Just right for Fall

The air Full zip hoody is my favorite cozy piece for Fall. It looks nice, is comfortable and just right for hikes with my dog.

amazingly versatile. holds stink

This layer is my go-to for just about everything that needs a layer. Hiking, walking, day-to-day. I wore it touring and actually was too sweaty in this layer so best for mod-intensity activity. My only complaint is I have to wash it almost every time I wear it because the synthetic holds onto stink from any activity. Any sweat or heat gets trapped ...

I'm 5'6, 145 lb and got a medium.

September 13, 2023

Super warm, feels amazing on my skin!

Would give 5 but the fit through the armpit was so tight it bunched weird. I had to return. I did order r1 daily pullover and I think that will fit better as a base layer than this one. I wanted it to fit under the cross strata for a little more warmth but unfortunately it just bunched weird.

Best fleece ever made

I have had this fleece for just over a year now. The dusty pink color is perfect. Its soft and fits great. It has just the right amount of pockets. Its warm but yet some how still breathable. I have taken it hiking, ski touring, and wear it around all the time as it looks nice too. My only wish is that there was also a full zip version without a ho... Read Moreod and with all 3 pockets.

Amazing warmth for how thin it seems

I got this on recommendation from a friend and it is as warm as wearing my regular second layer coat! Amazing

August 20, 2023

I would love it more without the hood

I love the R1 Air products although I find the hood a bit annoying. It is snug, not so easy to pull on when walking my dogs. It is a bit snug overall only from the perspective that if I need the hood, I would need a warm base layer for colder weather, otherwise the hood seems superfluous. Just things to consider. I am 5'3", 107 lbs, and t... Read Morehe XS fits fine, subject to my comments about the hood. I would give this jacket 5 stars if it did not have the hood, which was not an option when I purchased it.

Hi Joelle, thank you for this feedback on the hood of this jacket. We're sorry this feature didn't work for you, but we're glad to see you were able to get one of the R1 Air Zip Necks without a hood. We hope you're much happier with that one! Please let us know if we can be of any further help.

August 19, 2023

Yes but no but now maybe yes?

I purchased this item when it first came out and wanted to love it so bad, but found that it was never as comfortable as I wanted it to be. Mainly, the fabric just seemed stiff and the fit, while acknowledgeably slim fitted, just seemed to bunch a lot. I ended up passing it off to a friend that could get more usage of it than I could. Recently in a... Read More patagonia store, I came across a newer version and it seemed to me the fabric was softer. Was there a change in the fabric from when it was first released to the current editions?

August 15, 2023

Almost Perfect

Purchased a few months ago, and it would be my favorite jacket but I am afraid to wear it as often as I would like because it is not wearing well. I bought this to wear to work in a casual office so it does not get any hard wear. Yet unlike my older version, this one began to pill immediately. I waited as long as possible to wash. Placed it inside ... Read Morethe Patagonia guppy bag as recommended and washed on delicate cycle in cold water, and hung it up to air dry. Washing caused it to look even more worn.

An icon

I am obsessed with R1 Air. The waffle look, the stand out pocket w zipper, the nice fit, the classic design.

Versatile

I brought this fleece as my only layer on a trip and found that it was perfect in a variety of weather. This sweatshirt runs very small and is long, so I recommend sizing up. After washing twice, I noticed that the fleece was not as soft and felt more crusty, but it breathes a little better. The large hood and pockets are definitely my favorite fea... Read Moretures.

New Favorite

I bought this in black and lived in it for months. Soft, comfortable, warm. Washed well, dried fast. Perfect mid layer or as a light sweater with t-shirts. Because I wear it so often I recently purchased a second hoody in the green.

March 6, 2023

Really comfortable mid-layer

I wear this as a mid-layer for snowboarding, snowshoeing and an outer layer for dry winter runs. It's warn and comfortable. Slim fit, so order up a size if you want a loose fit over other layers.

