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!
I love my micro D zip jackets and quarter zip tops: just the right amount of warmth for layering or wearing alone. I can easily fit another light top under my size S micro D's. I would love love love the micro D as a vest as an alternative to my my better sweater and synchilla vests. I prefer vests around the house in the cooler months and for...

I needed a new Mid-layer to go hiking a couple 14ers. This was perfect especially for in the cool morning. Super soft. Really happy with this purchase. Fits perfectly.
The Micro-D Fleece tops are perfect for cool fall mornings and for indoor wear on cold winter days. If there were more colors, I would buy them. And I would wear a cardigan or full zip version if available.
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!

Super soft and comfortable, I can wear this over a t-shirt and feel cozy yet never overheating. Sleeve length is good. Nice, standard fit, not slim, and definitely not oversized. Would buy again if it ever wore out!

I am a medium in my Patagonia jackets, vest and better sweater, so I requested this as a gift at Christmas. It fit when I got it, but seemed to shrink after washing (fleece shrinks, wait, what?) and is now hanging in my closet, not getting worn because everytime I put it on it makes me feel lumpy and sad.

Warm and Comfortable - True to size
I am 5'6 142 athletic, and usually a size in pants and S/M in tops. I ordered a small per the size guide, it fits great! It flatters my figure but doesn't squeeze it. You're able to wear a shirt under it and have good movement. I ordered the powder blue and I LOVE it. Also, most importantly, it fits the same after washing it. Good bu...

I purchased the Beluga color on sale from another vendor. I wore the shirt for the first time this week and it left lint on everything it touched. I immediately threw it in the wash followed by an air dry and it's still shedding lint. Can anyone tell me how many washes it will take before I can leave the house without a lint roller? Otherwise,... Read More it's cloud soft; I love the color; and I love the roomier fit, especially in the sleeves. (5'8" 170 lbs; hourglass)
Thank you for the feedback and we are sorry to hear how much your sweater is shedding. When products are new, they tend to shed more but this should ease up overtime. Nonetheless, if it doesn't or you find that you'd like to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it, please feel free to do so.

Everyone tries to steal this from me
As one of the more affordable options for fleece, this really is worth every penny. Its a lighter fleece than other alternatives from patta gucci, and is so comfortable to wear gear round.

Initially this fleece fit fairly well, although it was smaller than the R1 pullover I have (both are size M)... however after washing it seems to have shrunk in the arms and torso, both are shorter now.

Hi Jessica, thanks for your review! We're really sorry that this shrunk significantly, however. We recommend washing this fleece in cool to cold water and dry it on the lowest heat setting to avoid shrinkage. Please feel free to return it under warranty if you're unsatisfied with the fit.
Totally disappointing when items do not run true to size. A lot of money to spend on something that doesn’t have reviews but we live and learn. If buying this product definitely size up a size!
I bought one of these years ago and now i wanted another. I am so glad that some things just don't change that significantly and one can trust what you are getting when you order online. The design IS different but the intent of fit is the same. Thank you Patagonia for a great product.
The quality has gone down vs previous others in the same style. The material was peeling off in little balls right out of the package. I purchased one for my gf and the men’s for myself. I have purchased 4 of these in the past and the material was better quality.
Hi Don! Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry to hear about the pilling issues you've been having. Unfortunately, all fleeces have a tendency to pill. We recommend washing your fleeces by hand in cool-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. Of course, you are absolutely welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it under warranty if needed.
Hi Melinda, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear that the 1/4 zip didn't fit quite right. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) for the next size!
I am returning theWsMicro 14-zip.
I wore it with a white tee underneath. When I took micro D off the tee was covered with pills from the 14-zip. They were difficult to remove from the tee. Had it been another color like brown or black
It would have been harder as the pills were kind of embedded in the cotton fabric of the tee.
This is the second Micro D sweater for me. So warm and stylish. Love the cut and how it feels. Easy for layering or just wearing alone on warmer days. Love it!
This is a lightweight, perfectly fitting, warm pullover. The Big Sky Blue color is very pretty. I'll be using it to layer under a lightweight jacket on a ski trip and using it all 4 seasons in Wisconsin.
Super soft, has some stretch, great for layering. I'm in between a M and L - went with the large - it is roomy but not oversized. Sleeve length is perfect - my arms are longish so many times sleeves are just a bit too short - these just cover my wrists and if I pull them down cover most of my hands. I would love to see this with a longer sleev... Read Moree and thumb hole added - that would be DEVINE! Picked up the navy blue and black for now - the balsamic looks nice too - may be the next purchase?! Plan to wear when hiking, walking and even to work. The styling is just simple and classic, can see wearing these for a long time. Also, the zipper works great and does not scratch your neck, bonus!
This material is thick and not my favorite. I sure miss this old micro-d's. The soft green is a nice color, however and I haven't decided if I'll keep it or return for something else. The material feels soft, but looks so un-natural.
This is the second of the Micro D sweaters that I have bought. I love the dark jade green color and love it as a layering piece! Will most likely buy another as more colors come out.
Medium was too small; exchanged for a large; large was same size medium and sleeves on large were shorter than the medium!!
Product runs small and not true to size. I wear a size 6 pant and a solid medium for the top.
Hi Karen! Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're sorry to hear about the trouble you've experienced with sizing. Please note that your satisfaction is guaranteed so you're welcome to return it to us. We'll reach out directly with further assistance!

