I absolutely adore Patagonia's better sweater! I am about to purchase my fourth color and I wear them constantly! They are warm, durable, and look great with almost everything.

I really love Patagonia for their commitment to environmental and social justice. My whole family wears patagonia gear but I keep having trouble fitting in their/ your clothes.

Hey Paola, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! We really appreciate your support and the feedback you provided about fit. We have passed it along to our Design Team who aim to revise and improve the style and fit of our products.
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! You have an awesome team!!!
I bought two of these sweaters in different colors. I initially ordered a Medium as this is my typical size in tops, however it was too tight in the bust. The Large fits much better although the sleeves are a tiny bit too long. I just roll them once. Super warm and comfy sweater. I can wear this with a vest outside in 20-30 degrees and still feel v...

Im very pleased with this fleece. As a tall female, I do wish it was offered in a tall size, but the sleeve length is fine. This is slightly fitted.

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.
This is my second one. The first pulled terribly. I loved the fit and the feel so much I finally bought another. 58 140 lbs. I am typically a medium in most clothes but a large in this.?

My daughter actually purchased a size Medium, and it ran very small, it is slim fit. I wear this to play tennis in and thought I should reorder it in a bigger size.

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.
I love the Better Sweaters. I am typically a size small in most things but took this in a size medium. I find it fits well but is just a bit slimmer than I would normally prefer.

This is the first Patagonia product Ive been unhappy with. This sweater runs at least a size small. I am 51 and have a big chest. The Large was tight and the arms are astronomically long. They dont look right rolled up because the inside material is different than the outside. Sad because this was a Christmas gift but will be returning.

Super Warm
5'3" 115 lbs. and debated between XS and S. I would recommend XS if you're planning to wear only a tank top underneath and S if layering over a thermal or long-sleeved shirt. I settled on the XS for a more fitted look.
This is my first time buying anything from Patagonia and I definitely am happy with this sweater! Nice and warm and has a nice fit. I am 54, 130lbs and have an athletic build.

I loved this jacket, when I first bought it. It's warm, fits great, and then comes the pilling. I have not washed this jacket once, and only worn it a handful of times and it's balled up like crazy.

Hi Audrey, we're sorry to hear about the pilling issue you've experienced. It's true that the Better Sweater is prone to pilling. 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.

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. However, it is well worth the money and one of the better pieces I have invested in upon moving to Alaska. It's shorter than I would normally prefer, the cut isn't all that flattering, but that is something that can be sacrificed for the sak... Read Moree of insulation. This keeps me TOASTY! Very pleased with it.
I like your better sweater quarter zip, I do wish that it didnt run so small. Im a size 6 and needed to buy a large. I like Patagonias quality and the length of this item. I hope that youll bring back the synchilla fleece of old, it was lightweight, soft, warm and durable. Customer of 30years.
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!
it is a nice looking sweater which has fleece on the inside and a kind of wool like outside. It has a small pocket on the right side, on the chest. I wear a M which fits. I am slender small chested but have long arms, and, the arms, fit great.
I absolutely adore this sweater! I've been meaning to get something that I could wear to the office on a casual day and to the park on another, and this absolutely fits the bill. It's very fitted so I don't feel slouchy when I wear it, and the color is absolutely gorgeous. Love it!
I love the weight of the fabric light and still warm. Sleeves a little long for me since I'm on the shorter side. Great quality as mentioned definitely a pass along to someone else when I get tired of it.
Truly cozy, and great to wear when feeling cold because of air-conditioning! I bought a size larger (M) when I usually wear small for better comfort over a tighter fit.
I have a mens Better Sweater myself and bought one for my girlfriend because I enjoyed mine so much.
She loved it and it fits perfectly; the sleeve pocket is large enough to fit a smartphone and its incredibly warm and comfortable, as well as quite stylish.
Would recommend as an excellent bit of kit. (I am, in fact, wearing it as I wrote this).
This is one of my favorites- I have two others in black and I wanted a lighter color. I wear them all ski season on cold days under my parka. I leave one in my car for cool Tahoe evenings and I use it as a morning layer too before it gets warm. It is a bulky piece so it doesn't work well for backpacking and bike packing adventures. The first o... Read Morene I purchased was about 15 years ago- it has gotten pretty pilled over the years.
I love this half zip. But I would normally wear a L but decided on an XL and it was the right decision since I use it for layering and want the comfort feel.
Typically I wear a large jacket due to my athletic body type due to CrossFit. My shoulders and back tend to be on the broad side. I ordered up after reading the other reviews. The jacket shoulders and arms are still on the narrow side. I can still fit a light long sleeve layer under the jacket. The waist area is pretty wide due to having to order u... Read Morep. One thing that does work is the coziness of the material and the collar. I do wish the collar were taller to keep out the wind.