March 4, 2023

Very comfortable and warm.

I live in this sweater now! Its lightweight but warmer and I love the texture feel of it. A great purchase that I know will last a long time.

An excellent upgrade

I have an old R1 quarter zip from almost ten years ago that has been very well loved and when I saw the beautiful Salvia Green colour this season I knew it was time for an upgrade.

warm lightweight fleece - new go to layer

This fleece is amazing. Im between a small and medium for most Patagonia items. Chest 34D tends to push me toward medium for a tighter fitting layer like this one. The light blue color is beautiful and a bit unusual. I love it. Highly recommend this jacket

February 22, 2023

Love this cozy, soft hoody!

This is so soft, cozy, light-weight, and perfect, and I will be buying another one soon because I expect it to become an everyday part of my wardrobe.

Awesome piece!!

I have the reg R1 and also this one, I love both. I definitely feel like the Air is warmer and a great layering piece as well as on its own! Love it! My only change I would suggest it to add the loops for hanging back into the collar, they are missed!

Nice jacket but..

Nice jacket but makes lots of fuzzies with normal wear. Not like the R2 series which is more durable.

February 27, 2023

Hi Sandy, thank you for submitting this review. To do the most to prevent pilling, we recommend washing your hoody either by hand in cool to 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. To remove pilling that has already occurred we recommend using a product like a fabric shaver, which is gentler on fabric than a sweater stone. If the pilling or fuzzing becomes too much of an issue, please keep in mind you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it at any time under our warranty.

February 20, 2023

Soft. Well fitted. Comfy!

I like the tailored fit. Im kind of between an XS and Small. The sleeves are a smidge short. I think its because Im used to wearing fleece and long sleeve shirts that are a little longer in the arms. The XS was on sale, so I got it. When a small is on sale, Ill buy one of those, too. Luv Patagonia!

February 16, 2023

I wanted so much to like this!

I originally ordered a medium in this jacket to start with. That was based on the recommendation of the Patagonia measurements. The Medium was so small in fit I could not get the hood up and in place. It was also very tight. (As above, I am 5'10" and weigh 135). I thought the jacket was rather skimpy for the price, but I liked the look an... Read Mored so I reordered a Large. The large size had a zipper issue where it was difficult to zip it up. The zipper itself was very small and since the jacket was longer it was hard to locate to begin with. I just felt like after the reorder that this jacket was not meant for me. I also have ordered other things were the size this season for Patagonia items has seemed off and things are running smaller. Thank you for listening.

Perfect

Functionally perfect and very good looking zip hoody that does very well on dog walks, cross country runs and daily errands. Very versatile.

Loving it! Can't stop wearing it!

It is cozy, warm, high quality as always.

February 7, 2023

Comfortable and Versatile

I received my R1 Air yesterday and I am VERY happy with it. I'm 5'4, around 155lbs, with a fairly straight build and traditionally wear a large in Patagonia. Based on some reviews I had read, I was concerned that it would be too slim for my build but I found it to fit perfectly. It is slim, but comfortably so. I have room for movement and... Read More layering underneath (tried with a baggy long sleeved cotton t-shirt and it fit just fine). I love the length of it. I tend to hike and backpack in leggings, but like a little more coverage when I am wearing them and was glad that the R1 air offered that compared to some of my other fleeces that hit at the top of the hip. The fleece feels very lightweight and breathable. Yesterday was about 63 and I am hot natured, but I tossed it on to run a few errands with a Capilene Daily and some leggings and stayed comfortable. I think the zigzag design will offer good breathability for hiking. Overall the design doesn't seem as technical as the standard R1, but aesthetically I prefer it as it reminds me a bit of my favorite Patagonia fleece, the reversible R3, though not as warm. It really is a beautiful fleece and I am excited to take it out on some hikes. I definitely see this fleece being at the top of my rotation.

January 28, 2023

Love the red color and soft feel!

