I was hoping that this item could be a spring-summer-fall evening jacket, so when I went to our local Patagonia store to try it on, I discovered that they didn't keep it in stock, even though it was late April. The only option I had was to order the item, unexamined, online. When it arrived, it was tight, particularly around my arms, which was... Read More odd. And it wasn't as though I could just order a larger size since the arms were also too long and, so, would be way long larger. Another thing, the feel was very clammy from the fleece, hardly the evening wear item for which I hoped, so I just gave up and returned it.

UBER COMFY
LOVE IT only thing I would add is inside pockets for snacks and accessories. I work in healthcare and we have a plethora of gear in our pockets
Excellent fleece jacket. Soft, comfortable and reasonably warm. Excellent mid layer or can be worn as an outer layer in Spring or Fall. Its breathable and you can wear it whole day. Looks elegant. I was satisfied with the first jacket and ordered the second within a week.
Great product. Good job Patagonia!
Initially, I was surprised how light it was. Then I tried it on. Very stylish and perfect for Spring temps and evenings. As usual, I am sure it will wear like iron. Have worn it a number of times and already enjoying it. An inside drop pocket would be nice to have. I am 6-2/240 XXL is perfect. I also am proud of the fact that this is made with recy...

Micro-D jacket:
Slightly lighter weight, thin fleeceI gather from online reading its closest to a 100g fleece weight. I think its like 75% of the total weight of Synchilla jacket. You can feel the difference if you have them next to each other but its subtle if youre not familiar with both. Sort of like a long-sleeved t-shirt made of fleece. Fits ... Read Morea little snugger/slimmer than Synchilla jacket, but not much. Hand pockets have no zippers (as of Fall 2021)this makes the garment a little lighter-weight and less bulky, but pockets are smaller and less secure. Similar lightweight mesh pocket lining. No cloth pull tab on zippers
Synchilla jacket:
Mid-weight fleece, slightly heavier than Micro-D. Closest to 200g weight from other brands. More like a sweatshirt made of fleece. Relaxed (but not baggy) fit. Zippered hand pockets that are quite large (interior of pocket runs from side seam to middle zipper, and is maybe 8-10 tall).
Both jackets:
Similar chest pocket. Hem and cuffs are not gathered/cinched. Fleece is soft to the touch, dries quickly in open air, and holds up well to washing. Not fancy but super practical, comfortable, and warm per weight. Lack of fancy features like hem cinch keep it relatively affordable and reduce moving parts to create an accessible, eco-friendly, and long-lasting garment.
I have owned and used the Micro D Fleece jackets for many many years. They provide a very versatile layer with a wide variety of uses depending upon the season, weather and layering. I believe it is an essential part for a adaptable outdoor and indoor system.
Ive been looking for a thin fleece jacket for a while and have tried many. This was the first one that was exactly the thinness that I wanted. What exceeded my expectations is how soft and warm it is as well. And the fit was just right.
Im a health care provider so this jacket fits me perfect over my scrubs. This is my first Patagonia product ever.
Looks and fits are perfect.
Unfortunately, my son whos a college professor and likes the jacket so much has borrowed this jacket for good.
Im ordering new ones for me but they are out of stock.
GREAT product

