I wear this sweater often. I have it in the rust color (my favorite) and navy. It's warm enough but not overwhelmingly hot. It does pill up after a year or so, as is common for polyester. I still love it. The only improvement would be a pocket. And less polyester.
This thing is super soft! I'm looking forward to wearing it more as the weather changes. I usually order large in Patagonia because I'm getting outerwear but I wanted a snugger fit for this (more like a sweater) and went with a medium. I'm mostly happy with the fit but wish that Patagonia offered a tall sizing! I would have loved an ... Read Moreextra half inch to inch in the arms and torso without giving up the trunk measurements.
I was disappointed when I received this. I thought it would be much thicker and warmer for the price. The fit was a bit boxy as well. This is the second pullover Ive ordered from Patagonia that I was underwhelmed with.

The best.
This pullover is so comfy. I have been eyeing this for several months and I am so glad I finally bought it. I am so happy with my purchase. It is a bit larger I got an XL could have done a L but I like things a bit oversized. Well worth it. So happy with my purchase.
I love this fleece and and colors. I wanted something different so I picked the sisu brown. The accent color is navy blue (not black like I originally thought when ordered) and I think the colors look great together. It's soft, warm and comfortable.
Love it! I personally didn’t find it itchy like others reported, but I always wear a T-shirt underneath. It’s perfect for our freezing cold Wisconsin winters. It’s not slim fit, so it runs a little larger.
High quality, warm wool fleece, especially with micropuff jacket
Overall, I really like it.
This fleece + micropuff jacket is a solid layering system for cold weather. With a soft shell you're pretty much set for any active winter activity.
I typically order between an extra small to small and, in this case, ordered a small. I like the little bit of room it provided (I really don't like when my fleec... Read Morees fit too tightly).
This fleece is so soft and a cute top to snuggle into. I love wearing it because it’s so comfortable and warm. The xl fits me neatly with no extra bulk. I’m 5 ft. 4 inches and 165 lbs.
Love the look and color and fit... sadly it’s super itchy
I know it’s woolyester and all but it’s super itchy. Not bad with a long sleeve undershirt but if you’re planning on wearing it inside at all you’ll sweat to death. The color and fit though are perfect.
Hi Jordan, thanks so much for taking the time to write us a review! We're sorry to hear about the fleece being so itchy. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).

Loved it but runs a little small
I usually wear a med. but it ran a little small so I had to return it. I really liked it though!
I first bought this because they use recycled wool. I’m curvy and not all Patagonia fits well but this fits perfect! It’s itchy but with a light layer I know this will keep me toasty warm as I work outdoors!
I love love Patagonia. Compared to all of my other pullovers, this one doesn’t quite make the mark. It really does look silly that the neck does not zip up to the top. And the fit is a bit off due to the larger cuff at the bottom. I am going to keep it I think, since I was able to snag it on sale. But overall, I should have followed the others advi... Read Morece. I do not find the material itchy, it’s quite soft.
This pullover is exactly what I was hoping for, warm and cozy. It is lightweight and not bulky. I also love that this is recycled materials. I can't wait to see more of this in new products.
Super warm! Amazing sustainable product! A touch too scratchy.
I adored everything about this pullover.. almost. The colors are rich and beautiful and the sizing was perfect! I love how that Patagonia continues to produce superior quality through superior sustainable practice. That said, it is a touch too scratchy. I own a good bit of wool from a different company, so I can make a good comparison in various wo... Read Moreol products.
I am 5'7, 131 lbs. I bought the Small. It fit close, but well. A thin shirt underneath would be fine.
Great product, but mildly uncomfortable if you're wearing short sleeves underneath. The material, being a wool blend (?), is just a little bit itchy on bare skin. Otherwise, it's great--very warm, comfortable fit. I love the cuffs on the sleeves and around the bottom, and the colors and texture of the whole garment. Very cozy.
I own at least 10 or more fleeces from Patagonia and this product is so far my worst product.
I literally washed one time and it looks like I 've been wearing it for 3 years.
It is so pretty but I feel like I 've wasted my money on this fleece. So disappointed.
We are sorry to hear about this. We recommend you [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) this back to us. We are happy to [help](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html#searchterm=contact) with this process and feel free to reach out!

