I bought this despite some of the reviews saying it shed a lot. So glad I did, it is perfect and comfy and warm. I haven't had any issue with it shedding excessively yet but I've also only worn it a handful of times so far. If you are debating whether to get it, I highly recommend it.
For size reference I'm 5'5" 150lbs and ... Read Moreordered a medium and it fits perfect.
Was so excited for this fleece as it has great reviews and the yellow palm tree print is so cute, but it will not stop shedding on everything! Ive washed it a bunch of times and constantly use a lint roller on it but it doesnt help. Very disappointed considering how much it was and how great all my other Patagonia clothes are

Synchilla Shedding
I ordered the 'Abundance: Surfboard Yellow' and have washed it three times now and the amount of fleece fibers that are still coming off of the jacket is unreal. I cannot wear any dark colored pants with it as they become COVERED in the tiny fibers. I really love the color and am sad that I have to return it, but these little fleece fiber...

Super cute, but sheds more than my cat
I picked up the printed one from REI earlier this week. I always wash my clothes before wearing --this one gave me a not so pleasant surprise: all of my cotton based clothes are COVERED with shiny polyester fuzz. I love the print and weight of the pullover so I want to keep it. I'm hoping I can launder it by itself and get all of the excess fu...

Hello Ariel, thank you for this review. We're so sorry to hear about the excessive shedding you're experiencing. We do all kinds of field testing before a product is made available to the public, but regardless issues can still pop up.

Love the fit and color but the shedding is excessive
I got this fleece from a local outdoor store and absolutely loved the color and fit. However, when I wore it even after washing I found myself covered in little fleece fibers.

Hi Evelyn, we're sorry to hear this pullover is still shedding excessively, even after washing; usually laundering helps with the extra fuzz. If the shop where you purchased it won't take it back as a return you can [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it to us for credit. Please include a copy of the receipt as well. Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

Cozy
Very cozy and soft but I dont really think I would have bought this if it wasnt for a discount I got. I like it but for the price I dont feel it is worth it.
It is so cozy that I dont want to take it off. It keeps me warm in this cold spring in California. Compared with other brand fleece pullover, this one is warmer.
Yellow pattern is lovely, fleece is warm but I dont wear it as little bits of fleece go all over my pants and anywhere Im sitting. Thought washing and drying a couple of times would help but shedding hasnt improved at all. Unfortunate.
Hi Carrie, thank you for submitting this review. We're just sorry to hear this pullover is shedding excessively! While some shedding is normal and usually eases up after a few launderings it sounds like this one is taking it further. If it's a deal-breaker please remember you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it if you like.

Shedding is non stop.
Initially I had no idea that these shed fibers when you first buy them because Ive always thrifted mine and never had an issue. Looking into it, people said it would go away after about two washes. Well Im on my 10th wash and it still sheds like crazy. It feels like eventually the sweater will no longer be a sweater anymore. Ive used a lint roller ... Read Moreon it twice after each wash and it hasn't helped. The times that I did wear it, fibers all over my desk chair, all over my car seatbelt and seat, all over my pants/leggings. At one point I was talking to a coworker and every time I move my arms, I would see little fibers flying everywhere and my coworker made a comment. I am so disappointed because I love the fit, it just doesn't stop shedding. I gave it a chance but I will most likely be returning it. (I got it in the color Oatmeal with the Teal trim)
Thank you so much for writing this review, Naya! We want to extend our sincere apologies for the amount of shedding you experienced with this product.

Lovely and warm
This fleece is so comfy and the fit is flattering. I wish I had three more so I could wear them all the time. So lovely and warm. Fun pattern.
I wasnt sure whether to get a size small or extra small, but the extra small fits well. Its still roomy without being extra bulky.
I own a LW synchilla in Spring 2022 Oatmeal Heather and love it so much, thus decided to buy another exact color Oatmeal Heather with a different collar and pocket trim. It arrived as Fall 2022 model. I have only tried on and it left incredibly large amount of clear fiber (look like tiny plastics fiber) on my under shirt. After carefully comparing ... Read Morethe fabric of the Spring 22 model and Fall 22 model, though they are exactly the same Oatmeal Heather color, I found the fabric to be very different. The Fall 22 fabric has numerous embedded plastic fibers which are super easy to tell under light, and these plastic fibers will stay on your shirt and hard to come off. Patagonia - I totally support the motivation to use recycled plastics for Synchilla, but, please, do not sacrifice the quality of product.
Hi there, thank you for submitting this review. We think you're referring here to Fall of 2022's color Oatmeal Heather with Fresh Teal. We're sorry this fabric was shedding so much for you! Thank you for returning something you weren't going to be happy with, and for providing this feedback on the fabric. We are passing it along to our design team so they can look into it further.

