Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket (Women's) Black / L
Warm, 100% recycled polyester fleece in a full-zip jacket dyed with a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of dyestuffs, energy and water compared to conventional dyeing methods. Fair Trade Certified sewn. The easy-care Better Sweater Jacket has a wool-knit face, soft fleece interior and retains its shape and natural good looks after multiple washings. The 100% recycled polyester fabric is spun from heathered yarns and dyed with a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of dyestuffs, energy and water compared to conventional dyeing methods. The full-front zip ends in a stand-up collar and zipper garage to prevent chafing at the chin. Front forward seams and rear princess seams deliver a flattering contoured shape that layers easily. Soft brushed tricot (100% recycled polyester) trims the wind flap, cuffs, hem and pockets, which include zippered handwarmers, two interior drop-ins and a zippered left-sleeve pocket. Fair Trade Certified sewn.

The quality of the jacket is solid. It will keep you warm in 48-50 degree F weather. Pockets are spacious and that is greatly appreciated on a women's jacket. I took two stars off because the fit of the jacket has changed. I bought this jacket around 3 years ago. I got this jacket again for Christmas 2022. The fit is a lot tighter around the arms, shoulder, and chest. I have no idea why the product's size proportions have been changed because it is terrible. Compared to my older better sweater; the fit on that one is a lot better.I still recommend this jacket but please size up from your usual fit.

Love this sooo much, ordered the abalone blue in Large, which I didn't know was being discontinued. I buy something every black friday, but this beautiful color, seems to be going away? Also, where did the gorgeous hazy purple color go? Would love a mid grey as well, like the mens stonewash and nickel, cooler/jewel color tones, rather than the browns/green, look better on some of us.As for fit, it is a slim fit, but for me only in the arms. I ordered a large, I am a size 10/12, but even in just a tank top, it was sooooo tight in the arms. It is long enough, mid section was fine, but doesn't allow for much movement and doesn't have much stretch, so I super reluctantly returned the Large, so sad. Of course, XL is always out of stock, because everyone is sizing up? ... MoreLove this sooo much, ordered the abalone blue in Large, which I didn't know was being discontinued.

Love better sweater! Wish the hoodie version had more colors too. Thank you!

I don't understand all of the complaints about sizing. Unless you are looking for a super relaxed style fit (which wouldn't be as warm) or normally buy from companies that inflate their sizes, this is absolutely true to size and the size chart. I think the sleeves are a good length as well. This sweater is super comfortable, warm. I got the "birch white" and it is true to the color on the website. This item will be a new cold weather staple for me. If you prefer a more relaxed fit try Columbia or LL Bean who make similar products with roomier cuts. I like the full zip version of this better than the T-zip which I also have. On my T-zip, the sleeves are too short and on this one they are just right. The sweater is designed to have a slimmer profile which helps make ... MoreI don't understand all of the complaints about sizing.

The fit is great and the jacket is long enough in the torso and the sleeves for me. Win! Nice and warm and breaks the wind just enough while boating and fishing. I purchased the navy which seems to be a good neutral. However that’s where the love affair ends. This jacket is pilling after three short wears. The underside of the arms are a mess! The sides and front of the pocket aren’t much better. I’m very disappointed in the quality of this garment and for the price you certainly wouldn’t expect that. And Patagonia should strive to do better. Let’s not just talk about reducing waste, let’s make a quality that lasts. One of the care instructions suggested turning the garment inside out to reduce friction….. really? Are we supposed to wear garment inside out? Is it ... MoreThe fit is great and the jacket is long enough in the torso and the sleeves for me. Win! Nice and warm and breaks the wind just enough while boating and fishing.

First let me say Patagonia customer service is hands down the best I have ever dealt with. There was a shipping error with my repair and a new jacket was sent to me to replace my old one that was lost in transit. I am happy to have the new jacket but there have been changes in the quality and not for the better. The jacket still fits nicely and the inner fleece is soft. However, the zipper pulls are not as heavy duty. The outside material is also not nearly as soft. I will be transparent and say my older better sweaters are over 10 years old and really do not show much wear. However, they probably were not made with as many recycled products. I am happy to know the jackets are made by a greener process now but wish it wasn't at the cost of comfort. I will wear this ... MoreFirst let me say Patagonia customer service is hands down the best I have ever dealt with.

