I returned a Synchilla snap T pullover and chose this instead and am happy with the switch. The snap T felt bulky even in an extra S and was not as soft and cozy as this one. Also, the snap T synchilla didn't have pockets. The shape and fit of this fleece worked better for me. It's roomy, but not baggy. I wear it alone on warmer days, und...

Love this fleece. Its my second retool snap t pullover because I loved the first one so much! Love that they changed the hip seam so it lies flat, way more flattering fit now compared to the old style. My cat loves snuggling in it too!
I recently ordered one of these pullovers and they are fantastic! I frequently wear it while walking my dogs and it keeps me nice and warm on chilly Alaska evenings!
Got this for my wife she said it was snug but cozy. Very soft and warm. She loves that she can wear when relaxing casual or a little more dressy. Looks fantastic
I have three of these! Theyre that great. Recently, Patagonia redid their sizing as Ive always been a medium, but this time had to reorder a small, which is how the medium used to fit, but they are offering free exchanges. Same quality as expected. Great layering piece. I live in them!
I have a couple of the Re-Tool fleeces and i like the new color schemes which seem to be a bit more modern than past. The fit is slim so after COVID i bought a Medium instead of my usual small. Good choice as it is fitted.
I really like this sweatshirt, it's warm and soft but it's a little bigger than I had expected. I tend to like my sweatshirts fitted though so if you're just looking for a regular fit this is probably fine. It's a little longer than I had expected too.

Love the Kangaroo pouch pocket too.
Love this fleece. So cozy for Fall nights on the ocean and early morning hikes. Im usually a small in Patagonia but would recommend sizing up in this if you want room to layer.
I have a few of these pullovers and love them. Tried a Medium this time because large sizing is 10-12. I am normally a 6. The medium is way too snug. Just uncomfortable. Back to the Large.
I bought this for my daughter in law. It runs small but otherwise looks great! I bought this a couple of sizes larger than she normally wears and the larger size looks great.
I love this fleece, itll be a staple this winter. It fits great (doesnt cling anywhere like some fleece do) and is long enough. The collar kind of sticks up, but I think with wear it will lay down.
I bought this pullover on a whim after purchasing other Patagonia products and it did not disappoint! The colors are true to the pictures and the fit is perfect for me. I am able to wear a T- Shirt or even long sleeve shirt under it easily. Im excited for cooler weather to be able to wear this even more!
Great to wear during the cold summer nights and perfect for any winter skiing or snowboarding. The quality is worth the money and the lifetime of the product is outstanding.
I ordered the grey and coral colored fleece and I am in love! It manages to feel extremely soft and warm while not being bulky. I'm so excited to wear this around the campfire or on chilly morning/evening walks as fall gets close.
I have a weird body that mostly fits in smalls but sometimes fits better in mediums so I was wary about the sizi... Read Moreng. Initially I was going to order a small but after reading reviews a lot of folks were saying these fleece sweaters run a little snug so I sized up to a medium. That was a good call! I'm 5'0 and 130 pounds and the medium is comfortably roomy so I can wear a few layers underneath. If I preferred a slim/more form-fitting fleece I feel like I could have still ordered a small but I like a little room in my sweaters unless they are a base layer.
Absolutely love this fleece & it washes/dries so well unlike some other fleeces. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because like many Patagonia products, the sleeves run short which can be unideal in the cold weather months.
Patagonia fleeces are known for being super warm, so I'm kind of disappointed that this didn't meet my expectations. The abdominal area is lined with mesh and the arms are lined with fleece. I did read that the material is thinner due to increased recycled materials, but I didn't know that could have an impact on the warmth? Also the...

Hi Joyce, thank you so much for your feed back on the fit and warmth of the Women's Re-Tool Snap-T® Fleece Pullover. You might find that the [Women's Los Gatos 1/4-Zip Fleece](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-los-gatos-quarter-zip-fleece/25235.html?dwvar_25235_color=BURR&cgid=collection-high-pile-fleece-womens) will keep you warmer but still have that fluffy fleece feel.