I love the 3/4 better sweaters. This is my third one. They are warm and fashionable. I love the blended colors. They are fitted and tend to run on the smaller side, but I like my clothes to be more 'fitted'.
The top is very warm and soft on the inside. It's also on the thick side. It's not stretchy at all so I should have gotten a small. I can not layer with the XS size but it does fit well. I wish it had pockets.
I live in Upstate New York, where the winter/spring chill lasts a long time. This is a great warm pullover that works well for indoor wear, outdoor active use, and cool summer nights.

I love this Better Sweater. I first ordered the Medium, but it was too snug. I'm 5'4" and large-chested. The large fit much more comfortably. I take this sweater with me everywhere!
I wasn't sure what size to get so I bought a medium and a large. If you plan to wear anything underneath then I would go for the larger size. It is great quality, warm and well constructed. I love it!
I wear a small but typically order a medium in sweatshirts so theyre a little loose. I ordered a medium in this and it fit tight like a small would. Ive never bought a large in anything but it fits baggy and perfect!
I really wanted to love this fleece. The woven outer material is perfect to keep you warm for a hike on a brisk day. The interior is so soft. My only reservation was the fit.

I love this sweater. It's super warm, and works nicely under a jacket. It's really an outdoor sweater though, as it's not the most comfortable material for lounging at home.
I usually don't wear clothes that are too snuggly in general and after reading the reviews that this is a slim-fit, I opted for a S size and it's perfect! It doesn't look slim, but it's fine because I can layer underneath! The material is great and perfect wear for most occasions!
This top is probably one of Patagonia's most popular tops and has been reviewed widely. I'm 5'3, 110lbs and of petite frame and the XS is pretty fitted on me.

I own 7 of them now
I wear these to to the office almost everyday. I just got back from wearing one on a snowshoe trip in 32 degree weather. I took off my packable jacket and wore better sweater (Tomato color) with two layers under it. Worked perfect for preventing sweating and I was cozy warm. The bright tomato color is excellent for safety while snowshoeing.
The Better Sweater is my all-time favorite warm piece of clothing. I own a few, my oldest being over 12 years old and still in great condition despite my lifestyle and use of it.
They don’t call it better sweater for noth. Love the knit fabric very soft not scratching. Wash is well and does not loose its shape. So good I bought another.
this is the first patagonia item i've ever had, and i absolutely love it! the pullover is so warm and comfy when it's cold outside, and looks really nice when i wear it. i always get compliments when i wear it out. i mostly wear it in more casual settings or at work, so i haven't tried it while hiking outside, but i imagine it would ...