Micro D 1/4 zip
Perfect fall layer. Warm and breathable. Soft and stylish. I think the fabric will wear very well.
I've worn this fleece twice and I love the navy blue color. The medium fits perfectly (5'6", 130lbs), which is not normal for Patagonia products in general for me as I seem to be in between a small and medium. The only thing I don't love about it is the fleece kind've rubs off onto my skin if I'm sweating. I wear a lot... Read More of fleece and this has never happened before. I'm telling myself it's because of the 50% recycled material, so I don't mind the shedding so much.
the old micro D was a perfect fit for my petite frame.. now the arms and torso are too long (longer than the already long arms from the previous one but i could still wear it). the material is thinner also. i miss the old micro d. it was my most favorite daily wear product from patagonia and i wear it practically all fall and winter in boston. plea... Read Morese bring it back!
Comfortable, soft, warm and lightweight. Only minor thing is that I didn’t know it’s on the thin side - I have a synchilla and that one has a thicker material. They both are nice fleece though.
This pullover is my new favorite. It is light weight, but very warm. The medium fits perfectly (I'm 5'7", 150lbs). Very soft, washes up nicely. My only wish is that the sleeves were a bit longer, but this is a normal problem for my long arms.
I absolutely love my pullover! I went camping along the coast and this held up great to keep me warm without making m feel weighed down and bulky. Plus is super soft! A win-win.
I love this sweater. It fits perfectly almost I'm gonna size down next time) I got mine in a size medium for a more loose looking fit and I can't go a day without. This is the best fleece I own.
Classic Pat quality and comfort but in great new colors. Had to get the deep jade green. Love everything about this fabric, fit and feel. My dream version of this has a slightly shorter and tighter collar, slanted front pockets, and a little more narrow in waist and hips. But these are all nit-picky variation.

good for larger chests
For those larger upstairs, 38DDD, 5'7, 153lbs. and a bit thicker in the midsection, this top works great. It could be, for me a bit bigger in the chest, but it does fit without being skin tight. Not a deal-breaker, I own three: Black, purple and the new light balsamic is awesome. They are the best-worn directly on the skin, very soft and fits ... Read Moregreat. If I wear a T-shirt under them they are not as comfortable for me but still fine as they do move since they stretch. I like how the length isn't down to your knees. I light the weight of the fleece, thinner, light but still warm. I have Large's and they fit well, not skin tight and not baggy, just right. Fair priced. I agree with others, to bring them back in a hoody.
I was encouraged that you now have a fleece hoodie, the Diamond Capra, but disappointed that it is not a more technical fit and thickness. It was probably 10-15 yrs ago I bought 2 microfleece hoodies that I absolutely love, I use them everyday and they are fantastic layer pieces for snowsports. If you could please please offer a microfleece hoody (... Read Moreprobably of this material/weight) with a tighter, more technical hood than the Capra with the same type of front pocket for both hands (similar concept to the Diamond Capra style-wise), no zipper, and just very simple sleeve cuffs, nothing too delicate and built to last, I am willing to bet they would fly off the shelfs. The 1/4 zip without a hood is less functional for me and the hood on the old version I have is so light it rarely gets in the way or caused me to overheat, fits over a beanie and adds another level of warmth.
I finally decided to invest in a nice jacket and this hasn't disappointed! It's incredibly soft and is a nice, warm temperature. I have been wearing it almost every day!
I bought this to wear to work as my office is freezing and it's perfect! It's fitted and warm while not being too heavy or feeling like im wearing a big old jacket. I wish they had more colors as I want 100 to wear everyday!
My husband and I both own several of these. My only complaint is that they don't come in more colors! How about forest green or purple? We keep our home a little on the cool side during the winter, and these are the perfect weight to keep us warm. We each buy it one size up, just for a looser fit and ability to layer.
I found this fleece sweater to be my to go item. Its very comfortable, light weight and can easily be layered. I also love the fact that it matches and goes with anything I am wearing.
I bought this as midlayer for the days when my shell and fleece vest aren't enough but my ski jacket is too much. And I'm happy to say it's perfect! I wore this with a gortex shell and a base layer when it was 6F our and was perfect! I've also had great luck wearing this to hike with a wind breaker! Just a note on the temps,I te...

For sizing I'm 5'3' and very athleticly built and the medium fits well. It fits closer to my body than my better sweater 1/4 zip.
Softer than any other patagonia fleeces with the most flattering cut as well. Very packable light and warm. Great for layering,underneath or on top. I'm 5'6,121lbs and go in between XS and S.

I got this pull over just for a simple layer. I got the Elwha Blue and I absolutely feel in love with the color in person. Tried it on and I loved the fit and comfort as well.

I bought this for a trip to Europe as I had two previous versions (not from Patagonia) that I love,but they had faded so badly that I was embarrassed to wear them. This one fits great,is really soft,and provided the warmth that I wanted.
Love this! The fit is great,it is so soft and warm. Great as a mid layer under my down sweater. Great just to wear around to the gym or for errands. Going back for more colors. I bought navy,going back for the awesome cerise and probably a black one.
