I had a micro-d that lasted for 15y (is still going) and I decided I needed a new one--I have the cream color and it's lovely in look, the super soft fleece, breathability, warmth, wide range of uses (basically everything), durability, and classic style. I'm 5'5, 130 and always in between sizes--I choose medium which is definitely mo... Read Morere roomy than the sizing of yesteryear--the small likely would be a little better fit--but now I can layer beneath and over on the really cold days. I've even worn this on a rainy run (forgot the shell) and still stayed warm. I'm not having any issues with shedding noted by another reviewer. Seriously, massive bang for buck with Micro-D... if you're packing light for a trip--this one is an easy choice.
I have previously worn the Better Sweater for both approach hikes for climbing and working, but I needed something more lightweight to put in my pack AND something that would be neutral enough to wear for work. This fleece is perfect for both. I want to eventually get an additional color... or two!
I am pleased with how soft and comfortable this top is. It fits true to size. However, this fleece is shedding more that I would have expected. I got the mauve color and everything I touch while wearing it ends up with fleece lint all over it. It sticks to my jeans, the cloth seats on my car, the seat belt, people I hug. I have so far washed and dr... Read Moreied it twice and am still experiencing this excessive shedding.
We're sorry to hear about the fabric issue. While all knit fabrics pill to some degree, it sounds like the case is extreme with your Micro D.

Thank you for taking the time to review this product, Veronica!

Pretty pink color and perfect
Pretty pink color and perfect for anything! Lightweight yet warm.
This fleece is warm and comfortable. You can wear it anywhere. The fleece is of good quality. I have it in several colors. The weight of the fleece is light weight, but warm. It is definitely a winter go to!
Patagonia is one of a few brands that is my go to. Living in MN they are perfect for all winter activities. I use it over a turtle or with their jacket or alone. Never have been cold.
Just love the Patagonia Micro d fleece. They are perfect to wear stand alone and not scratchy next to your skin. This is my 4th one and I love every one of them. Excellent 3 season ware in Kentucky.
Love the classic cut on the sleeves. Soft material
Thin, light fleece. Just what I want. Good quality for the price. Not to warm. Perfect for long shifts at the hospital. Feels soft and looks good. Im 54 140 lb. Got two, Sm and Med. Small fits better. Kept the Med for a more relax look
I liked the lightweight fabric though I dont think it will be super warm. However, I ordered two and both have the extremely scratchy/abrasive thread in the arms. Very uncomfortable even with an undershirt. I am returning one and living with the other since I wore it already. The thread fabric is absolutely unacceptable.
Hi Alma, we would never want you to feel uncomfortable in your gear. Please feel free to begin a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time. We'll reach out to privately as well, just in case you need further assistance.

I love the micro-fleece pullover.
I love the micro-fleece pullover. It is warm, versatile, yet light weight and comfortable to wear. I have been purchasing them from Patagonia for many years and have an array of different colors.
This is a great basic fleece when you need to take the chill off. I have a couple of these. They are perfect for a light layer or need a little warmth. These are my go tos in morning or evening for something a little cuddly around the house. Love them
Love the warm light material and great for layering. Color is beautiful. It would be nice if it was a little longer (without the arms being too long) to wear with leggings. My favorite fleece.
Perfect everyday wear for me! I know a couple people with it, so I ordered one because it looked good on them, and cozy. It gives good warmth, along with movability with my everyday life, fit's true to size!
Soft cozy and looks great - my last one wore out too soon. I agree with the fair trade ethics of this company and am delighted that they fix my clothes as needed.
Bought this looking for a heavier base layer or as a light jacket. It fit well and weight was what I wanted but the stitching on the inside of the arm seams made this very scratchy and uncomfortable. I will be returning.
This is the perfect fleece for someone like me. I wear it for everyday casual wear, as a top over a long sleeve shirt in spring and fall, and as a layer under my winter jackets. It always looks good, washes well, and is great as an all purpose top for travel. Buying another. I am just under 5'4'' with broad shoulders and an athletic ... Read Morebuild, and the small fits well.
Very nice, soft, washes nicely. Medium is bigger than I need but wanted to make sure it wouldnt be too small. Small would have been fine but the medium doesnt look sloppy, just loose. I love these tops!
Wonderful fleece for early Spring, light weight but still provides warmth. Perfect size medium. Washes well with no shrinking Great quality, reasonable price.
Started with a medium. Just like I got in Breck last year. Way too big. Then ordered a small. Still too big. Fabric great but dont think it shrinks so had to return both. Sadly!
Hello Christine, we are sorry to learn that the sizing did not work out on the pullovers and you had to return them. We are always happy to provide garment measurements for comparison if that helps.
The fabric is a nice lightweight fleece. Unfortunately the seams inside the shirt are very rough and itchy. The fit was also slightly off. Didnt seem like the normal quality for Patagonia.
Thank you for your feedback on the Patagonia Women's Micro D? 1/4-Zip Fleece . We are of course sorry to hear that it did not work out for you. You are always more than welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) any item that does not work out for you.