This is a great layer. Warm, comfy and practical. I usually get a women's medium in Patagonia jackets thinking I'll layer up underneath. I purchased a small in the better sweater 1/4 zip, T underneath and it fits me well. I do wish the sleeves were a touch longer and had thumb holes. Also would like a zipper garage for the neck zip .
Hi Nicky, thanks for taking the time to write us a review. We rely on feedback like this to make improvements for future season so it's truly appreciate. We've passed this along to our design crew!
Gave this item to my daughter for a gift . I have purchased Patagonia for her for around 10 years . She loved the Better Sweater in black. This item shipped very quickly to me in a very safe package. Thanks for the exceptional quality.
This sweater is warmer than I thought with such a thin layer. My work doesn't require suit, so this makes a perfect work outfit to wear. I am 5"3 and this fits great with 2 layers inside.
Gave this pullover to my soon to be daughter in law and she loved it. She actually wore it Christmas Day at our family get together. She was so happy and so was I.. Thank you
Perfect! I read reviews that said they run a bit small. Normally would order a small for my daughter, ordered a medium and it looks perfect. She loves it!
Very positive experience. Especially given the fact that after the purchase I realized had a 15% coupon which Patagonia kindly agreed to allow me to use.
My daughter wears an adult small in clothing and this was ridiculously tight and short on her. We went to a store to find another and she finally fit a large. Still did not purchase because it was just not attractive in the end.
Love the sweater and would give it a 5 but it seemed to run small. Had to buy both small and medium because it is a gift for my granddaughter. Will have to return one after Christmas. It is a well made sweater and the neutral color she azures is very pretty. We will see which one fits her better snd I will update the review after Christmas. Custome...

My girlfriend is obsessed with it!
It has become my girlfriend's daily go-to outdoor sweater. Fits her perfectly, so soft and warm, and lightweight too. The blue also goes with everything she wears!
Fit is true to size, allowing for layering under and over. This is a soft, warm sweater that can be worn alone or sandwiched for added warmth. Nice fall colors, although I'm sure this will be worn in all seasons.
Fits great and looks professional. It is a nice warm layer. Also I have an iPhone XS Max and I surprisingly can squeeze it in the arm pocket if desired.
I can see why lots of people love this. but not sure its great for me. It feels a little bulky. And in my opinion, something that bulky should have pockets! I keep looking for a place to put my hands. I like the color. but probably wouldn't get it again.
Classic warm sweater... often too warm. I like my older one better, with the same fabric collar lining instead of contrast fabric. As all my Patagonia gear, it is a bit tight through the shoulders.
I love these "sweaters"! My friend had one last year and I bought 2! And I bought 2 more this year! I am 5'5" and 115 and wear a medium, although I like things with a little room.

The quality is great, the fabric is so soft and looks durable.
I'm always between two sizes ; x-small and small.
For a less adjusted and a more versatile look I opted for the small with this model. The shape of this fleece is relaxed but not too loose, it perfectly fit under my coat when I need multiple layers.
5'2 ", 120 lbs, 32D,... Read More size small is the perfect option for me.
This is my ideal quarter zip--I basically live in it anytime it's below 60 degrees. Honestly my plan right now is to buy one per paycheck until I have every color.
Also, just FYI: I'm 5'1 and 95-ish pounds, pretty slim build but with a 36D chest and I wear the XXS and it fits well.
I absolutely love this sweater. It is WARM and the fit is amazing--true size medium. Because of the fit and design, I'm comfortable, casual, but still a tad dressy. Well done!
Always love having a better sweater around for layering. Fall just came and it is so nice to throw on a layer that is warm, looks attractive, and is very comfortable. Expect the fit to be a form fitting fit (not your typical sweatshirt looseness).
I purchased the full zip as well and this one fits a little differently. I love the knit where it keeps me warm in most conditions besides cold windy days. Also it gives a nice casual fitted look. I may try the next size up because it's a bit tight on the arms for me.
I really like this zip fleece. It's very comfortable on the inside and is made of good material. I will say it does run a little small, so it is a true Slim Fit as advertised. I actually received this fleece for Christmas last year and I haven't really been able to wear it because it is a little small. So I called and Patagonia agreed to ... Read Moreexchange it. I thought that was great customer service and I really appreciate the company for being willing to exchange it. I have muscular shoulders so one size up is good for me and if you're like me then that may be helpful for you too.
Love the color of this fleece. It is extremely cute to wear around town and yet just as fitting out camping and hiking. As the colder months role around I can already tell this is going to become a staple in my wardrobe.
I love the better sweaters they are great for working in cold weather with out being too bulky. Very easy to hike around in. I wear mine to work wear I hike in the forest almost daily.
This “sweater” is not what I expected. It wrinkles, is too heavy and is made from very unattractive fabric. If I hadn’t taken the tag off of it you’d be getting it back.