Really wanted to love this..
Love the idea of recycled wool/fleece and the color (oxide red) was great, but the material pilled extremely quickly leaving my sweater looking warn after only one or two wears. The fit is also off; it seems to run really large in the body but the shoulder/neck area runs small and the sleeves were short. I also wish the zipper went all the way to t... Read Morehe top of neck.
I’m petite at 5’1” and the XS fits perfectly in all dimensions! (I can see how it might not fit those with longer arms or torso). I have worn this a ton a received a lot of compliments. My only concern is that there was definitely some pilling when it came out of the wash even after the first time (and it seemed to shed on my other clothes as well?... Read More) Also when taking a walk wearing a tank top under, it seemed to chafe a bit in the arm pit area. Otherwise, this is perfect!
I absolutely feel in love with this when I saw it in stores and had to have it!! It's so beautiful and rich in color. Fit is absolutely amazing. Big enough to wear over clothing and covers arms perfectly. It does not have pockets which is a negative and the stitching is slightly off where a pocket would be on one side, and it's very itchy... Read More (it's wool, what do you expect). Absolutely love this. Highly recommend.
I got this fleece in a large even though I typically wear medium/small. It's perfect as an oversized, warm fleece. I wear mine constantly. Thinking about buying a second!
Just got this fleece. Not as heavyweight as I imagined, but seems like it will be warm. Like the material at cuffs. I think that it is unfortunate that the women's version has a zipper that does not go all the way up to the top. The men's version does. What gives? Material seems plenty soft to me. Will be interesting to see how it washes.... Read More
Mine got pilly with elastic threads sneaking out after 2 washes
In terms of sizing, I am 5'3" and 120 lbs (32C bust) and have a medium which fits fine and gives me room for a couple of shirts underneath. Hits me just at the top of my hips, but the sleeves are perfect in terms of length. If you've got super long (or even anything besides my short petite-length) arms, it might be problematic
The p... Read Moreositives: I was SO excited to get this fleece as a Christmas gift because I am trying hard to move away from essentially disposable fashion and my other Patagonia items have lasted and been well worth the investment. I was also pleased to get a recycled and fair trade piece of clothing. The navy color is nice and I don't find the fabric to be too itchy. It's warm and quite cozy with classic/retro style. My friends all agree that this is a cute "hippie fleece for you earth mother types." I think it would also be cute on anyone.
The negatives: I have washed the fleece twice (gentle cycle, cold water, no dryer) and the thing is already pilly all over and elastic threads are coming out of the cuffs. At first, I thought it was hair (I'm blonde and so is my son) but when I pulled on it, I realized it was stretchy and attached to the fleece. Upon closer inspection, I found multiple places where the elastic thread is coming out and another where just the cotton thread in the cuff is coming undone. Fortunately, Patagonia stands by their products and after one call they've sent me a return label and will refund my husband so I can order another one. While I knew there were no pockets when I requested this particular fleece, I did not realize how frequently my cold little hands would look for a place to rest. That alone might have been a deal breaker in retrospect.
I'm very sad because I love the idea of this fleece but would not recommend this particular fleece to a friend. I had a Synchilla one for nearly 10 years with no signs of wear and only got rid of it because I finally accepted that the mauve color I settled on because I was so desperate for a fleece was NOT a good life choice (talk about washout!). I still mourn the loss of that fleece and will probably order one of those to replace this one.
Please keep trying with the fair trade and recycled clothing, Patagonia. I'll keep giving them a try because I love this earth so much and so deeply value heritage-quality clothing. YOU CAN DO IT!
I love the fit of this fleece. It runs bigger than some of my other Patagonia fleeces/sweatshirts. I am tall so I like having the extra length. It is itchy though, so I have to wear long sleeves underneath.
The only reason I gave this 4/5 stars is that this pullover needs pockets... I am 5’2” and will also say it could be a smidge longer (but I still love it as-is). Wearing something itchy and “wooly” typically bothers me, and I don’t find this to be itchy at all. As a note I always wear with a cotton long sleeve shirt underneath. As some note the itc... Read Morehiness, I would add maybe expect that it still retains an element of “wool sweater” feeling, so if you generally avoid wearing wool, this may not be for you. If you do wear wool, you will find this to be a softer, cozier version of your favorite sweater.
I was so excited to purchase this. It is very soft. I went with a size small which is usually what I wear in previous Patagonia shirt purchases. My complaint with this is it is very short in lenght & I am 5'0. Will most likely return.
This is super cute and I get compliments on it every time I wear it. I haven’t washed it yet to speak on the fibers coming off, but it can itch if your skin is dry or if you only wear something light under it. It isn’t enough to stop me from wearing it though! It runs just slightly small, I’m 5’6”-5’7”
I bought the Navy and I love it! It is quite warm, yet breathes well. (Let's just say I'm in the hotflash phase of life, and this works for me.) I don't find it itchy, but rather soft on the inside. I am 5' 5" athletic build. The XS fits me well overall. I just wear it on its own, no shirt underneath. I also wear an XS top ... Read Morein Patagonia fleece, tops and better sweater. Would recommend.
this is extremely cute and i love the style and look, but it is extremely itchy. all of the reviews said it was soft, it is not. it is insanely itchy and irritating!
I love this sweater. It is extremely warm and soft and looks great with everything. I usually wear a size large in Patagonia because I have an ample chest (lol), sometimes even a size large can be slightly too big on me. I bought this in a large and it is pretty short. I have a short torso so this isn’t a problem for me but I can see how it could b... Read Moree for other people. Also since the length so are the arms, I have long arms and the large just barely fits in the arm length. It also sheds quite a bit when you wash it. I am afraid it will pick up fibers from others clothes so i have been washing it on it’s own, but I am going to get a special bag to wash it in so I’m not wasting water. Other than those small issues I love it! Patagonia products always go above and beyond and this is no different.
Love this new material but it is WAY too short. Please remember that those of us who purchase your products are pretty active and when bending, reaching ,stretching the pullover rides up and doesn't provide much coverage. Tried to wear it fly fishing and it "rode up" every time I casted
I am between a XS and S depending on the Patagonia jackets. This is a perfect fit in a S. XS was tiny. It is so soft. I got the navy. I love it. I tried the other New 1/4 zip cotton/ wool pullover which did not fit as well for me. This pullover is softer.
I love this pullover! I got the Oatmeal Heather color, and it goes with everything. It's very warm and soft. I was worried it would be a little itchy, but it is not! I have many Patagonia pullovers all in a Medium size, however I sized up to a Large in this. The medium was a little too short.
I wish I could give this more than five stars. Beautifully made, warm & cozy, with and understated pattern. I have received compliments every time I have worn this. I live in Montana where the weather can go from 70 F and sunny to snowing in a matter of minutes. This is toasty and will make for a great layering piece for the wintery months.
This pullover is everything I want it to be. True regular fit, sleeves just long enough and roomy, stretchy cuffs and soft, not-too-scratchy material. Still longing for pockets, but I will be wearing this a lot. Very warm.