I love the red color and soft feel of this, but as someone who normally finds Patagonia Small on the slightly large size, the Small in this fleece definitely seems a little too tight around the shoulders/underarm, and also in the sleeve length. I could do with at least another inch on the sleeves (and I don't have long arms - I've a neutr... Read Moreal ape index). I think the Medium would be far too big around my hips.

January 27, 2023

Ery comfortable and warm

Light weight and fits like a glove

January 25, 2023

Cozy but slightly odd fit

Very warm and cozy with a comfortable fitting neck and shoulders. The torso of the fleece is oddly long though, even on me at 5ft9in. I find it sticks out below my jackets and flares too much at the waist when unzipped as a result. Also makes for a less flattering silhouette overall.

January 22, 2023

So glad I have this

What I love is the hood and how it fits under my ski helmet keeping me nice and toasty. Wore this under my parka and while downhill skiing. Fits me like second skin. Im 5-3 and 118 lbs.

January 22, 2023

Just Bought Another One

I bought this jacket in December, thinking that I wanted a light but warm fleece that was good for winter hiking and also cute. I basically haven't taken it off since, so when the sale happened, I snapped up a second one. It's great on its own either if it's not super cold or if I'm doing a vigorous hike. If it's colder, I ... Read Morewear it with a down sweater over it, and then sometimes it gets a bit clammy from the wicking. But that's a quibble. I suspect I will be wearing one or the other of them well into spring. Also, I appreciate that even the slim cut jackets are still roomy enough for people with chests!

My new favorite!

Warm, comfortable, long, enough, and stylish! My new favorite zip up hoodie!!

January 20, 2023

I love this fleece.

I bought a medium so that it is a bit baggy. I can layer under it. It is very soft; so soft that I often don't layer under it. My phone and dog bags fit in the functional pockets. This is my second one of these. The colors choices are great. My first one is three years old and going strong, great quality.

Great jacket!

This jacket is super soft and just the right fit. I love how lightweight, yet warm it is!

I would let you try it on, but I'm wearing it right now.

This is what I want to wear when I want to be cozy around the house or when I need an extra layer in between base and puffy. It fits well, looks good, feels good and is extremely functional in all the ways. I appreciate that the pockets zip and that the neck goes up high when zipped up.

Perfect:)

Perfect for cool weather hikes or a layer for winter workouts!

Soft, Fitted Technical Fleece

I wanted a fleece for layering during ski season and loved that this has nice facial coverage for under my helmet.

Super warm, breathable and lightweight

I love my R1 air hoodies because I sweat a lot when active and they keep me warm but breathe great so I can unzip my outer layer to dump heat without getting chilled.

December 14, 2022

Perfect cold weather active layer

This has been the perfect layer on top of a wool base layer for cold (30 degree) early morning walks and runs. Lightweight yet warm, with a good fit.

December 13, 2022

Not as warm as I would have wanted

I rarely spend big on myself so this was a splurge. I do love the fit and colors. The hoody is a plus but its much thinner than I thought and does not keep me warm. Ill need to keep it for fall/spring va winter as I had intended.

Soft, cozy, very warm, runs just slightly small

I have several generations of the R1. It is my absolute favorite piece that Patagonia makes. When this new version came out, I had to try it. I am 5 foot 9 inches, 165 lbs with a strong althletic-curve build. In Patagonia tops, I am a consistent medium. This garment is extremely warm, even warmer and less breathable than the original R1. The origin... Read Moreal R1 has more stretch and mobility as well as a chest pocket that fits a phone. The new R1 jackets pocket is a bit small for a small smartphone. The fit is more snug as well; I am glad I have a medium but the shoulders are slightly snug and under arm too. The rest of the garment has a technical fit, which is quite fitted. I am not going to climb in this one like my others, but I do love wearing it. It is the perfect warm layer for casual wear. The colors are so lovely and it is a cute jacket.

