I have 4 Better Sweaters and this one is my favorite now because it fits perfectly. The small is a true to fit size with a stylish curve.

It's a high-quality fleece with a nice design, the perfect mid-layer for ski/snowboarding or other winter outdoor sports.

Warm and stylish fleece

- Size Bought:
- L
Bought the hazy purple in a L as a gift for my mom. The sizing is a bit on the smaller side as she would normally be a borderline M/L, but the fit is perfect. The material is so soft, and it makes for a great midlayer under a heavier jacket for winter walks or hikes. Beautiful design, and works well on its own for cool fall or mild winter days.

Great color and warmth. But it was a tight fit. I bought these as a gift for someone who wears either a S or a M. I got a M. Could’ve done with a L in these. Patagonia sizes are so weird.

I so wanted to like this sweater, but never really found the correct size. Medium was tightin chest, but large had an oversized look. Went with the medium, but it never was comfortable. Also the collar was very itchy, and each time I wore it I got a rash on my chin area. I ended up selling it back to Patagonia. Despite them calling it “ like new “ condition, I received about 1/3 of what I paid for it. Sorry I wasted my money on it. I feel unless you’re tall and thin( no curves at all ) Patagonia clothing does not fit women correctly. I’ve given up on this brand.

Bought this for an August trip to Alaska, and it was a perfect layer for the varying temps. Thin enough to wear under a jacket when it was cold but thick enough to wear over a shirt on milder days.

COZY AND WARM
Great sweater. Very comfortable and warm. Runs a little small so if between sizes go up a size.

Overrated and runs small

I've been pining for a better sweater fleece from Patagonia for some time. Finally received one but honestly I'm really underwhelmed by it. It is made well and the quality is good. However, it runs small and is very form fitting. Normally I don't mind a form fitting piece but with this one I barely have room to wear anything but a tank top underneath. I am 5'7" 140lbs with an athletic type build and wear a medium in most things. The medium fits more like a small or even an XS. I'm also really underwhelmed with the color...I got the birch white and it is so drab. There is truly nothing special about this piece beside the Patagonia label. I will be returning it.
