Layer it when chasing spring corn, or wear it alone on cool desert nights. Durable, lightweight double-faced polyester fleece (85% recycled) is just enough to keep the chill out. With zippered handwarmer pockets and elasticized armholes and hem. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Material

Recycled Polyester
We recycle used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.

Technology

At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.

  • The Good:

    85% recycled content reduces our dependancy on nonrenewable resources. The North American supply chain keeps the production geographically close. And the Synchilla Vest is recyclable through our Common Threads Garment Recycling Program.

  • The Bad:

    Truck travel incurs higher emissions than other transport. Because trucks are used throughout this supply chain, the emissions are higher than for some products coming across the ocean by ship.

  • What We Think:

    Though a supply chain that is geographically close is intuitively better, it is not always the case environmentally.