I wanted to love this sweatshirt, but sadly I have to return it.

Great, if you like rolling around in fiberglass insulation
I received a light grey one as a gift for my birthday in January. The fit is strange, as several have noted in their reviews. Really bulky, not form-fitting, strange elastic rib at the bottom, no way to wear a shell over it unless it is a size too big. But that wasn't my biggest issue. Right off, I noticed it was shedding tiny particles of pla... Read Morestic fleece--got into my eyes, made my face and neck itch--I thought I could even feel it going in as I breathed. Really what it reminded me of was messing around with good old fashioned rolled fiberglass insulation. Washed the shirt, no change. It transferred little fleece particles to the neighboring shirts in my closet. Contacted customer support and was told that after 3 or 4 washings and dryings, it should be fine. Wow, really? so I need to wash and dry a new garment that many times before wearing to ensure I'm not giving myself lung damage? What about the health and wellness of the people making these? Doesn't eco-friendly also apply to the water, soap, and power it takes to do all this? I get that it's made out of recycled plastic, but at what cost? Long story short, I returned for a merchandise credit. Unfortunately, this particular item and color is now on sale, so I have no way to buy something comparable unless I shell-out my own $ to make up the difference. What Patagonia doesn't tell you with the lifetime satisfaction policy--you're likely to get screwed without a receipt (or maybe you get screwed with one, too. I don't know). Several lessons learned.
Thank you for your review, Melissa. We're so sorry to hear that your Synchilla was shedding so terribly. This is not something we'd expect of this fleece, and it definitely sounds like you experienced a warranty issue. We're glad to hear that you were able to send this back for a credit. We've emailed you with a promo code as well to help offset the costs of a replacement. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we hope to not disappoint in the future!

Comfortable but sheds
I wore this with a black shirt underneath. It was covered in little fuzzies. I'm hoping with multiple washes the shedding of fabric will stop. Otherwise the fit is true to size. The style is awesome and its comfortable.
Hi Jovana, thank you for taking the time to write a review. You're absolutely correct, washing will help to mitigate shedding. However, if you think the shedding has become excessive, please feel free to begin a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time.

Looks nice for work
I work as a PE teacher and these things are great. They can make me look a bit more professional at work even though I am wearing leggings and running sneakers every day. As soon as I saw that I could grab one of these in XXL I was in immediately. Every store I go to, REI, any mountain, sports basement, they only carry up to a size LARGE. I'm ... Read Moreusually an XL but like to buy XXL for comfort in my highly active job. I gave up on these sweaters because I couldn't find a big enough size, what a bummer. Will keep buying if you put out XXL's. These have great second-hand resale value and hold up well. I wish these came in sizes XXXL and xxxxl for bigger women out there who may be pregnant or just need a bigger size as I have seen many women who are active who wear above an xxl or just need that extra room. Love the brand and can't wait for some more inclusive sizing. It's time to step up patagonia.
I wanted to love this and I am so bummed I didn't. The fit is small. It was tight in my armpits and tight and the bottom of the sweatshirt. I always order a large and I have a large in the dusty mesa parka. The colors were great.
Hi Vanessa! We're sorry to hear the pullover wasn't the best fit. That said, we truly appreciate your feedback and we'll share this with our design team. Please note, your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Warm and cozy
Love everything about these pullovers. Warm, comfortable, cozy. Great oversized fit.
got this mostly to be a lazy dirtbag in so really no complaints. the waist band is a little tighter than id like it to be but causes no issues with my couch naps i take in it :)
This sweater leaves a terrible mess with the fabric the sweater is made of all over my pants, work chair. For an expensive brand I thought the quality would be better.
We're sorry to hear that the fabric of this fleece pullover has shed so much. Your purchase is covered by our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee) and we'll reach out to you by email to discuss the product care and warranty return options. Thanks for your review, Melissa!