Please bring back the full zip!
I have this fleece in the full zip version and love it! It is really warm and comfortable. I'm sad to see that you haven't brought the full zip version back this season. While I like a pullover, I like to wear this to work in the fall/spring and pulling something over my head isn't ideal. I hope you consider bringing it back again!
I love the Re-Tool fleece pullovers, and purchase a new one every year or so. I wear them all the time for work, hiking, snow shoeing, etc. My only complaint about the purchase is that the color is not true to the color shown. I bought the Elwood green that looks more sage on the website, but its more of a dark sea foam.
I love this fleece. Its super comfy and soft and I have pretty much lived in it since it arrived. I do wish it were a little bit more wind resistant, but otherwise, Im really pleased with this purchase!
This sweater seemed like it was half as thick as my other re-tool pullover. I wanted something earlier, so I sent it back. The color was pretty, though!
I bought this jacket in the feather grey. The cut of this fleece is fitted. I golfed 9 holes in a misty rain and this fleece kept me warm and dry. Its not constricting and allows me to move comfortably. This fleece has replaced almost every sweater and spring jacket that I own.
I love these Re-tool Fleece Pullovers! This is about the fifth one I've bought! These are the perfect amount of warmth and comfort! I love the hand warmer kangaroo pouch too! So many beautiful colors to choose from! You can't go wrong with these!
My favorite Patagonia Ive had!!! I ordered a Large since the last one I owned was a little snug and a Medium. So much more comfortable!! Recommend sizing up!!
I'm also a tall lady (5'9") so buying online is always uncertain. I was a small in their jacks so I thought a small would fit as nicely. It's a little snug, which is fine. But I am sort of curious if the medium would have fit better.

I live in this fleece!
Possibly my favorite item I own, not just from Patagonia, but out of everything I own I wear this the most. It is so comfortable/cozy, and it fits just right. I want one in every color.
Super soft, comfortable fleece for everyday wear. Love the roomy kangaroo pocket, which adds to the overall cozy feel. The top of the collar could be a touch softer (the corner of the snap element is fairly stiff), but otherwise I wouldn't change anything. Great selection of colors!
I bought one as a gift for my mom about two months ago, and she loved it so I decided by buy one for myself now. I was disappointed to find that my sweater is thinner and feels much less substantial than the one for my mom two months ago.

I purchased a new one, not realizing you had changed the kangaroo pocket, fit and the trim on the cuffs, bottom of the hem around the waist, and on the kangaroo pocket itself.

Comfortable Style
I like being cozy, but one of my biggest struggles in the pursuit of coziness is feeling like a slob.
This pullover was a surprising answer to that dilemma!
The texture is lovely, and the coloring is perfect. I chose Feather Grey - Ink Black X-Dye w/Light Balsamic. It is a classy feeling color while also promoting visual comfort with its lack of j... Read Moreump-out-at-you hues.
The kangaroo pocket actually fits a hot water bottle, but it also is a secure place for putting an iPhone with no fear of it falling out when you are moving about the house.
There is a top pocket where I put some keys once, and one of them somehow got lost inside the sweatshirt...I think perhaps it snuck through the mesh lining. I was able to get it out without difficulty once I realized where it was.
On the note of warmth, this pullover is somehow perfect. It is a little thick which naturally helps it hold in heat. But I felt like it really maintained my comfort level easily --almost instant warmth and lack of clammy overheating.
Bottom line: If you want to feel perfectly warm and comfortable while also feminine, this is a great choice.
I am 5'8" (with long arms to show for it) and 123lb.
Have worn these forever- seriously 25 years plus. Miss the thickness of old fleece. They were way warmer before. I could literally wear a tank and a re-tool and be comfortable for climbing- take jacket off when day warms up and put it on for hike out at dusk. This is way lighter and more vented with weave- I wouldnt have minded so much if it wouldv... Read Moree stated that in the description for those of us long term buyers that felt we knew what we were getting. Decided to keep it because I love the color and it was on sale. Shoulder width seems more narrow than previous versions For those of us with more muscular shoulder arms. My daughter is a swimmer and I think she would struggle with this cut. I like the feminine cut near the waist on new version though- the old ones seemed more boxy.
I bought this from the Fall 2019 collection and I am very disappointed with the style & design changes. The fleece is thinner. The cut & fit feels different too, having way too much room in the underarm area now. The cuffs & bottom hem no longer have that contrasting piping.