Too short.
Its too short. Should be made a few inches longer.

Great fleece
I have many of these from different years and some I like better than others. This is thy type I like best; soft, stretchy and warm. It does fit a bit bigger and in this version an extra small would probably have fit a bit better. I kept it anyway because I really like it.
Medium Way too big. Then ordered small. Still way too big. Fleece doesnt shrink I dont think will return both. Have a medium for 2020 that is great. Except for long sleeves that I am very used too. Shirt arms. These two new ones just not right
We appreciate your feedback, Chris! We haven't changed the design on this fleece top since 2017, so we're not sure why the fit hasn't been accurate on this one. We recommend reaching out to your local [Patagonia-owned store](https://www.patagonia.com/store-locator/) or to our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to help with a quick and easy return, in addition to recommending a different fleece or sizing!

Soft and Comfortable
I have six of these fleece tops and they are my "uniform" throughout the cold New England winters. The fit is spot on...semi fitted but not at all clingy. It's not too bulky so fits comfortably under jackets and it keeps your neck warm in place of a scarf. I always cut the super long care tags out so they don't scratch against m... Read Morey skin, but unfortunately on this one I mistakenly cut a small hole in the garment in the process. I wish that the tags were merely attached by a thread the way they are in other lines of clothing so that they are removed more easily instead of sewing them into the seam of the garment.
The fleece is really well made & fits me perfectly. I love how its not bulky or too long- hard to find in fleeces. I bought it in white & its really pretty- very happy with it. It is my first Patagonia fleece!
Trim but with broad shoulders, I am always right between a medium and a large in patagonia tops; the medium is a perfect fit on its own or over a cami.
Several reviews said this ran small so I bought medium. Its bigger than I like, should have ordered my usual small, but it doesnt look sloppy so Im ok with it. Very nice feel and look.
Perfect light weight fleece for multi-use. Wear alone for dinner at the pub, layer for skiing, over a light base layer for hiking. Fabulous fit. Roomy across shoulders and arms but trim (not tight or skimpy) on body. I bought one of these quarter zips because it was so good looking, but then came back and bought two more because they fit so perfect... Read Morely. I plan to live in this shirt until summer!
These arrived promptly and they were very well made. Unfortunately, the purple top was cut more narrow than the white top. The sleeves were way way too long and out of proportion to the length of the tops. I had to return them. Great company to deal with.
Hello Sharon! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the sizing. This feedback is greatly appreciated as it helps us improve fit for future seasons. We've shared your comments with our design crew.
I would buy this in every color and live in them if I could! So far I have one in navy and one in blackIm coming back for more. This should be a staple item for Patagonia.
This fleece is not too thick or too thin, it's just right! I enjoy that it's not too heavy, yet keep me warm. It's my favorite layering piece for skiing hands down.
I normally wear a small. Initially I ordered a small but returned it for a medium. Excellent return policy at no charge for an exchange. Will be purchasing more from them in the future.
The Micro-D 1/4 zip is one of my favorite tops for several reasons. I spend a lot of time outdoors and the weight is perfect for a range of temperature conditions. The zip allows me to breathe if I get too stuffy and the fabric doesn't pick up odors. I have several of these tops that get worn a LOT because I love them. Highly recommend
We appreciate your feedback on the fabric and sizing. The Micro D series is our lightest weight fleece, so if you're looking for a warmer, heavier mid-layer or outerwear, we would be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) you return it and recommend different products. Thanks for the review, Karen!
I love this fleece. I destroyed my first white Micro D lighting cheap matches that sent the match head right into my fleece on too many occasions. I replaced it with a dark blue Micro D, but left that one home on a recent trip to the USA. When I saw the green one at the Patagonia outlet in Santa Cruz, CA I bought my third one and have been wearing ... Read Moreit most days. This fleece is much more comfortable than a sweatshirt and better than a pullover sweater with its 1/4 zipper and collar that provide a cozy cover for cool morning air. I think the Micro D would be too hot for many of the categories you list such as yoga, running, and climbing, but I wear it walking and sailing and most of all reading on the terrace before the sun rises.
I first bought this in a large because I have long arms and wanted to make sure it fit but it was too big even with a layer underneath, so I got a medium instead! Its a great layering piece and fits under all my jackets. I can wear it standalone or with a shirt on underneath.

