These fleece 1/4 zips are really nice. Cozy, attractive, good quality. The sizing between different colors is not consistent. For example, I can wear and small in powder blue, but not in navy blue. Also, I wish this were in more colors! I would buy more. I have navy, black and powder blue. Id love more blue and teal, or green and maybe even red cho... Read Moreices.
This is my first Patagonia fleece sweater and I really liked it! The sizing feature on the website was very useful and the size was fitting me perfectly. Very happy with purchase!

Great lightweight polar fleece
I have 4 of these, I absolutely love them. Lightweight but warm, I live in the south and these are perfect for fall.
My granddaughter loved the quarter-zip fleece. She put it on immediately and said it felt wonderfully soft and warm. The color was beautiful. I’m very pleased with this purchase.
I love this and would wear it every day. It fits great and looks good with jeans and leggings. I liked it so much I bought another one in blue and will probably buy the burgundy too
Ive been looking all over for a good quarter zip fleece. This one is soft and cozy, and the shape is not boxy. Id say the fit is maybe a tiny bit small, but not by much. I love the color. I ordered the light blue, which I think they call purple.
I was surprised that this was warmer than my better sweater. How is that possible as its so light? The color is fabulous and it will go under or over many layers. Another great find!!!
Patagonia is a brand that delivers on quality and style yet, more importantly, uses its profits and influence to help address issues like climate change. I have been an enthusiastically loyal customer for decades.
I am still on the fence and not yet sure if I will keep this fleece, or return it. I love everything about it except for the rough seams on the inside of the sleeves.

Runs too long, but Ill keep it to wear with tights
I wanted a mid-weight fleece to wear to wear over a base layer and under a coat without bulk. This worked perfectly. I don't like when it gets bulky under the arm. The sleeves are just right length hitting at far end of wrist. Body hits mid bum so comfortable with running tights, with some modesty. Comfortable all around, not too tight or loos... Read Moree.
I have tried just about every iteration of Patagonia zip tops and this one is the most comfortable. It's not bulky. It's warm. It washes well. It's my favorite. Perfect every day for Maine falls, winters and springs.
The Micro D fleece zip jacket is my favorite and I have it in many colors. I recently had to order the 1/4 zip which is fine but I would like the full zip style. Patagonia still makes it for men and children so I dont understand why it isnt an option for women and there is only the 1/4 zip? Please bring it back!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, Alex! Please rest assured that we will pass along your feedback about wanting a full-zip version of this fleece in our Women's style to our Product Designers so they are aware of the want/need for this style.

Super comfy
Have a lot of these fleeces cant help myself soo comfy
I had been looking for this exact fleece for a really long time. I was so happy to find that Patagonia makes exactly what I was looking for. It is simply - perfect. Its cozy and warm, but not bulky. It has just the right amount of contour, so its flattering without being too snug-fitting. I love a 3/4 zip. Quality product! And so soft. I love it. I... Read More really do.
The Micro D fleece is ideal for Spring and Fall, or for layering in Winter. My wife and I wear ours frequently, indoors and out. It's a very versatile top.

I specifically bought this pullover to wear under the vest I ordered. I bought this in white so it would go with all my cords and dressy jeans. It is definitely made for warmer weather or perhaps wearing a shirt under it if it is cooler. If a fleece was ever made for more than a casual affair, this one would be it.

Have purchased 3 of these. The collar runs big and the sleeves cuffs are big, too. I wear the shirt under a retro fleece and the fleece sleeve is fine glint the shirt cuff has to fold under itself. It would be great if there were more colors.
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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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!

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.

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.