Durable, reliable fleece
I have two of the re-tool fleece and have not been disappointed. I brought one with me to work at the South Pole for 6 weeks and it not only kept me warm but it looks barely worn after 10 hour days, 6 day weeks working outside. The shoulders are still in great shape after having my bib straps rub on them every workday. The color is still vibrant. T... Read Morehe material is still consistent throughout. Both of my fleece have been worn on a variety of hiking and backpacking trips, and they have always been excellent for being outdoors on cooler days. Definitely recommend purchasing, you will not be disappointed.
This is my first fleece purchase from Patagonia and I couldn't be more pleased! This is the warmest, coziest thing I have ever put on my body and this is coming from a girl who throws back on her oversized sweatshirts and leggings the second I am able to. I know some other reviewers have said the material is not as thick or as warm as the olde... Read Morer version, but I am *almost* too warm wearing this without anything else underneath at around 60-65 degrees. And I am almost always cold! For reference, I am 5'1.5 112lbs w/ a slightly wider back from lifting and the XS fits perfectly. I usually like my sweatshirts a little oversized and almost bought a S, which would have been fine, but I'm glad I got the XS because having it fit right makes it even comfier. Might honestly buy another one right now!
I was disappointed with the quality of this pullover. I thought it would be regular fleece material but its kind of a velour material, not fleece. Also, like people have mentioned, the collar is very stiff and pokes my neck. Will try it out Bc I am tired of returning stuff. We will see.
New Re-Tool seems lower quality than previous versions
I didn't realize the Re-Tool design had changed, and I wasn't a fan of this iteration (I have four Re-Tools from over the last several years that I LOVE). The collar was stiff and wouldn't lay flat, and was shorter than years past so it didn't keep my neck as warm when buttoned up. The fleece seemed thinner and lower quality tha...

I ordered the raw linen color and absolutely love it!! I am 5’11” and 255, ordered the 2x, though this isn’t as slim fitting as the better sweater so I could probably get away with an xl.

Have been admiring this jacket for months and finally my mother in law got it for me for Christmas and I washed it for the first time and didn’t dry it I let it hung and it shrunk! So disappointed!
Hi Cassandra! Thanks for your feedback, and we're very sorry to hear that your pullover shrunk. It sounds like you followed the care instructions, so you are definitely welcome to send that item back for a [warranty return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).
I loved this pullover it's so warm and comfortable, I only wore a thank top under it because I knew it was going to be warm. It fit perfect amd got it in the mail after 2 days.
Fleece is soft and true to size, a bit fitted which made it more feminine-looking, got this for my mom for the holidays and she loved it! Great quality
Nice weight and fabric. This was a gift for my daughter. The size small looked too short in the length so I bought a medium. She’s petite, 5’2” and around 100 pounds. It’s a good fit. I would size up.
My daughter loves her pull-over.
I’m exceptionally grateful to the customer service department for everything they did to get the package delivered on Christmas Eve after what appears to be thievery on the Friday before.
I will be shopping with you again.
In a strange twist of events, the women's fleeces are actually much warmer than the men's. I bought both and am happier with the women's. Both solid purchases though.
This is my third Re-Tool Pullover. I buy one every time a color speaks to me. They are extremely comfortable, have kangaroo pockets, and a flap pocket. What more could a person ask for! I buy a large because I like to layer, and I always like my Patagonia pieces to be roomy.
This style is true to size. I don't find that so much in the Los Gatos. I wear it everyday and have a back up for going out. It is like wearing a blanket. Not to warm or cold. I live in the Tetons and can throw it on over a good baselayer and I am out the door.
I already bought one of these wonderful, snuggly tops last year and love it, so I decided this year to buy one for my mom and another one for me.

