Love this quarter zip! Comfortable for every day wear and warm enough to wear outdoors. Form fitted but not too tight to wear with a long sleeve shirt underneath. Perfect for layering under a vest or coat for when its colder.
I owned a quarter zip sweater that was a hand me down from my daughter. I loved it and wore it often to walk my dog along the river in the bosque. It always seems to be the correct weight.

Hey Christine, thanks for the review. It's worth noting that the Better Sweater has a slim fit, which could be why the medium felt tight for you.

Great Sweater, Super Warm
My wife loved the sweater. The "S" was way too tight. The medium was a much better fit.

Good quality sweater
I love the quality of this 'fleecy' sweater. I would say it does run a bit small especially if you are of a curvy build or if you want to wear a layer underneath it. It's warm though and the color is a nice neutral (pelican). Is works well worn under a vest or by itself and also launders nicely.
I purchased a size xs for my wife; she is under 5' and 95 lb. It was so tight I had to help her try it on on Christmas morning. It was too small for a very small woman like her. We had to reorder at REI and get her a small. The small fits her torso, but the sleeves are several inchers too long.
I was skeptical about a polyester sweater but the knit is very sturdy. I usually wear a fleece jacket in the house but this sweater is very warm. Love the color too
This top ran a little small, had to return 2 tops that were different sizes. I notified Patagonia and instantly they sent me a label to return them. I purchased another in a larger size but they didn't have the second so they put me on the list when it comes in. I mailed the original order back on a Thursday and on Friday I got notification my... Read More account had been refunded. I don't think you could ask for better service. I would definitely recommend this company!!!!
Got the Medium (5'6" & 140) and was too snug. Large is perfect and I wear a layer under. This is breathable and also like the collar- - good height and doesn't rub. Well made product & has the Patagonia guarantee which is always a bonus.
I absolutely love this sweater, only downside it that the sleeves are too short. I am a tall woman and have long arms so I am a little sad it does not fit. I will follow up with customer service to see if I cant swap out my items.
We're sorry to hear the proportions of this Better Sweater weren't quite right for you. We hope you can get some great recommendations and measurements from our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/)!

Warm and Festive
I gave this sweater as a gift. The recipient was very pleased with the softness of the fabric and the seasonal color, red.
I got this for my fiance. Her only complaint was that there were no pockets besides the one on the sleeve. She still loved it. Soft, warm, and looks great.
This item was what my 17 year-old daughter wanted for her birthday. She chose this particular color in order to wear it to school (other acceptable colors were out of stock). We werent sure she would like the pattern on the grey (as she is younger) but it is beautiful and actually grows on you. After reading many reviews, we decided to order a medi... Read Moreum hoping it would not be too big - she would normally wear an XS or a small depending on the fit. The medium works with very little room for anything under it. If Mississippi weather calls for it, she can layer over it. So, yes, I agree with many of the other reviewers, it is VERY important to size up at least one size. Overall, we are happy.
I decided to buy an XS based on the size chart. I am 54 and 120lbs and usually am between an XS-S depending on the brand. I kept checking other reviews for sizing help, but most of them were for L or XL products. I am going to have to return the product unfortunately because it is far too small.

I purchase the green pullover for myself and am so happy with this sweater. Its soft enough inside to wear without an undershirt. This is so warm and keeps the cold air away from my body. I especially like the neck as it keeps me warm when walking in cold climates. I plan to wear this when I snowboard this winter, too.
Ive only had the sweater for about 2 months and have only worn it a handful of times and mine is already pilling everywhere, especially along the front of the sweater. I've tried getting them off multiple times but they keep coming back. Such a disappointment considering how expensive it is
Hey Pooja, we're so sorry to hear this. We also expect longer wear out of our gear. We've emailed you to see if you'd like to send the sweater back for warranty evaluation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! If you'd like to hold onto it, and attempt to remove the pilling, that is an option as well.

1/4 zip
Ordered a medium, which I wear in most things but needed to up size for a large. The exchange process was VERY easy, and relatively quick. Overall very happy
I am a small build 5'7" 128 lb female. I do not understand why the medium is too small and the large is too long? Plus.. I wear a small in the down sweater. (?) I am no longer able to purchase anything on line from Patagonia because of the size differences-unfortunately I do not live close to a retail Patagonia, what to do.

I have two 1/4 zip sweaters and one full zip sweater. They are an easy go-to for working at home, and I dont have to change to go ride my horse.

Not only does it look wicked sharp, (I am constantly receiving compliments whenever I wear it), it is also super warm. Its light weight so its perfect to use as a top layer and fits fine in a pack. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
This is exactly what I was looking for as far as style, quality and warmth. Unfortunately Patagonia does not serve the tall community. I am a taller woman with longer arms.