Truly amazing
I am in love! I absolutely love the fit of this fleece, I have a few others in different styles, which I love, but the roominess of this style is the best
I love this item. I perhaps could have gone with an XS but the bit more room is fine. The fact that sleeve isn't left wide open at the wrist makes the fact that the sleeves are a little long no big deal.
I love this pullover so much id recommend it. The only issue i have with it is when i wear my hair down i get fuzzies from the jacket in my hair, even after multiple washes.
Honestly, you can never go wrong with a snap t from Patagonia. For size reference Im 5ft 5 and 115 lbs, go for medium if you want oversized and cozy and small if you want to wear it out.
Thank you for this review, Michelle. Normally the shedding subsides over time and washing. If that shedding gets to be too much of a problem please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it under our warranty.

Love the style but the fabric sheds.
Would have loved to give it 5 stars since I love the style and fit a lot. But, the I am finding fibers on my arm rest of my car just from leaning on it. I was surprised at how much the fabric sheds. Also the arm and waist elastics are not as stretchy as past synchilla products I have had which was nice.
Hi Lisa, we're very sorry to hear about the trouble with shedding. Washing can help to mitigate this issue. We recommend laundering your fleece in cold water with a mild detergent, then machine drying on a low heat setting, or line drying.

Warm, comfortable, fits perfectly
Originally planned on buying size M to have extra room but went with a Small and I was pleasantly surprised with the fit. Not too snug and still have some room. Its also very warm and I love the colors/print.
Im usually an xs in Patagonia but bought this in a small on sale to wear for everyday, and Im glad! I can easily layer under it (though you wont really need to) and its super warm and comfortable. The cinched sleeves and bottom keep heat in but arent tight. definitely would recommend.
Fits true to size- I like my clothes roomy enough for layering and comfort, and I felt like I had that option with the snap-T without the arms/shoulders feeling cut too wide.
I purchased the small hoping it would be a looser fit was!
It is so comfortable to wear casually around the house, in a walk/hike and out shopping. I love this!
I wanted this to be really baggy so I went for a xl when I'm usually a medium. It is really big so I could have went for a large. I love it and it is exactly like the image.
Hey Eva, thanks for the review. If the Synchilla is still in new condition, you're welcome to begin an exchange for a size down on [this page](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Love the fit, not the shedding
The fit is excellent but I keep finding piercing of shed fleece over my clothes.
Thanks for the feedback, Tina. The elasticated bottom is part of the classic design of the Synchilla fleece, we're sorry to hear it didn't work out! We recommend checking out the [Women's Re-Tool Snap-T Fleece Pullover](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-re-tool-snap-t-fleece-pullover/25443.html?dwvar_25443_color=QUCX&cgid=root) as an potential alternative.

Beautiful & Lasts Years
I have one of these Snap Ts that's more than 20 years old and still going strong. My husband just got me two more, one in Oatmeal/Teal and the other in Mythic Pink/Teal. Regarding lint, simply wash the garment before you wear it; Voila! problem solved! Also, IMO never, NEVER toss this into the dryer! It's completely unnecessary, because S... Read Moreynchilla dries very fast. If you are only going to get one of these, then choose your color carefully; because you're gonna have this beautiful garment for a long, LONG time!
I love this thing -- extremely comfy, classic look, warm, and durable. I am 5'4" 135lb and I have owned XS, S, and M: XS is pretty fitted but comfortable, S is probably the best overall fit including a shirt layer underneath, M is comfortably oversized. They have all lasted a very long time and held up well; they almost get better with we... Read Morear. However, here is my warning: this thing will shed fibers all over you and anything it comes into contact with for quite a number of washes. It will shed on some laundry too, so I wash mine with towels/sheets until it is tamed. It will shed fibers for more washes than you think. It is certainly worth it, and does stop after a while, but it is quite a while. Would absolutely still recommend, I just stick my new ones in with every towel/sheets load I do until the shedding has been conquered. Very worth the mitigation for a cozy pullover that I think might last forever.
I'm a huge fan of this fleece and was excited to see a new irresistible pattern (sisu brown). My husband bought it for me for Xmas and I was immediately underwhelmed. At first I thought it was a matter of not having a new one in about 2yrs and maybe memory not serving correctly... but after three washes and multiple wears I can confidently say... Read More that this fleece is not like it used to be. The quality of the fabric is a disappointment; incredibly thin and sheds likes mad. Compared to the older versions of the synchilla fleece I have this one looks and feels like a bad knock-off. I can't emphasize enough how thin this fleece is compared to years past; you can see natural light through it and the lightest breeze cuts right through! Definitely not worth purchasing...
Hello Theresa, thank you for the review. We're very sorry to hear of your disappointment with this fleece. We're wondering if you might have had a different kind of Synchilla in the past, as this is our lightweight version. We doubled checked to see if there have been any recent design changes and we weren't able to find anything. As always, if you are unhappy with the performance of this fleece you're welcome to send it in for a warranty evaluation. We also advise keeping an eye on our [Worn Wear website](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=synchilla) for past season versions of the Synchilla.