I would give this 5 stars if there was a way to turn down the collar. I love every other thing about it. The feel...the color...the fit...are perfect! It is pricy for a fleece pullover but it is so very nice.

Very cute and stylish. Runs a bit small. Collar is stiff and is in the way. It rubs on your face and no adjustments can be made to eliminate this. The collar is a scratchy material.

Very good
Smooth process. I would remove the plastic from the package
I bought a size up to account for heavier shirts being worn underneath. I’m happy I did because it seems to run slightly small (it fits me like a small would and I bought a medium). The fabric is soft and it does well in 40 degree weather. I would definitely purchase again.
I couldn't resist the deep plum color! The color is just as gorgeous in person as it is online. I'm usually a size XS or S, so initially bought a S.

Perfect Fleece
This was even better than the pictures! It was a great color and extremely soft. Love it!
I'm so happy Patagonia has decided to make some larger size options. I have very broad shoulders and it's hard to find clothing that fits. I love this pullover, it's so warm and cozy!

Turned out better than expected. Lightweight for cooler temps with a long sleeve T shirt under it. (45-65 degrees) Felt cozy and warm.

I'm 5ft and about 107 lbs. I got the xs which fits perfectly. I didn't want to wear much under it and choose to not have it be loose. Though I could still wear a long T shirt and button down light shirt under it without being too tight. It has a nice form fitting shape (not boxy)
Yup, looks good, feels good.
Patagonia makes a good product, this is warm, slim fitting and stylish. The collar won’t stay down, it’s a bit stiff, that’s the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
If you are looking for a flattering, cozy, and super soft fleece this is it.

Hi Gabby, thanks so much for your review. We're glad to see you're satisfied with the color, but it's a bummer the fabric changes aren't up to your satisfaction. This season, 51% of the polyester in this pullover is recycled, which is why it has a thinner feel. However, our designs are constantly being revised, and customer's feedback is one of the contributing factors to these changes. We hope that we won't disappoint you in the future.

So cozy!
Love this! It is so soft and warm. You will not be disappointed with this pullover! I usually wear a small but after reading some reviews, I purchased a medium. Glad I did as there is a little extra room to layer.
This pullover is a true crowd favorite and we can barely keep it on the shelves. I finally broke down and bought one for myself. I chose to size up for comfort reasons and I'm so glad that I did. Normally, I'm a true small in Patagonia but my medium Re-Tool fits like a dream.
This is the best fleece I’ve ever owned. It’s been 5 years and many washes and it’s still so soft on the inside and outside. It’s so warm for how thin and light weight it is. I also love the middle pocket it’s very handy. This fleece is great for casual wear or exercise. I’ve worn it as an under layer while skiing and it’s amazing because it’s very...

I was reluctant to buy this because it looked a bit to boxy in the pics. A friend assured me i would love it, and she is correct! i love the pockets, the color, the coziness. I get lots of compliments and feel cozy without feeling frumpy.
The jacket fits fairly true to size, but is a bit snug around the bust. The material, texture and color are nice to the touch and appearance.

I love this pullover so much. It's so warm and soft. If I could improve one thing, I'd make the sleeves a couple inches longer - but I have super long arms, so you can't win them all.
The pull over fleece is very warm. Runs true to size. You can add layers underneath. I only had one issue with the fleece. I bought the pink color fleece and the fleece color did shed on my black shirt. Besides that the fleece is very nice and comfy.
runs small, fabric is a lot thinner than I thought
This fleece is lovely and comfortable but runs small. I'm 5'3 and the sleeves hit right at my wrist so I could see them being too short for taller people.

This fleece is so light and fluffy that I wear it almost constantly now. Lounging around at home, to work, everywhere! I love the big kangaroo pocket in the front.
I love this pullover. I got it in a sort of plum color and it is the perfect shade and soft too. I love the kangaroo pouch. My only regret is that it is not very long and could even be larger overall (yes even for an XXL!) It is so soft I am wearing it every day it feels as if I have had it for years.