This fleece is the perfect weight for casual wear. It's thin enough to fit easily under a jacket, yet warm enough to wear without an under layer in cold weather.

I'm 5'4", 120 lbs. and the size S is nearly perfect. The only thing I'd change is the sleeve length. I wish they were an inch shorter. I got this in two different colors and will likely buy a couple more.
This is my fifth time buying this fleece because it's so warm and I can wear it anywhere. The only thing is it runs small after a few washes like the Capilene. I may order the next size next time.
I used this fleece for 500 miles on the AT this past summer. It is durable and held up well. I used it nearly every night and it gave me the perfect amount of warmth I needed. I normally wear a size small but it was too big so I ordered an XS. Additionally, this is the most lighweight fleece I have found even though the fleece isn't marketed i... Read Moren this manner. I'm a gram weigher and this jacket weighed in lighter than noted in the specs. It is much lighter than Melanazanas and lighter than the Mountain Hardwear lightweight fleece (which weighed in heavier than the noted specs).
This fleece is warm without being bulky, it fits well over a base layer and under a hard shell jacket, it's long enough, and the sleeves are long enough, without being too long. (I'm 5'5" and measure size 12 on the size chart.)
I ordered this to replace an old fleece. It is beautifully made, soft and exactly the color I wanted (Birch White). I'm 5'4 and 125 lbs. The small fits perfectly. Highly recommend.
I wanted a thinner layer for outdoor activities and this fit that bill- just doesnt fit me great. Im in between sizes and went up- and its pretty lose fitting. But Id rather that than too tight. Will be great under a shell for its price tag!
Thanks for your feedback, Kate! This Micro D fleece is a "regular" fit and you may prefer a "slim" fit fleece like our [R1 Daily Zip-Neck](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/womens-fleece?prefn1=fit&prefv1=slim). Let us know if you need any help to return or exchange.

Soft and cozy
This is my second purchase of this light weight fleece They are perfect for everyday all day wear
This is my 3rd fleece quarter zip from Patagonia. The quality of the fleece even after 2 years wash is great! I work outside with horses every day. So when I wanted another like this, I looked at the competitors and they were not what I knew would last and be warm. So I ordered 2 more for this winter! Love this weight and this product.
I love this shirt. Im going to order a bunch more. Its so soft and fairly warm. Navy looks great on me. Im 52 and 115 pounds. XS fits well. Its a little loose, but I think that adds to the comfort.
I got this to have as an option rather than always wearing the snap-t pullover. I am planning to use for skiing but its great and super comfortable for everyday wear for now til the snow comes. It is on the thinner size compared to many of the other Patagonia fleeces but thats exactly why I got it. I also love the light purple color!
Hello Ellen, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry the fabric was not to your liking. If you change your mind, you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the pullover.

Super Cozy
The softest fleece you can seriously wear all day long without being too hot or cold in them! I own several colors now, cant wait for the cooler weather to be here!!!
By far, this fleece, is one of my favorites!!!
First, let me say I just recently moved to Alaska and was in need of a fleece. I did a lot of searching and decided on this one! I never take it off! Its very warm and it fits perfectly. I currently weigh about 160 lbs and its just roomy enough to wear a shirt underneath. The sleeves are long enough and the quality is awesome! Am planning on gettin... Read Moreg more this winter!