The better sweater is a perfect sweater for all areas that sweaters are needed. I have been shopping REI as a member for several years and have purchased numerous sweaters. My wife and I both really love these sweaters. Full zip up and comfortable fitted for all activities. You can dress these up or down depending on where you’re going. My wife is in the medical field and the hospital has a way of making sure they keep the temperature down and she can match the color option or code to her scrubs. During the outbreak of COVID she was working double shifts so 24 hours with this sweater on and every night she would throw it in the wash and they all still look new. Very durable and great looking, enjoy
I bought this sweater jacket because it is the trendy jacket to wear around the hospital and I have been looking for a warm, middle weight jacket that I can wear indoors and outdoors. This jacket does not disappoint! Since it arrived, I have worn it almost every day. It is great for outdoor wear around town during the Northeast fall, but is streamlined enough that I can throw a shell over top of it if needed, and yet is un-jacket-ish enough that I can keep wearing it indoors like I would a sweater. I love the blue color, the pocket placement, and the trim over the cuffs. The zipper on the collar does not rub, like some fleeces tend to do. I do not plan to wear it for hiking, since I prefer a traditional fleece for that to avoid snags, but it is fantastic to wear ... MoreI bought this sweater jacket because it is the trendy jacket to wear around the hospital and I have been looking for a warm, middle weight jacket that I can wear indoors and outdoors.

I'm a huge Better Sweater fan. I have three that I have worn for years, Two are medium and one is a large. I tried for a new one this year but found the sizing inconsistent. The mediums that I tried were much too small, even though my older mediums are a perfect fit. I tried a large on in a store and it was a good fit so I ordered one online but the arms were too tight and I had to return it. I ended up getting one from the store and for some reason I cant wear it all day like I can wear my older ones. Im having some kind of irritation/itching after I have it on for a while. Im wondering if the materials in the new ones are different than the older ones? Ive washed it and continue to wear it for short periods because I really like it. If it continues to bother me ... MoreI'm a huge Better Sweater fan. I have three that I have worn for years, Two are medium and one is a large.

I've spent way more time than I'd like dealing with all the pilling that comes with this sweater. By the third or fourth time I wore it, it was covered in pills. A sweater stone did remove them, but now the sweater is covered in the stray threads that the pills were stuck to. It looks awful. Maybe my expectations are unreasonable, but when I dropped what Patagonia charges for this sweater, I expected it would hold up and continuously look nice, NOT create a ton of work and still look sloppy. I've read that the pills are temporary to the new garment, but this has been going on for over a year, despite following care instructions carefully (gentle cycle, by itself, no dryer, etc). Disappointing given what I paid for this sweater.
A substantial sweater that to me didn’t look like it would feel as warm and cozy as it does even right against the skin. I am usually a small in Patagonia tops and jackets but definitely needed a medium through shoulders and hips. Hips in the medium gave me only a bit of room. I’m 34-28-37 body measure. I wasn’t looking for it to be an outer layer so the med was perfect. I would have had to go up a size otherwise. I had a chance to try on the Large but I was swimming in it! I Think there is a bit of room for a revisit to overall sizing considerations for Patagonia with this sweater moving forward. The sleev.es were too long but one foldup for me works well. I don’t mind the interior fleece look at the wrist. I haven’t tested it outdoors yet in sport but with the ... MoreA substantial sweater that to me didn’t look like it would feel as warm and cozy as it does even right against the skin.

I don’t mind the interior fleece look at the wrist. I haven’t tested it outdoors yet in sport but with the cold weather beginning to approach now in November it’s already been a go to comfy/warm sweater here in central Canada indoors without the wood stove started up. I love the light gray(birch) colour but current blue won me over. I have ended up liking the sweater a lot more than anticipated because I found the right fit. I would definitely recommend trying it on in store if you can. Hopefully this review will be helpful if that’s not an option. Love the 1/4 zipper front and the zipper pocket in the upper sleeve. I don’t like to wear my phone but the upper sleeve pocket looks plenty big for that. It’s turned out to be an overall great choice for me!