I have a small collection of colors and I love them all. Best quality. I enjoy the Better Sweaters, too. Never disappointed.
True to size. I’m 4’ 11”, 115 lbs and the small fits perfect. I was concerned when I received it because it looked a bit small, however, after I tried it on it was the perfect amount of loose. Color is as shown and quality is great. Looking forward to using it soon! ☺️
Love this thing! Thought it would be smaller and more snug when I initially saw it online, but turns out the bulkiness and fluff makes for even better wear!
I literally wear it everyday. At first, I thought I'd miss having the zipper, since I bought this to replace my r2 full-zip hoody that 'passed on.' But no zipper, means more cozy. So it hangs on the back-of-bedroom-door hook and I put it on first thing, to make morning chai, then I walk the dog in it, then I stuff it in my purse for ... Read Morewhen I get cold at work. It's always in the laundry and it holds up great. And actually, I just bought it in a second color during the sale-- the Moccasin brown color-- it's way prettier in person. Warm brown in indoor light and coppery brown when outdoors.
This was too short in the sleeves for me and the material where the snaps are is super stiff and scratchy. Bummed. Was hoping it would fit. All my other Patagonia jackets and fleeces are xs, but this one was was a lot shorter on me. So I'm returning it.
My first Patagonia 10 years ago was a Re-Tool Snap T pullover. I wore it into the ground and it was my favorite piece of clothing- this one is no different. Soft, warm, well made, and so comfortable. And recyclable packaging to boot! Very pleased.
Love this. SO comfy I don't want to take it off.
Best for no-wind conditions, as it isn't wind resistant.
The deep plum color is gorgeous. Already planning to pack it for my next trip.
Size chart recommended a Large, and I had to return it for a Medium. So I'd say it's a baggy/relaxed fit.
Just purchased the blue in an xxs. Have been distressed over the changes to the retool and sizing issues and wondered how this new version would compare to the others. I was pleasantly surprised to see only a small variation to the sizing compared to the version that was part of the fall '17 and winter '18 collection. The new version is a... Read Morebout 1.5 inches longer in the length of garment and sleeve length. This version is a bit thinner than the version I loved, but not horribly thin. Garment weight difference is about 1 ounce. For reference I am 5'2", 100 pounds and look like an Olympic ice skater. The blue is stunning. Thank you Patagonia.
The coziest item I own. I take this everywhere, I live in a warm climate so below 70F is enough to warrant wearing including the blasting AC of summer. I wear it by itself or with a tank or shirt under. This is my first sweater like this so I have nothing to compare it to, but I have no complaints. I love the color choices, especially all the soft ... Read Morenatural earth tones lately, I think these are timeless and just pleasing to look at. The century pink is gorgeous, the polyester fabric means little to no shrinkage and feels like a teddy bear. I've washed this several times followed by air dry, and it's held up perfectly. The outside is softer than the inside by a smidge, and the inside pills slightly, but it's on the inside and it doesn't affect functionality, so we'll let it slide. The fabric is also breathable, it's not just a solid mass of wool or something, so it keeps you from overheating. I like the nylon trim on the inside of the pouch, chest pocket and neck, same color as fabric and helps add structure and security. After a few washes the nylon wasn't stiff and the collar wasn't pokey anymore. The snap buttons are high quality and strong. The lining of the hand pouch and at the sleeve cuffs is like a mesh basketball short fabric. I thought I wanted something warmer to keep my hands warm but, then after wearing, figured it must've been done to reduce bulk which I appreciate because I bought something with a feminine silhouette for a reason. I also appreciated the breathability of the mesh since this sweater is warm especially with a base layer so it helps to maintain a comfortable stasis in body temperature. The only thing was that I originally ordered a XXS because I weigh a buck soaking wet, and I'm used to XS being XXS these days but this was actually too small even for my small frame, like I could barely get my arms into the sleeves and getting it off was quite a challenge especially if I wanted my shirt to stay on at the same time, so I sized up to a XS, which was what I normally wore before XS became XXS. So thank you Patagonia for being a true to actual sizes. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about clothing they like, it's very subjective, but truly I say poo-poo all the negative reviews. I think this item is great and plan on keeping for a very long time.