Im a super happy camper️
I live in the South, and we have mild weather. This fleece is perfect for that slight 60-70 degree breezy morning or evening, or just to layer. Soft, comfy, flattering. Great price, and great quality!
Easy and comfortable. Has a nice look. Warm despite its lightness. I prefer the dark colors. The reddish shades are always a little disappointing. Thats why Ive given it 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
My boyfriend insisted that I have a Patagonia jacket. I refuse to spend lots of money on myself so the moment he saw an opportunity, he took it, and I'm very thankful he did! This jacket is so comfy and soft! I absolutely love it and would recommend this brand and jacket to friends! Very durable too
I find this to run rather large. I have this same fleece from 2 years ago and the newer ones are way bigger than what they used to be and the sleeves are really long. I still wear it because it is perfect for the colder months
I am an outdoorsy person who also likes to wear a light warm top indoors during the winter. Have been buying the micro-d zip neck for years and before that the beloved micro-d hoodie which seems to have disappeared. Boo!
I still have a worn-thin light grey micro-d hoodie I slipped on over my wedding dress back in 2003 at our after party at the old... Read More timey beach house we rented on Wrightsville Beach, NC. I slip into the old grey hoodie every night to wind down for the day. My husband said the other day - you know you can buy a new top. Besides the sentimental factor...Patagonia is no longer offering the best hoodies in the world.
As a longtime customer, I have a few requests:
1. Bring back the micro-D hoodie!
2. Logo tag back at the hip, please.
3. I love all the neutrals but perhaps sprinkle a couple of joy colors into the seasonal palette. French blue and a canary yellow like the joyful Prada coat Amanda Gorman wore on Inauguration Day. Stunning.
4. Consider designing an elbow sleeve micro-d tee or zip neck for warmer yet still cool temps.
Thanks so much!
I love this sweater so much I just bought it in two more colors!! The best part about it is the shape - somehow its just so flattering. Not boxy, just perfectly tapered to give your torso a bit of womanly curve. Soft, breathable, wonderful quality, and of course goes with so much. Im 58 and 190lbs with a longer torso and the Large fit perfectly. Se... Read Moreriously, this might be my favorite piece of clothing ever. Just buy it.
The color is very pretty when you see it in person. It also keeps me warm as well. I mostly use at work since the hospital is always so cold (Im an RN). Its a little baggier on the bottom than I was expecting. I was hoping for a more fitted fit like the full zip fleece.
I really love this micro fleece. Ordered online so I was a bit worried it would run small, but I ordered my regular size (XL, I'm a size 12/14) and it fit perfectly. I now need this in every color, but it's so popular that this style is hard to get a hold of. It's comfortable and lightweight but plenty warm. It's a little too wa... Read Morerm for temps above 45°F-50°F, but temps any cooler than that and this is my go-to.
I needed an in between layer as my old fleece had seen its last days. I have worn this under a parka skiing, under a shell for snow shoveling, as a light out layer over a t-shirt. It is very versatile as a layering piece. This is solid piece to have in your wardrobe.
A great lightweight fleece that transcends 4 seasons. Its all about the layering. Sometimes l feel like the neck could be a smidge taller - but all-in -all this top is a must have!

My Go To, so comfy, so warm, needs pockets,
This sweater is my favorite. It's the one I think of when I'm running out the door. I got a medium for layering and didn't want something more fitted. I love this sweater so much I bought one for both my sisters. Dries super quick after wash, don't need to put it into the dryer. The only thing I wish it has was pockets. I often ... Read Morefind myself trying to put my hands into non-existent pockets. I would still buy this over again. I hope they don't change the material because it keeps me warm when it's cold and I don't get too hot when it's warmer out. Different color options would be nice, but no bigs.
Sizes inconsistent with others that I ordered in same size. Love the product but am having a hard time finding correct size. Some mediums are more like a size large when held up to others I ordered in medium. Quality is excellent and worth the money. Four star only due to sizing issue.
Love the fit of this top! The zipper is the perfect, not too short. Length hits mid-hip, not bulky or too long. Its a great weight, not too heavy/hot. The collar is great not too tall or floppy.
I loved the fit. I like my fleeces a little large on me so the fit was great but the seams were terribly uncomfortable in the arms of the fleece. Im a little sensitive but would have had to wear a layer underneath. I returned it. If they change the stitching in the future I would totally buy it again.
We are incredibly sorry to hear the sizing wasn't right on this fleece. Please know you are always welcome to exchange or [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time!

I like the soft, stretchy fabric. However, the cut is pretty boxy and masculine for my taste. It would be great to have a more feminine cut. Please design womans tops for women. Thanks!
I am a size 8 and normally wear size medium in Patagonia clothing, but I purchased these fleece in an XL so that it had a more relaxed and roomier fit. I am absolutely in love with this piece!

I do not understand why every Patagonia product I have bought runs small. Even on the website descriptions, I have seen mentioned that "it runs small". The medium 1/4 zip fleece I returned fit okay, but with no room for layering even a tee underneath. Maybe it's time for Patagonia to review its size standards?
Have been wearing micro fleece for years. While this product is excellent I would prefer a smaller micro fleece as well as I layer my fleeces. My only complaint is no thumb holes in sleeve ends and very limited on colors. Amazingly these were only ones I could find. I shop athlete and title nine and no micro fleece.
The micro d quarter zip is my very favorite top. Over the past 6 years or so I have purchased several of them. I recently purchased 2 more this fall. The difference in the weight of the fleece was immediately noticeable. Much lighter and thinner. Hopefully that will not change the warmth or ow it wears.
I loved the first one I bought so much that I bought another. My first one I have had for a few years so I bought a new one. Cozy comfy and dries quickly if it gets wet.
This fleece is so soft, cozy and just the right weight for fall hikes and layering. I purchased the Chicory Red which is a rich burgundy or merlot color. Totally impressed with online ordering, as delivered only three days after the order was placed!

so soft and comfortable, I find myself wearing this all the time. slip over a tee on cool morning walks or chilly evenings at home & everywhere you go!