Very warm and stylish
I returned this sweater three times because the sizing is so off. Your customer service is absolutely exceptional but I am surprised at your sizing. I will continue to buy products from you.
I like the material and it definitely keeps me warm. The packing could have been more discreet and tougher. Im usually a size small and I order the medium to size up and I wish I would have bought a large. Its definitely professional in my setting and I cant wait to purchase another one in a different color.

I absolutely love Patagonia! True to size, lightweight, super warm without feeling suffocated. I purchased the 1/4 zip in Dark Borealis Green & I get so many compliments on the color.
I have now purchased four of these. They fit me perfectly in a size small - but I suspect that they are smaller than a typical small - so I'd suggest sizing up. They are great to layer, but also good when you just need something extra before it gets really cold. I am in PA and wear them both in May and September without any other jacket and th...

Initially, I ordered an XL since this sweater has a slim fit and reviews said that it ran small, but I exchanged it for a size large. Patagonia has an easy return/exchange system online, and the exchanged sweater shipped very quickly. Very happy with my first purchase.
Love the Better Sweater as an excellent mid layer. It's not bulk, and cozy warm. Color selections are great, suitable for all types. Washes well. Two tiny drawbacks: it's a little short in the torso and could fit just a tad more relaxed at the waist.
I normally wear a medium (5'6"/142 lbs.) but this was just a little too snug. So I returned it and ordered a large but that one was too big. So I returned that one. Some people may like the snug fit, but for me, I like a little room but not a lot. Otherwise the pullover was very nice and a unique color.
Hi Rebecca, the slim fit of the Women's Better Sweater® 1/4-Zip Fleece does hug the curves a bit more.

The sweater is so warm and comfortable, thank you for the excellent quality and good customer service. I am going to buy different colors for me and my sister.
I was introduce to Better Sweater fleece by my daughter-in-law. She is a big fan & now I understand why. Very flattering, but would recommend going up in size if you desire a less fitted look. The colors have been exactly as described. Washes well. I do hang mine to dry after just a 5 minutes in the dryer. Plan to purchase other colors!
very warm, slightly baggier fit in some areas but fits in the right places so that it's cozy and still fitted. I can wear it under a jacket in colder NYC weather and feel warm.
I have four Better Sweaters. All size large. Two purchased last year and two purchased this year. The two purchased this year are noticeably larger than the two purchased last year. I still wear all of them but two are larger then the other two.
I like the product. Warm and soft on the inside. I am all over the place in terms of sizes in Patagonia gear. My jackets are size small, my cashmere sweater is M and I got a large in this. I wanted length and movement in the piece so I went with the bigger size. The small and medium felt very short in the length.
Great fit!! And their customer service is absolutely amazing... I read the reviews and most said it ran on the small size so I ordered an XXL. It was too big so I started the exchange process for an XL instead. It was SO convenient and easy!!! I will be ordering directly from them again!!! Thank you so much Patagonia!

Theres something about a grey quarter zip better sweater that screams classic. I am so happy about the fit. I have the full zip and it fit snugly, the quarter zip is perfect. Perfect fit on the shoulders, arms, and waist. Then just the right amount of extra space in the body. Its so warm. I love it for casual wear and hiking in colder weather.
Small would have been tighter with no room for layering. Medium gave just enough room for comfort and layering possibilities. Incredible quality and feel.
warm, comfortable and stylish sweater...looks great with Patagonia tights. I generally wear a small but sized up to medium for more wiggle room. I love the green concept of Patagonia and am happy to support the company. my only criticism of this sweater is it tends to pill after a while. I machine wash it inside out and hang to dry.