The fabrics are stiffer and cheaper now than before. What's going on? I had to return both the synchilla and the re-tool. So disappointed for the price.
This is my fourth maybe fifth time purchasing this item. I’ve bought multiple pullover all varying in color and I’m never disappointed. Keeps me warm and is very comfortable. 10/10 recommended
LOVE it! Cozy & comfortable. Best part? Front pocket!
I typically don't like things around my neck, but when this is snapped up, it's covered nicely and doesn't rub under my chin, neck area. Very soft. Would like to have a second in another color.
I am 5’7” 125 lb- ordered a small and was worried that it would be too small but it fits absolutely perfect. Got it in the pale purple color and is just beautiful. Perfectly warm and cozy without being too heavy
Great slim fit so it feels a little more polished. I sized up to a small and it’s a perfect fit. Slim enough to not look sloppy but still enough room for a flannel and undershirt if needed. I’m 5’7” and 113 lbs, for reference.
I love this pullover. It's so soft and cozy and fits perfectly. The sleeves are nice and long, same we with the torso length. And the color is lovely!
Love the purple color, and how soft it is. I will say I forgot that these types of materials make everything fuzzy below it. Just something to remember when purchasing. Worth it I think!
I love this sweater! I have one in all black and I have one in the grey and turquoise combo. They are extremely comfortable and keep you warm on a chilly day. My only complaint is that when wearing makeup, the stiff collar is constantly brushing against my neck/chin and will pick up makeup. It's extremely noticeable on the turquoise version.
I've been eyeballing the Re-tool for some time now and finally went for it. It's so soft, cozy, and perfect for the cool spring mornings we've been having. I'm a jacket junkie and this is a must-have!
I LOVE this new style. It is thinner than the previous like other reviews have stated but it makes it more slimming especially since it doesn’t have the round trim on the bottom and sleeve. Great fit and still the comfy, quality pullover as always from Patagonia.
I love everything about this fleece except for that the snaps irritate the front of my neck. Easy enough to overcome with some layering or a buff, and worth it given how great the fleece feels otherwise. I think.
I have been eyeing one of these for a few years, but always put off getting one because the cart total scared me off. If I could do it all over again...I would have pulled the trigger much sooner.
The item is true to fit, soft, and warm. I am 5'7", 150#, athletic build. There is no weird cut, length, or quirk from the piece from what I h... Read Moreave experienced. I would not layer it underneath anything without feeling bulky and this is not what I would use as a technical piece. For casual purposes, this is a great piece for fall or winter.
I purchased this fleece in magenta about a year ago bc I had seen a lot of people with it and it looked nice cozy! Best decision was ever! It is very warm and cozy. It’s perfect for so many things too. I can wear it if I’m lounging around the house, or if I’m skiing or hiking! I love it so much I just bought another one in the raw linen color! This... Read More years model is slightly different than previous ones, just as a warning, but it doesn’t make me love it any less. The new one is slightly thinner (which would make it better for active wear), and size wise, it runs a little differently. I ordered a small both last year and this year, but last years was borderline too small, and this years is borderline too big. Overall though, this is an amazing fleece and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one:)!
This product is great for staying warm. It’s also extremely soft and comfortable to wear. It’s perfect under a rain jacket for work outside in cooler temperatures or hiking.
The re-tool is true to size. I'm 5'3", 106 lbs and the XS fits perfectly. It's super warm, but breathes so you don't get clammy. This also means you'll feel cold wind, so you'll need a windbreaker for that.