A must have.
I just reviewed this product under a smaller size. I wear one as an undergarment (tight fit) and another as a top garment (looser fit). Please see prior review.
The best. I bought one in S and M for different scenarios. A lightweight, high quality, multi-functional top. If there was one thing I would wear all the time, it would be this!
A great fleece jacket which I have in several colors. Either as an outer layer on cool days or as a layered piece under another jacket on colder days, this jacket is versatile, soft, warm and looks great. My only suggested improvement is adding zippers to the side hand warmer pockets. You can loose items
This is exactly the product I was looking for. I already own a thick, heavyweight Patagonia full-zip fleece jacket, which I've owned for decades and which I've taken around the world several times. I wanted something cooler. Micro D fleece is it!
While just received this, the timing is ideal for this jacket. The temps have ranged from upper 20s to low 50s, sometimes in the same day! It has been great as an outer top layer, with either just a shirt or a hoodie. On snowy or rainy days it works well under a rain shell.
So far it is casual wear, running errands, downtown walks, and a few ligh... Read Moret day hikes.
I do really like the pocket placement and size.
This coat may not be the primary winter coat once full on winter hits, but for now it sure is earning its keep and am very happy with it.
Nice fit and pockets; very soft and very light weight which is what I wanted. Tall zip up collar really very effective against the cold. I would buy it again.
I have these in almost every color. I love them! Unfortunately the new versions have a different piece of fabric lining the collar than the old and it's not good. It negatively affects the way the jacket sits on your neck, scratches you, and looks like wrapping paper ribbon. I have to have them removed by a tailor. I would give this 5 stars if... Read More Patagonia would go back to the old construction.
While I am not that tall, I had trouble with sizes. The L was too small for my shoulders and arms. Exchanged for an XL, and the garment was too long but like the L, the arms are extremely tight so that it was not comfortable.
I initially purchased this as a mid-layer under a shell, but I found that it works perfectly as a lightweight and warm jacket over a t-shirt. It's comfy to wear inside and works well as a running jacket, too. It's my new favorite!
It's literally the best. Light weight and the perfect level of warmth for out layer and midlayer. PERFECTION - best price point in all Patagonia jackets.
This was a replacement item for one I'd worn out all of the elastic in the cuffs so it hung too long. The new updated version is a perfect fit without the use of elastic in the cuffs. Love it. Great service. Terrific product.
This is a great lightweight fleece. Needed a new zip-up for the approaching cool weather, and this will work perfectly. Provides nice warmth without being bulky, and it just simply looks sleek and high quality. Checked out several brands when shopping around, but should have known to look at Patagonia first. Would have saved myself some time. Recom... Read Moremended.
Well I've had this light weight jacket for probably nearly 20 years and I am now glad to be buying jacket #2. Great build quality, looks great, and it is perhaps this most multi-functional piece of clothing I have owned and will continue own again.
The perfect full zip light weight for me to use across a wide variety of day in day out stuff. Little cool on the porch works great. Great middle layer for those strenuous days moving tower pads on Ski Patrol. It has become my go to lightweight this year.
Lightweight non woven jacket , perfect for cool weather or cold office or classroom. Rolls up small enough to stash in backpack. Men's style has additional zipper chest pocket. This is my go-to jacket . Just add another layer for colder weather. Holds up in light rain too.
Great light weight fleece Jacket for cool mornings and evenings. I usually wear with only a tee shirt. Good quality and the fit is perfect. I own several of these same fleece jackets.
Hi. I love so many Patagonia products but I've always wondered why you don't carry more big & tall sizes on some of your mainstay products. There are so many things I've purchased that I've had to return because they just don't fit right (too short). You cater to a very specific sized clientele and limit your ability to... Read More get the big & tall size customer. There are many products that just run (a little) too short, so for me personally a longer size would be a much more welcome addition. I'm happy to answer additional questions if needed.
Hi Robert, thank you so much for the review. We're currently working to add more sizing options and we appreciate the feedback. Our Design team often looks at reviews, so your feedback will be taken into consideration. Thank you once again for taking the time to offer you constructive criticism.

Lighter weight fleece
Soft and thinner fleece, perfect for when weather is a little cooler.
Both Micro D garments are comfortable, lightweight and 4-season wear even here in Maine -- as layering garments in cold weather or over a tee in warm weather.
Understand the price point game - but Micro D clothing would fit better, look better and thus be even more versatile with the same stretchy binding (hem and sleeves) found on many other Patag... Read Moreonia fleece clothes.

The Micro-D jacket is the best. Lighter in weight fleece, very comfortable sizing, great for layering. I have been buying this jacket for many years and one of the reasons is that the hand pockets do not have zippers. One of the few jackets you can find like that. I wish it was offered in forge grey. Love this Patagonia fleece.
Great Fleece. I have two of them. Black and Gray. I put down that this runs kind of small. It is more a slim fit than other fleeces. But it looks nicer and less boxy than others.
I will skip most of the many reasons I find this to be one of my most favorite cool weather jackets. They have been mentioned many times by others. But regarding the weight of the material, this is not a 100 wt polyester as some might think. Doing the math you will find that 4.7 oz/yd2 is ca. 160 gm/m2
This is my second Micro D jacket, and I love the fit. The fleece is not too heavy or too light. I like the pockets without zippers. It's a terrific fleece jacket.
This recycled fleece jacket is very soft & comfortable, fit is perfect & the quality is outstanding, the only improvements I suggest is make the two hand pockets zippered, add an interior drop-in pocket with Velcro closure, and add a zipper garage at the neck. I would be willing to pay more for these additional features
I love it because its not too thick but perfect for casual or going to gym. I also take this jacket for hiking when its a little cool day. Its not bulky so that it fits into my small bag that i usually take for hiking or biking.
I have 4 micro d fleece sweaters and jackets. They are breathable and warm. I wear them to work over a dress shirt and for a hike or just lounging. This is my favorite product and the value is incredible.
So far I'm very impressed by the quality and comfort of this jacket. It fits better than expected and I'd wear it every day if my wife let me :-) I can wear it as a standalone jacket if it's a bit chilly out or as a base layer when it gets really cold. Exactly what I was looking for.
My husband is very happy with this jacket. I had purchased the womens jacket some years ago and have always loved mine, especially the fit, which is not too long or wide, and the zippered pockets. A lightweight fleece is definitely a great wardrobe staple for many folks. I saw that youre offering the micro d in a quarter zip, which while nice, just... Read More isnt as versatile as a full zippered jacket. Also, I purchased one of the jackets for my daughter and was disappointed to see no zippered pockets. She kept it because she liked the thin material. I also bought this item for a daughter-in-law who wanted a thin jacket that she could wear inside or outside and still be presentable for zoom calls. I hope you keep this classic in your line. It would be great if you offered either petite or short options.
Always had the Micro D pullover and saw the jacket in this perfect green. It is just the right weight and my go to for flights and kicking around town. And with the climate change in DC it doesnt get too cold ;) for your more substantial fleeces.
Great jacket for layering. The last one I bought (exact same model) had sleeves too long, was big in the belly, and both are a bit long to fit under a couple of my shells.
I like this light jacket. Warm. Fits a bit large but that's good for me. Chest pocket is convenient. Collar could use more support. No pull tabs on zippers? 4.5 stars.
Seriously, just right. Relaxed fit, cozy, warm, lightweight - what more could you ask from a fleece? I already owned the pullover version of this, so when it went on sale I bought two of the zip up jackets. Good job Patagonia!
The quality and fit of this jacket are great. Perfect for transitional periods (Spring and Fall) and will layer nicely for winter as well. I'm 6'3" and skinny, this fit perfectly.
I've only had this jacket for a little over a week, but am already crazy about it. It is lightweight enough to wear when it isn't super cold outside, but still warm enough to block the wind. I'm thinking about ordering another one in other colors!
I had to return the jacket because not only was it too small, I wear a size XL, it’s more like a long shirt than a jacket. This is a stylish item but not what I had intended it to be, need something a little heavier and warmer.
Most fleece jackets are designed for cold outdoor weather which means that you bake when you're indoors or driving somewhere. The micro-D is thin enough to be worn everywhere (the same weight as the old Polartec 100 rating). A rare find!
[Note that the sizes seem slightly large to me, about a half-size up.]