Unbelievable comfortable and soft
I love this material and pullover. It truly is soft and comfortable! I wear it all shift and it keeps me nice and warm. I would highly recommend it! I just wish that they had this material in vest/jackets because I adore it!
I live in California and right now this fleece is an amazing one for this weather at the moment. I support a brand that supports our future so I will be definitely recommending and buying more in the future
This pullover is very soft and warm and the colors are nice and I really want to love it. HOWEVER, I'm 5'7" and tried both the M and L and both go over my butt in a way that is very unflattering. The whole pullover is too long, so combined with the cinched bottom hem, create a strange and unflattering silhouette. This would be a much... Read More better product if it was more cropped or had a looser bottom hem.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Sophia. We are also incredibly sorry to hear about the fit issues you encountered with this product. Please know you are more than welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this product at any time as we want you to be fully satisfied with all of your Patagonia products.

Softest item of clothing ever!
I have both the pants and matching pullover. They are the softest most comfortable clothes I own. They are perfect for casual wear in the Iowa winters!
The fabric is very soft and warm and sizing is perfect. The only issues I have are the small pocket and the reinforced collar tends to stand up when not buttoned and hit in the face.
This was a gift for our daughter. Ive purchased a lot of Patagonia. The fabric quality isn't soft its also piled after just one wash. So unhappy with this product. Complete waste.
Hello Jennifer, thank you for the review. We're so sorry to hear you're disappointed with this fleece. We certainly don't want you feeling like you wasted anything to keep this item, so feel free to begin a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Very warm and cute!
Got a small, it fits well. The pink and black color is super cute. Wore it ice skating in 32 degrees and it's plenty warm. I'm 5'3, 130 lbs, 34b. Recommend!
I have a couple of these fleece pullovers and they are definitely my go-to layer during the fall and winter. They also work on chilly summer evenings. They are easy to care for and the fit works for my petite but busty frame. I often wear a small in other brands (size 4) and find that the xsmall in this pullover fits me best while still being comfy... Read More and not too tight. If you want more of a lounge fit I would recommend going up to the size small.
Quality product but I couldn't get past the neck buttons
I loved the southwest design and color scheme. It was warm and cozy. Unfortunately the neck and buttons were awkward. It hurt the front of my neck when I buttoned it up. It looked strange when it unbuttoned it which left me without any options other than returning it.
My fleece is very warm, cozy, and fits well. The pattern is nice. Only complaint is the amount of fleece shedding off of it even after 2 washes. I would also like it to have side pockets.
The weight of this fleece is just what I wanted it to be - not too thick and heavy but nice and warm. The fit is great - just a little roomy and oversized so there's plenty of room to layer underneath.
The top is attractive and comfortable but lacks pockets which was probably a cost-saving decision. Also, it's the first garment I've had from Patagonia that pills even though it was washed before I wore it.
Hi Fran, thank you for submitting this review. Some pilling with some garments can be inevitable, as it is the nature of those fibers. To help prevent further pilling we recommend washing your pullover either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than using the dryer. To remove pilling that has already occurred we recommend using a product like a fabric shaver, which is gentler on fabric than a sweater stone. Please let us know if we can be of any help!