December 6, 2022

So soft and warm

This jacket looks so nice and is comfortable and warm. Hemlock green beautiful. I got the medium. Perfect fit. 140# 34G 5ft 6. Athletic build. Hope this helps. Hood also keeps the wind out!

November 28, 2022

Warm and comfortable yet also high performer

This is one of the best fleece products I have ever owned. I also have an Arcteryx Kyanite, but this is my new favorite for its light weight and breathability. We don't use heat at our house, and I have worn this basically non-stop since it has arrived to work from home, as well as on runs and hikes. I will be taking it on my next long through... Read More hike, too. Fantastic product. The only comments for what could be improved in future iterations: 1. make the chest pocket a little bigger and 2. have a zipper guard on the chin area, but these are very minor suggestions and I think this will be a workhorse for years to come. Thanks for the great quality, Patagonia!

Looks Really Worn After Just a Few Weeks

Patagonia is my go-to brand for all my outdoor clothing. I lost a similar fleece earlier this summer and I thought I replaced it with the same item when I bought this fleece. It must have been a different one though because it feels thinner and fits tighter for a large (I like them loose for layering). I'm not a fan of this material because ...

I don't think I would order it again because of that but I'll give it a go and see what happens as I need something like this to replace my R4s which are wearing out after a couple years.

November 11, 2022

Warm and cozy

I have been saving up to purchase this hoody for some time, totally worth the money. It is a great layer on a cold day. Size small, I weigh 115lbs with broad shoulders. Fits great with room to move freely

November 9, 2022

Comfy

I really like these hoodies especially for fishing. The fit is great but my favorite is still the fuzzy old R3 hoodies for fit and softness. I wish they would bring those back. I wear these everyday working as a ski instructor.

November 9, 2022

Saying in advance I love it

I think I love this jacket except I ordered my usual size medium and needed to exchange it for a large which I have not yet received. I was able to get a good vibe from the medium though - it was soft and snuggly and surprisingly warm. It was just too tight. I read some of the other reviews saying it is too long but I didnt think so and hoping the ... Read Morelarger size is a good fit. I will say that if you are curvy sizing up is probably a good idea especially if you want to wear layers underneath it. Fingers crossed for the large and also hope you get the green one in soon!

This was definitely worth the buy. I am very happy with it.

Great sweater for fall

Very warm but lightweight which is great. Packed it in my carry on for Canada and it did not take up much space & kept me warm for several hours in ~50 degree weather. Great color and pockets. Only slight negative is that the bottom of the jacket is too narrow across my hips so I have to bunch it up to my waste to zip it.

Versatile cozy layer

I have almost every variation of the R1 fleece that has been made over the last twenty years. This is the most versatile and retains the warmth and coziness I expect from the R1 line. Its the perfect layering piece, took it one a trip to Peru and wore it in the jungle, the valley, and the city. Love it!

I'm happy with this!

As a person that runs hot year round, I need to have breathable clothing for the autumn and winter months. I can tell that this jacket will keep me plenty warm as a layer in the winter but as a stand alone piece in the spring and autumn. It's soft and feels great on the skin.

I have biceps and I don't feel like the Hulk in this. I would say this is trim to body and if you want extra room, you may need to find a different jacket (does just slightly true to size). But if you are wanting something that is on the body and close, this is good. I try to purpose all of my clothing for hiking, casual wear, and lounging, and I think this hoodie will be a fave. In the end, I'm happy with it.

October 8, 2022

Great sweater

This sweater is amazing! I love how warm, light and breathable it is. Its my go to for hiking, climbing or just out and about. I wear it either by itself or as an additional layer underneath a jacket for added warmth. I highly recommend it!

Won't hold up

Would not recommend for climbing or any activity where the fabric will rub up against anything. Definitely a baggier fit than the old R1 hoodies.

September 18, 2022

This is a perfect cool

This is a perfect cool but not extremely cold weather jacket, with a somewhat close but comfortable fit. I love the addition of the upper small pocket and the soft texture of the fabric.