Underrated & Under-Appreciated
Easily my favorite Patagonia top. I have two (black and gray). Once you consider quality, price and the number of times you can wear it over the course of the year, for me, it's easily the most underrated and under-appreciated piece of Patagonia clothing I own. Simple, classic, quality. Patagonia at it's best.
I don’t know what magic was woven into this jacket but it has an uncanny ability to provide me exactly the amount of warmth needed for the temperature situation at hand. If it’s really cold out, it delivers me lightweight toasty warmth. If it’s just breezy and cool, it shelters me without overheating. If I’m at the movie theater with the AC blastin... Read Moreg, it keeps me perfectly comfy. Plus it takes up hardly any room, so it’s a cinch to keep handy. Worth every penny and more.
I love the Micro D. It is the perfect weight for early morning and evening when the weather starts to turn cooler. It is also great for layering. The best part, it is incredibly soft and cozy. I love it!
Very versatile. Incredibly comfortable and fits so well. (L) for me at 5'11" and 183# is just right … neither snug nor overly loose. MOST of all, it feels so good I do not want to take it off. It is tempting to lower the thermostat on my a/c so I can wear it in the house.
I bought this as a base layer for the Inca Trail. It was perfect for that, and now I find myself wearing it just about everyday, whether around the house, running errands, or going out casually with friends. Definitely appreciate the full zip (as opposed to pullover); it’s very convenient.
I have been wearing this jacket as a middle or outer layer all winter for alpine skiing,ski touring and hut trips. It's the perfect layer for almost any winter activity. I love the full-zip front for ventilating when climbing. The handwarmer pockets are great for stashing a hat while skinning. The chest pocket works well for my phone/GPS when ... Read Moretouring. The Micro D fleece is just the right weight for most activities. I add or remove other layers as needed. I hope that additional colors are added,red would be my first choice.
This is a simple but valuable fleece. I can wear it to the office,it's warm for those 50's days,soft,and comfortable. The fit is great,I'm 6'1 225 muscular build and the XL was perfect. Will be buying more in other colors.
Purchased Micro D two weeks ago,this is an all around little workhorse.
Works well as light weight fleece,under a parka,roll up and fits in travel bag.
I am 5'11,160 lbs,Medium is perfect.
I bought the Micro D for a trip to Europe,I usually take a water proof shell and a fleece jacket with me when traveling and by layering I can usually do well regardless of the weather changes. The Micro D is the perfect fleece for travel,it is light weight and packs in is small space,it is warm and fits under a rain shell easily,it's very soft... Read More and made my trip much easier. Best travel fleece jacket you can buy!
I own the 85% recycled Micro D,live in it. This one is softer with 100% recycled. Soft is what I want. This one nailed it! Patagonia,I know you are going to come out with MORE COLORS soon. If we could see a light blue or maybe a dark purple! Omg. Anyway,this one is definitely worth having even with the limited colors.