Warm and cozy
Much warmer than I expected which is great! Light weight too. Soft material and a great color. Great in the rain too.
It fits perfectly love the color and it keeps me warm I wear it to and from work and running errands.
I like it so much and I told my brother about it and he got one too loves it and he looks good in it so I suggest to anyone who is reading this purchase a a coat for yourself you deserve it
I love this pattern, but the bottom elastic was too tight. The medium fit through the body, but I had to exchange for a large because of the bottom elastic. Also would love to see this with pockets!
I bought this with the matching jogger pants. I love this set it is so comfortable to wear. I can see me wearing this on an airplane as well. These are definitely comfy traveling clothes.
I wanted so badly to love this fleece. Loved the fit and the look of it, and for the price I expected it to last forever. However, it shed tiny plastic fibers EVERYWHERE. Even after washing it and wearing it a few times it did not improve at all. I cant wear it without being absolutely covered in fibers, and any furniture I sit on also gets covered... Read More in a layer of it. Luckily was able to return but still a bummer.
Thank you so much for submitting your review! We truly appreciate it and we will ensure this feedback gets back to our Product Designers so they are aware of these issues and can hopefully start work on getting them fixed.

Nice, but...
Beautiful colour and keeps me warm, but the only thing is the jumper molts - non-stop. You know exactly where I've been and what I've worn because the jumper leaves behind a layer of blue fluff. I tried washing the jumper, but still I molt!
Hello Kay, thanks for the review. That's interesting, we haven't experienced this before with the Synchilla, especially after a wash. You're definitely welcome to return it for a warranty evaluation. To begin that process, click [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Super Comfy!
You can never go wrong with this fleece! I absolutely love the relaxed fit and soft feel of the synchilla fleece. If you want more of a form fit size down. Great for hiking, camping, lounging, errands, walking the dogs, and all of the things! 5'9", 140lbs, 36B, 29in waist. I ordered a medium and it was a perfect fit for want I wanted.
This pullover is amazing! Love the style and the fit.
This pullover is relaxed, but not in a bad way. I would say to stick with your normal size when ordering. It is very comfortable and offers the perfect amount of warmth on cooler days.
I was excited to have this because of the pink color, but it has been shedding on everything. Even when I wash it with hand or my washing machine, everything will have pink lint! It also runs big, I usually wear medium but it feels like Large. Two stars for the warm and color only :(
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Jelika; our product designers read these reviews so your thoughts are getting to the right place. We're sorry to hear this Pullover has been having such shedding issues! We will reach out to you about options for returning it.

So soft
Love these pull overs light weight but very warm at the same time.
Had to have one after seeing my sons. The fleece is a great weight. Very warm but not bulky with a good amount of stretch. The arms are roomy enough to easily pull over other layers. Washes up well. Two things I wish were different. I wish the bottom elastic was adjustable with a toggle or something as I am a bit hippy. The second is pockets. I wis... Read Moreh it had hand warmer pockets. Still the best fleece I have owned.
This is my second SnapT fleece, and they are seriously the best. I bought this one because of the color- hot pink is my favorite and its hard to find this color in adult sizes.
I have wanted a Patagonia fleece for the past 6 years and I finally bought the flower power big peach one. I love the colors and pattern but there is so much lint that I can not even wear it! It gets in my mouth, my eyes, and all over my other clothes, hair, house, and car. I tried washing it three times and tumble trying with no heat but still the... Read More fuzz literally fills the air! I bet other styles are great cause I have friends that love them. But do not get the peach flower one!
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Brooklyn. We're so sorry this pullover was such a disappointment! While a certain amount of shedding is normal due to the type of fabric, it sounds like this top is shedding to the point where it's really not going to work for you. We're sharing your thoughts with our product designers, and we'll reach out to you about options.

Super Warm
A great warmer casual pullover. Slightly big and very comfortable.
Got the fleece with the flower design for my girlfriend. She told me that material was already shedding once she got it. She proceeded to wash the fleece in order to stop the shedding of the material, however the fleece continued to shed more.
Thank you for sharing this review, Elias. We're sorry to hear her pullover is shedding so much! A certain amount of shedding is normal with this kind of fabric, but it sounds like what she's seeing is beyond that. We will reach out to you about returning it, if you wish.

Love love love this top! But in the past. I have three. All size Med. This one fits a guy 6 feet tall and 160lbs.
So disappointing. Esp when I needed it in the hiking wilds if Cape Breton.
Consistency of sizing please Patagonia.