Main body (torso) feels narrow. Underarm of R1 used to be too big, now it's a little too tight. Sleeves are long for me as usual. Though it's really cute, I have to return.

Too long

I'm 5ft3in, weigh 118 (on a good day) and considered to have an average length torso.

Long and skinny

I have had prior R1s and they are great. I returned this because the fit was wrong for me. Sleeves really long, body fit in width but hit well below my hip. if I were to size down for sleeves and length would be too tight. Definitely built for taller thinner body types

My new favorite go-to layer

I love everything about this soft, light breathable layer. It is comfortable in a wide range of temps, and the fit is flattering. The only thing it might not be ideal for is bushwhacking, given that it has a wool sweater texture. Meaning it might snag and pick up a few pine needles more than a layer with a smoother finish.

Super breathable

Great spring jacket

This is the perfect light weight jacket for spring. I bought one for myself and loved it so much I bought one for my daughter. The zipper pockets are roomy enough to fit your cell phone so no need for a purse when you have this jacket. The length is also nice

My favorite zip hoodie!

I bought it a little big for me on purpose so I layer it for winter and skiing. This is my 3rd one and go to over the years. Still love it!

May 15, 2022

Activealways

I love the color and comfort of my full zip R1 hoodie. It is the perfect weight for wearing alone or layering. The sleeve length is a bit long, as most Patagonia jackets are for me, but the tight band keeps it comfortable. I now have two.

Comforts and light

I teach yoga on the beach and this perfect to throw on when the sun sets. Im still able to move well and its the perfect layer of warmth when it starts to feel chilly.

May 11, 2022

It's like a snuggle!

I love this jacket--it's the perfect weight--great by itself when it's cool and as an under-layer. I wear it curled up on the couch when it's cold and hiking on cool damp mornings. It's soft and light and holds your warmth but also breathes, so it's never hot. I got a large because I wanted it a little bit roomy, but the me...

Very light, very warm!

I bought this with and without the hood in Small and Medium, but normally wear smalls. The medium has enough room to layer long sleeves very comfortably if you're planning to do that. This material is SO warm, especially for being so light and thin. It's definitely going to be a staple on my ski days.

April 16, 2022

Cozy

This jacket is almost too small for me, but I like the snug fit because it feels quite cozy. Love the way the hood fits.

Great technical hoody!

I just got the R-1 Air Full Zip Hoody 3 days ago. I've worn it on a morning jog and a long hike. I love it, it's soft, breathable, kept me warm w/out overheating and the sleeves and length are perfect, even tho I'm tall. The teal green is true to the picture. It's TTS, I normally wear a sz. 6 (5'10"/135#) and the M fit... Read More well. I can wear a layer thicker than a t-shirt underneath and it is still comfy.

April 2, 2022

Not sure

I like the jacket. Its thin and comfortable. I had to order up a size because its made small. It was new when I wore it for one week on vacation and there is pilling on the sleeves already. Not sure I would buy it again because the fabric is not wearing well. It washed fine.

Comfortable Breathable

This jacket fits true to size and is so comfortable, I wear it trail running, hiking, and just all the time. It keeps me warm, even with a bit of a breeze, but lets my under-layer breath while I'm being active. the hoodie was a big bonus for me for when the weather takes a turn, I can get even more warm with the close-fit zip and hood.

March 28, 2022

Magical Hoodie Jacket

This is a great hoodie jacket and I'll probably buy a second one in another color so I can occasionally wash the first one, which I wear almost every day. It's comfortable, stretchy but not clingy, and looks great. I got one size up so I could put two base layers underneath and that works well. I was wearing it in the house with only a th...

I love the green color! Noticeably more trim fit than previous R1 jacket. Love the sleeve & waist length. Always love Patagonia layers!