I got the lavender purple color and it's so pretty. It gets many compliments!
I love everything about the re-tool pullover. This is my first Patagonia purchase and I could not be happier. This jacket is so warm and soft. I’ve worn it almost everyday since I received it and has washed nicely. I am 5’4 and 135 pounds and ordered a Medium. It fits perfect!
I've had Patahonia retool sweaters before but they were an older style. I was nervous about some of the reviews on the new and improved style but I love it! They have made this sweater slightly longer which for me was an issue with the older style. For reference I'm 5'5 116 lbs. Thin but have broad shoulders for my size. This newer s... Read Moretyle fits slightly larger than the older style... I am generally a small and sized up to a medium like I always have, but I almost think I could have stuck with my usual size?
While the fabric itself is nice, a couple of the snaps fell off and the edges of the sleeves pilled. Color stayed nice though. Also, kinda short, wish it was a little longer. Overall, I’m not really satisfied with my purchase.
They changed some minor things like the band at the bottom of the sweater and at the ends of the arms and the pockets are straight instead of curved now which i don’t mind. But the bands for the older one was much better i tried to buy them again but they don’t seem to be selling them anymore
Though I did really like this jacket, it was a bit longer than it was in the picture and was not as soft as expected but it is very warm and high quality.
Best top ever. Soft, warm, beautiful, functional. The top part of the fabric backing for the snap closure scratches/chafes/irritates the underside of my chin so I can’t wear it snapped closed. The full zip jacket doesn’t have this problem but doesn’t come in as many amazing colors.
I have 6 of these pullovers from years past. Obviously I love them....I live in the mountains and live in the re-tool pullovers all the cold winter, just alternating my 6 colors. I bought my 7th one a month ago in the teal color, and found that the design has changed quite a bit, and not for the better. Overall it's now a bit larger, has longe... Read Morer sleeves, and is longer at the bottom. Those are actually GOOD changes, in my opinion. I had always felt that this top was a bit small. I'm typically a small to medium, but I ended up buying a Large in all my tops because they are more comfortable and a bit longer on the bottom. So the new large cut solves that problem. What I'm disappointed in is the disappearance of the rolled edging on the bottom of the sleeves and the bottom hem. The very nice looking small, turned back contrast edging is gone, and it's now just a turned back flat hem, so the sleeves seem sloppy at the bottom now, and the bottom hem looks terrible and kind of baggy looking, and doesn't hang right. The front curves down a bit longer at an angle and also looks sloppy, and the sides seem pulled up a bit compared to the front, and overall, when wearing it the top just doesn't look nearly as neat and pulled together as the old design did. Very very VERY disappointing because this used to be such a lovely top that looked really stylish while it was keeping you warm. I can't imagine why Patagonia changed the design as it did but I hope they will change it back! I'd advise trying these on before deciding on a size. I tried on two of the same size and they were substantially different and seemed like different sizes. Since I'm asked to recommend (or not) the top, I still recommend it for its warmth and presumed continuing longevity, as these tops wash beautifully and stay nice looking even after dozens of washes.
This is my first Re-tool fleece pullover and I love everything about it! I am typically between a M and L with tops and purchased the Large. The medium fit snug, if you want a tighter fit. I found it too be a little too short in the front & back for my height. I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs. slimmer up top. The large fits loose, but not ba... Read Moreggy and the extra length is what I prefer. The slim fit keeps it more feminine looking. I bought the Smoky Violet color and it is beautiful. Will definitely buy more next season. Really great quality & it doesn't get too hot. #patagoniarocks
I own several (like 10) Re-tool Snap T's, and love them. I just purchased a new one on sale and I'm very disappointed. You changed the thickness of the material--it's not as warm.

