind at all through the jacket. Make sure to keep the pockets zipped, otherwise you will feel the wind seeping in. I think it runs small, I ordered a large instead of a medium, and it fits perfectly.
windproof and looks totally cool. it runs true to size, but it is a slim fit - which i happen to like. definitely warm and way windproof - so you can get away with wearing fewer layers underneath
Warm as a lamb's fleece. The jacket is light, flexible and windproof. Comfy ... and dog hair does not stick like it does to smoother fleece. So warm you can skip the midlayer you would need with a hardshell.
Great Jacket for mild/moderate conditions. Jacket runs tight in the chest, so i would recommend that you go up a size. (I wear a medium in the North Face Denali, and i got a medium in this but the chest is snug). Its probably best to order two sizes and decide between the two.
Where do I start. This jacket has sleeves and a body length that are actually long enough, but cut slim enough for long and lean ladies. It is the warmest fleece I've ever owned. I downhill ski and am always freezing, but this baby kept me nice and toasty. I own it in the light tan color and get compliments on it all the time. Patagonia is the BEST.
The jacket looks great. I like it's coffee and milk color (goes with any color), it is form fitting and true to size. However, it is not as warm as I had expected, then again, I am cold natured. Got it for a great price so I cannot complain.
I just got this fleece and I love it! It's warm and fits really well. (I always get a M in Patagonia tops and this fits perfect!). Mine is the Olallaberry color and it's really cute! Definitely recommend this fleece.