March 17, 2022

Great for cold weather running

Thin but toasty warm material that keeps out the wind pretty well too. It is perfect to wear hiking and running as it's not bulky at all

March 16, 2022

Works Well, Looks Okay

I'm 5'3'', 130lb, 36B, and sort of apple shaped. I can fit into a Small R1 regular half zip without anything underneath, so Medium in the R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody was great for layering over a shirt.

Ultra comfortable

I love this hoodie. It instantly became a go-to because of its warmth, but light weight. I've found it to be a great layer for under my ski jacket, but it also looks good on its own.

March 12, 2022

great second layer!

This top is my new favorite second layer for winter backpacking and hiking.

This is my new go to for inside and outside, amazingly always just the right warmth for the wide range of temps in Maine late winter/early spring.

March 10, 2022

Versatile

I love it. It fits close to the body. The hood is great. Also it is long and does not ride up. Excellent under a shell for snowshoeing at about 0centigrade. And under my Patagonia down sweater hoody at -15 C. Also for casual wear. I love it. You could offer it in a broader range of colours.

Great fit, comfy except for the zipper

I'm so glad Patagonia is making XXS clothes for smaller women, unlike so many other companies. The fit is perfect for my petite frame. I find this much more comfortable than the original R1 - the waffle fleece feels more flexible and less constrictive. My only issue is the zipper. For reasons I can't understand, there is no chin protector... Read More, which makes it kind of uncomfortable when it's fully zipped. The zipper is also fairly bulky, which adds to the discomfort. Given the premium price for this otherwise great product, I'm disappointed they have left off this one important detail. I had the same issue with the regular R1, which is why I returned it. The R1 Air is a little more forgiving and so I find the zipper discomfort more tolerable, but I'm still not thrilled. Other than that, it's a great fleece.

Light as air but unbelievably warm

So happy I splurged on this. Im always cold, but this fleece keeps me warm as either an outer layer or a mid one. I tested it for the first time as an outer layer for cycling on a 35 degree day. Incredibly it breathes, allowing sweat to evaporate, while locking in warmth. Its now a regular companion for outdoor fun. I love that the hood fits under ... Read Morea helmet. The fabric has lots of flex and stretch, so its designed for movement. Its also soft and cozy, and I find myself wearing it to relax indoors, too. The only complaint is that teeny chest pocket. Also be ready to size up because this has a slim fit. Im usually a size medium in Patagonia jackets, 120 lbs, 36C, with an average build. With this fleece, the medium just fits with room only for a base layer. That works for me but others may want to take that into account and go up a size. Overall a superb fleece!

Found the Perfect Replacement

I've been looking for a replacement for a hooded Patagonia piece and this was the perfect choice. The fit is athletic - just the right length for me - and the feature that sold me was the hood that wraps around your head and neck snug and comfortably.

February 11, 2022

Very soft

I wear a size small usually. Im 5 and weight 130 and ordered the medium and it was too snug. Patagonia may want to broaden their scope of sizing to be more inclusive for the mature customers in their audience. Not everyone is fresh out of college

Great warm layer with breathability

I love this layer and have worn it skinning/ski touring for the past three weeks since I got it. The only thing I would change is that the breast pocket is small and I wish it held my phone like the R1 does! Its really only large enough for a chapstick or a small snack.

January 22, 2022

SUPER WARM

Great product. My son bought one in His size and recommended; I purchase one also. Weather in Wisconsin is extreme this time of year. I love this top for it s warmth and ease of wearing, I would like to purchase another one in a different color , but not available.

Keeps me warm

I really enjoy the slim fit. Love the high zip around the neck. As well the small hood is an added comfort. Light weight although keeps me warm and thats not easy for me. I also feel very stylish in this jacket. I am in process of getting a second color because when you like something you just got to have more. Love love Patagonia!

January 8, 2022

lightweight and super warm

This fleece is incredibly warm and extremely lightweight. The fit coupled with its lightweight make it great for activity; I climb very comfortably in it during our southern winters (30s-40s and sunny usually). I visit NH in the winter and will make a great layer for those colder days. This one is soft and cozy.