I purchased my first re-tool pullover last year and I love it so much! I ignored the reviews and ordered one of the pullovers from this year to check it out for myself. So disappointed!

Please go back to the old construction! I’ve been a Patagonia customer for decades and I am extremely disappointed with the horrible quality of the re-tool this season. The fabric is thin and cheap and the fit is way off. Don’t mess with something that works, your customers are too smart for that.
Love these sweaters, I own at least 5 of the older versions... So needless to say I was very disappointed to learn that many less than appealing design changes had been made to my favorite go-to, trusty old sweater.

I want to love this pullover but I’m disappointed. It’s too short. I’m 5’6” and it is a weird fit. I’ve never dried it so it did not shrink. I even sized up.
I LOVED this item before they changed the design. The old design was shorter in length and was hemmed in around the bottom.

PATAGONIA, please make the old design available again for thos of us who are petite with a shorter torso. We need just ONE item with some variation! ALL of your womens pullovers hang low with the same style!
I LOVED this when I first saw it online. After purchasing, I also really liked it. But after wearing it a few times, I found it pretty uncomfortable. The inside lining is an uncomfortable mesh that is scratchy and does not feel good at all against my skin. I rarely choose to wear it for this reason, and wouldn't strongly recommend it.
I love the old re-tool for its slouchy comfort. There are some things to really like about this new version. One, it is styled without the band at the hem so in theory it looks slimmer. The problem is that it has a narrower fit thru the torso and shoulders, so it rides up, which pretty much negates the longer length (at least for me, and I’m 5’3”).... Read More The pockets are definitely better and do not add as much volume in the belly area. It also seems a bit thinner, which for me is great since I like to wear it indoors. Overall, there is a lot to like. However, I had to go up a size from my usual to get the right fit in the length. So bear that in mind, since it is advertised as a slim fit. Love the new 2019 spring colors though!
I have 2 re-tool fleeces that are 2 and 4 years old. While the fit is always a little weird for these they are soft, cozy, and extremely comfortable. I wear both of mine a ton and love them.

Read Morey are significantly thinner and not nearly as comfortable. I also noticed the front collar area was really stiff and scratchy. The fit is also strange (as usual for these). Medium was tight across the shoulders and not long enough. The large was HUGE and really baggy at the bottom. All in all I decided not to get the current design. Hopefully the next round will be better. I am a Patagonia lover through and through so I will definitely give it another shot when new ones come out.
This is my favorite Patagonia sweater -- love the fit and the colors and how warm it keeps me.
And I especially love that it comes from a factory which is Fair-Trade certified. Patagonia is awesome.
This fleece pullover is nice and warm. I love the pockets, which don't add to bulk or contribute to an unflattering fit. However, the snaps at the neckline are curiously hard to snap, but left unsnapped, the ribbon finishing tends to poke into my shin
This is most certainly one of the worst jackets I have ever bought. I got it as a Christmas present but was extremely disappointed with quality. This jacket has a kind of cheap feel to it.

This is the second time in recent years that Patagonia has updated one of my favorites (seemingly for no reason!) and both times I’ve been super disappointed. General fit is fine/TTS, but sleeves are all wrong, the quality of the fleece is much lower, and it just did not feel the same as my older ones. Please go back to the old style!
I really wanted to love this fleece. However the collar laid unevenly and drove me nuts. Also sleeves too short. I was expecting to feel comfy and cozy and I just felt stiff and uncomfortable. Kept wanting to tug it down because length felt too short. I am petite 5’3” 105 lbs so was very surprised when the XS was too small.
The fit is good and I like the material, but the kangaroo pocket is uncomfortable in terms of the angle your hands/arms sit in it and the lining of the pocket is not insulated. The pocket ruins it for me. I’m so sad, this is the first Patagonia product I have been unhappy with.

Pros: The slim fit is flattering. The pockets don't bulge or puff out. love the color (I got white with beige accents). The fabric is so soft! It's warm enough, yet very breathable. Can wear it with a t-shirt underneath, or just on its own. Overall, it looks fantastic!

At first I figured it was because it's new, but I've since washed it three times and it still sheds terribly. It keeps up with my dogs' hair. And since I have the white fleece, I can't wear it with black leggings or they're covered in tiny white strands. Even worse, my car has a black interior and my fleece covered the dashboard, seats, carpet, and got in the air vents. As much as I love this fleece, I don't enjoy wearing it because the mess it leaves behind and because I find myself coughing constantly whenever I'm wearing it. The other slight downside to this fleece is it hardly blocks the wind.
Overall, I'm returning this because I didn't expect this expensive of a fleece to be made so poorly.
I had to buy one since it was a new fit all together. To me this version is thinner but still very warm. This one might be easier to wear I would get too warm in the other one.
