Love it and ordered another!

By doctorsirena Ranked #2269 - Women's Fleece Jackets January 29, 2009

This jacket is so soft and cozy - it is like wearing a teddy bear. I have been wearing it as a top layer to keep warm around the house and at work, where the thermostats have been turned down to save energy. I have been living in this to survive our cold midwest winter. I would not say that this jacket is suitable for outdoor wear during a midwest winter. It would be fine for fall or late spring outdoor wear. But I most love it for wearing indoors as a substitute for a fleece or cardigan sweater.

I like the style since it is kind of different, with the wrap front. It is quite dressy (for Patagonia or any other outdoor clothing company), even though it is a hoodie, and is a great alternative to fleece. It is suitable for my workplace, where I feel wearing a standard fleece jacket/sweater would be too casual.

The buttons are in the right spots and I like the top button to put the fabric closer to my neck for warmth - the hood can be sort of bunched up in back for more of a cowl look. The hood is a nice size, not too large or heavy.

The fabric is a nice weight, fairly thick but still lightweight. The Olallaberry color is a nice wine color. See my comments in the question below for sizing recommendation.

I like this jacket so much that I ordered another in a different color.