I really love this quarter zip!! Ive had my eye on it for a while and got it for Christmas. I originally thought I needed a large, but got it and realized I needed to size up since it was a little tight. With that being said I really love the quarter zip. Its one of my favorite jackets.
Im 56 and weigh around 120-125. Normally Im a small, but an XS fits just fine sleeves and everything. Very happy with purchase even though color isnt quite as vibrant as picture.
I originally ordered a medium but once I tried it on I noticed my shoulders got a little wide from rock climbing. It is very true to size, extremely comfortable and warm (upstate New Yorker in the middle of winter :)).
So soft, so warm - I can easily layer underneath it for colder days. But if you prefer wearing it on your own, I suggest going with your regular size in tops, I would have been a small for a snug fit.
I purchased this fleece for winter hiking in the sierras. The fit sizing is generous. As a tall woman, I was thrilled that the sleeves were long enough to cover my wrists and the fit allows for layering. I would recommend this fleece!
I'm 5'10" about 150 lbs and have long limbs. This sweater fits perfectly on my body (form fitting) but it is pretty short (sleeves and entire body length). I also have a shorter friend who purchased a medium and it was short on her. An inch or two needs to be added to the length and sleeves (or I wish there was a "long" opt... Read Moreion). I know I could have purchased a larger size but I wanted something form fitting (with the sleeves rolled up it's really nice so I'll be keeping this sweater). I also have something else in large and it's long enough but baggy on me. Otherwise this sweater is great for when I climb, hike, etc. It's quite warm and you get kind of sweaty sometimes but it's not extremely hot. The material is very sturdy as well and so far after multiple hard uses nothing is out of place. I also purchased the sweater in "Century Pink" which is actually a burnt orange/red color that I adore. I knew what I was getting myself into with the sizing and went with the small anyway because the length wasn't that bad on the torso and I could just roll up the sleeves... This will probably prevent me from purchasing items in the future because I want something that is both form fitting and long enough.
I have the 1/4 zip better sweater in many colors. I typically take an XS in other clothing. This sweater is slightly tapered and I like a little more roominess in this style so I bought an S and I am very happy with it. It is not only comfortable, it is warm and soft.
I love the better sweater. I have several. This version would be better if it had pockets as my other versions have, side or marsupia! It does pile, so wash carefully. All and all, I wear daily in the winter, layering under my jackets. Keep new colors coming please.
Love the material and overall look for this piece. Very versatile, can be worn casually and also performs well for light outdoor activities such as hiking and camping.

Nice quality sweater with a sleeve pocket
Im all about a well-placed pocket, and the one on the sleeve is perfect for what I need to carry around each day.
I usually wear medium sized tops, but I wanted a slightly oversized sweater. So I bought one size up to achieve that look.
I have purchased several better sweaters. I love then both for casual wear and for work. We are architects and work both in the office and on job sites. These are very versatile and I love it!
Im a 56 140lb busty woman and got a size small that fits perfectly in shoulders, length of sleeves and hugs the body very nicely. Its really warm and comfortable. I tried medium but it was too big in shoulders and sleeves. It runs true to size so if you like a regular fit, dont size up.
This was a gift for a girlfriend of mine. She loves it and it fits here well. She has said on numerous occasions that it is very comfortable to wear compared to other brands.
I wear this for riding horses and while you start out cold you get heated very quickly. I was amazed that I did not sweat in this. It maintained a comfortable temperature. It's a roomy fit and very cozy. Colour selection is great.
This is a great sweater for every day wear, outdoor activities as well as work! It's definitely on the slim side. I am 5'6" but with fairly petite/narrow shoulders and it's a perfect fit. If you have wider shoulders, best to size up - but the Medium is quite a bit bigger.
Love the feel and coziness of this sweater! I read some reviews and decided to size up and Im so glad I did! Im petite, 125 lb, athletic build with a small bust and normally wear a small, but theres no way I would have fit comfortably into a small! Sooooo glad I got a medium! It fits just perfectly.
I have been hesitant to purchase this item despite the recommendations because of the price point.

My last patagonia fleece pull over was perhaps 25 years old. This new one seems to breathe so I can leave it on during a hike and not sweat so much that my t shirt is drenched. The color is great too.
I cannot say enough good things about the better sweater. I love both of mine and wear them all the time! They are cozy and durable. I bought mine a little big so I could layer. Ive bought one for everyone in my family and they all love them too.
I knew that if I was going to invest in this I had to read the reviews beforehand. The reviews were very promising!
Choosing the size was a bit of a challenge. I usually wear a M-L, size 8-10 for tops and jackets but it really depends on the material and fit. After reading many reviews some people were saying to size up for a looser fit. I was co... Read Morentemplating whether I should order the L or XL. I've ordered L's before but never XL but I went for it! So tip for anyone out there that usually wears a M-L, size 8-10, doesn't have a big chest area, plans to wear a light layer underneath, and wants a loose fit - go for the L! it should fit you just fine.
After this arrived in the mail and after trying it on, the XL is def looser fit honestly I could've gone with the L. I can prob wear a lot of layers with the XL. It's not a boxy fit for me. I just don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it and waiting. Especially because I have an upcoming trip and I was really looking forward to bringing/wearing this.
Sooo I think I'll just stick with this size and wear it bit loose/oversize. I wasn't looking for a tight fit anyway. And I'll probably order more from Patagonia in the future so now I'll know to go for an L. Happy with my purchase!