Toasted peach pills like crazy
I absolutely love the fit and color but even after three washes it pills like crazy. I have another light synchilla fleece that I wear all of the time and so I decided to get this adorable toasted peach color. Its a shame that it pills so much because its really cute. Looking for advice on how to stop the pilling please!
Hi Sarah! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that your pullover has started to pill. To prevent pilling, we recommend washing it either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get abraded. To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again. That said, if you're unhappy with the pullover you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
I love synchillas and was so excited to see new spring colors. Imagine my disappointment when my car seat, seatbelt, center console, and somehow floormat was covered in pink fuzz after a trip to the grocery store in the Mythic Pink. I had to sticky roll and vacuum the car for 15 min to remove it all. The Toasted Peach shedded all over my pants and ... Read MoreI dont think Im going to risk washing either of them as I dont want everything I own to be forever covered in pink and peach fuzz. Ive never had a problem with synchillas before, and Im bummed I cant take these on a trip in a couple weeks. Patagonia, can you help? This isnt normal, right?

Warm and Soft
I bought this sweater to wear to work because my office is always freezing. I really like that it goes well with a simple pair of jeans and looks put together. The sleeves are long which is awesome since Im tall and have long arms, but might be too long for some. It seems to run a little large as I bought a small and could easily fit into an extra ... Read Moresmall (Im usually a S/M in most tops), but I like the extra room so Im not going to exchange it.
After buying this fleece from Patagonia, I can't imagine wearing fleece from any other brand, honestly! Such soft, high quality materials and cool colors! 1000% recommend buying!
This is my favorite piece from Patagonia. I've owned many over the years and somehow it is always perfect for everything. Never fades, never shrinks, never makes me sweaty but is always warm enough. Dries incredibly fast. I've slept in it. Worn it to the beach and to skiing. Worn it to dinner. Literally everything. I l love it. I have the... Read Morem in both XS and S and both sizes fit well. I got the new floral pattern and it's unique and fun.
I love this fleece for its weight and warmth (and the retro pattern). But even after washing, it has been shedding little balls of fleece on EVERYTHING. It's as bad as my 2 huskies when they start blowing their coats. I have always had good luck with Patagonia products but so far I'm a little disappointed.
Hi Merianne! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that the fleece is experiencing some shedding. Its typical for a new fleece to shed a bit, but normally after one wash it stops. It doesn't sound like this has been the case for you so we'd consider this a warranty issue. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

comfy and warm
color true to pic, wish there were few more feminine colors.
Love the look and feel
I usually wear a medium but it was huge. The small fit nicely through the body with room to layer a t-shirt or turtleneck. The sleeves are probably 2 inches too long. They looked even worse when I turned them up. Sadly I decided for this price the length of the sleeves were a dealbreaker, even though I had made peace with not having side pockets.
Buy Mythic Pink ONLY If You Want To Be a Walking Pink Fuzzball
I have been a long time buyer of this fleece style and the Mythic Pink caught my eye because its a fun spring color. WHAT A MISTAKE. After several washes, the fleece continues to shed on everything. Anything you touch, it leaves a coating of pink fuzz. It is incredibly frustrating to be covered in pink fuzz everywhere you go. I regret buying this c... Read Moreolor. Patagonia, shame on you for not testing this product for everyday wear.

pilling
I've worn this only a few times and washed it once, the fabric is starting to pill on the back and on the arms and little fuzzes keep coming off. Very cute though
I really wanted to love it, this is super lightweight and keeps me warm. I washed it in the washer inside-out. Worn it on a hiking day, loved it until I looked down on my leggings. The pullover was shedding everywhere. My black leggings were fully covered in fuzz. Am I doing something wrong? 4.5 stars over 1k reviews for a piece of garment that she... Read Moreds everywhere?
Hi Kathy, thank you for sharing this feedback. It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. If this pullover keeps shedding more than you're comfortable with we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it. Please let us know how we can help!