December 26, 2021

A Must-have!

I want to be able to add more of these to my collection because this layer is SO awesome, but because it's so awesome, there are no more mediums and only two colors. I wear this hoody walking around town, in the house, biking, hiking, nordic skiing - as a top layer or mid-layer, depending on the temps. C'mon, Patagonia! Make more of these... Read More so we can all have a collection! :)

December 21, 2021

So Amazing!

I love my R1 and R2 layers - such great technical pieces. But this one - wow. Super soft and comfy. Super breathable and warm. Checks all the boxes. I've even found myself grabbing it on those cold nights to sleep in and don't overheat.

December 15, 2021

Warm, good layer

This is warm and comfortable. Awesome later for skiing for me. Its on the more fitted side but I knew that going in. Def recommended.

December 14, 2021

So pumped about this

After a long time deciding if I should buy this I finally pulled the trigger and I am SO excited about it. I wore it mountain biking this morning in about 35-40 degree temps with a light long sleeve under it, and I was totally warm and comfortable (even going downhill with wind). I rarely write reviews but I truly am so excited about this fleece th... Read Moreat I needed to share. I didn't overheat on the uphill and was perfectly comfortable the whole time. Sizing is a little weird, per the other reviews. I am 5'6" and 130lbs and very average build. In most things I wear a small, but I ended up getting a medium in this and I feel like it was for sure the right call. I do wear other Patagonia jackets (ski jackets) in a medium for layering. I am genuinely right between a small and a medium in this fleece as I tried them both on, but the small was a little short in my arms and pretty fitted. The medium is just ever so slightly a bit large on me, but I feel the most comfortable in it, plus it stay on the length of my arms when they extend. So pumped to have finally pulled the trigger!!

December 8, 2021

I will never take this off

When I recieved this in the mail the other day and put it on, and immediately texted my work colleagues, warning them to expect to see me in the R1 for the rest of the year. I literally don't want to take it off. It is warm, versatile, comfortable and cute. I plan to order the 1/2 zip next in a different color. I love it!

warm and cozy

I love this garment! It is soft (softer than the R1 or R2) and a little stretchy. It's super warm for how light it is. I love the blue color. It has become my go-to for most activities where it's cool outside, and also for just hanging out.

November 11, 2021

Looks cool but not warm

I was drawn to this item because of the zig zag design. It's very breezy while windy not what I was looking for. The material also don't where well it looks funny after a week or so wearing. I will be returning it at some point.

November 10, 2021

Almost good

The appearance of this jacket is very cute. I love the fleece pattern and I love that it's fitted. But I feel it truly is a size too small. I wear an XL so there's not much to go from there. I bought the men's version for my husband and he wouldn't wear it because it's too snug. It's also a lot thinner than I expected.... Read More I should have read more reviews because others have stated it. I love the Patagonia brand and this is not a bad fleece. It looks well made but it's absolutely not what I was looking for. So if you want a thin fleece that is very fitted, this fits the bill. If not, probably look for another product. I'd definitely size up though.

Functional & fun!

The length is great! Ive been using this layer when biking and its perfect for 50-60 degree east coast weather. I love the option of the hood when I bike and then go for a walk. The more durable material around the wrist makes me feel more comfortable wearing it when Im biking.

73 and sunny

This is the perfect shoulder season jacket (or layer for inside when it's not cold enough to turn on the heat).

Great fit, looks great

This is a great fleece. It's warm and looks great. I'm 5'2" 124lbs with an athletic build and purchased an x-small. It's very slim-fitting, but fits well. If you want something you can move around in more I would recommend sizing up.

I wanted to love this jacket so much. The shoulders fit perfect, but the body of it ran small. Sadly, this is going back. I'm worried about getting a Large and have the shoulders be too baggy.