Cozy
The fleece is very soft and kept me warm. The edging in the sleeves and bottom has some elasticity. Only con is that the some of the fleece threads come off if wearing a tee underneath.
The classic snap T fleece fits as expected. I want a pullover that I can layer with and not to tight. Got lots of compliments about the pattern and color- I do wish they have side pockets like my other Patagonia pullovers but I am really happy with this purchase.
This fleece has easily become my season staple. I love the fun design and pop of color details. I ordered a M and Im 58 140lbs. It fits perfect. Just enough room for a long sleeve under or T shirt. Would buy 100 more!
It described as "Regular Fit". Have purchased similar Patagonia Fleece & order small. Small was too large. Exchanged for XS which was also too large. Exchanged the XS for XXS and it fits well. Annoying to have to make 2 exchanges. This problem appears somewhat common with Patagonia sizing.
I received one of these as a gift over 10 years ago, and it's still my go-to snuggly hiking companion. I bought a new one for the color and because the old one lost some of its softness. Plenty of room for layering. The sleeves are a little long, but manageable. Toss on a shell, and the rain and cold won't faze me.
My favorite go to is the snap fleece. I did order it a size larger than normal, because I wanted it to fit like my previous one. I had an old one that was unisex, (yep, I keep my stuff), but I finally gave it to a guy doing a gap year at a national park. Really regretted that donation , but he was the son of a good friend and needed good warm cloth... Read Moreing. So I waited, and got this one on sale! But I would have paid regular price. I have worn it several times already and hope its a cold spring ;). This keeps me from borrowing my husband's snap fleece. He is thankful.
I bought the product in Size Small because I have several of the same items I'm small. It was too large so I exchanged it for an XS which was also too large so I purchased one in XXS which is perfect. Lack of consistency in sizing makes buying online a tedious process.
I don't know why Patagonia is making all of their fabrics so thin these days, but I have several older synchillas which are my go-to winter shirts. while this one has a nice print, the material is substantially lighter and thinner, and the Medium which is what my other one are, is somewhat smaller. I ended up buying a large from another store.... Read More 0 for 3 so far. Step it up, Patagonia!

Comfortable and cozy
I love this new pullover. It arrived about two weeks ago and I've worn it everyday every since (yes, I've washed it). The arms are long, which is great for me, and the fit is baggier. It's warm, but not too warm, and the color choices are excellent!
This jacket is super cute! I absolutely love it. The only minor bummer is I wish functionally there were pockets. I keep thinking there are and not having anywhere to put my phone / keys / tissues... But it's so cute I don't care.
For decades Ive loved Patagonia, but I find generally the cut of their jackets and fleeces to be unflattering for my body type. I have a petite frame with curves. The fit of the synchilla is mostly flattering given its boxy fit except for the arms which are disproportionally long. The fleece itself is high quality, a gorgeous neutral color, the per... Read Morefect balance of warm without being too warm, its lightweight and super soft with a flattering collar. Im so disappointed to have to return. I wanted to love it but I found the fit just a little bit off.
We're sorry to hear that the fit of this and other products aren't a great fit for you, but we appreciate the feedback. We hope the return to our warehouse or your local Patagonia store was easy and that you might soon find a [Spring 2022 fleece top](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/womens-fleece?page=2) that is perfect for you!

Not happy
I ordered this to wear walking. The fabric is thinner than it used to be, it's VERY long, and should have fit me as I typically wear a L but wanted it to be roomy. It was way too long, very straight, and not very warm. Had to return.
Hey Delores, thank you for the feedback. This is a Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T, perhaps you had a different version in the past that felt thicker? If so, you're welcome to check out [these Worn Wear options](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=synchilla). We add to inventory everyday, so if you don't see what you're looking for we recommend checking back. The Synchilla Snap-T typically has a regular fit, which does not sit very close to the body so that's something to keep in mind. If you wanted a slim fit, we recommend checking out the Women's Better Sweater 1/4-Zip Fleece.

Love this color!
I bought this specifically for the color, I just saw it and loved it. It is super warm and comfortable. The only thing I dislike is a lack of pockets. I would love to see either side pockets or a kangaroo pouch on this.
I loved the fleece when it came in. Beautiful color and fit as described. The ONLY downfall is that the fleece shed everywhere. I wore a little while prior to washing and thought the shedding would be resolved after washing. It did not. It didnt get worse, but it definitely didnt get better. A little disappointed.

Warm, but not too warm. Just perfect for indoors and outdoor.
This is my favorite style shirt to wear. This is the 6th one I have purchased and it never fails to be wonderful.
