Ive always wanted a retro X but don't ever like any of the colors the women's sizes offer. After reading some reviews I bought a kids XL because I loved the green and brown variation. I loved it upon arrival but after trying to wear it the sleeves are way too short and the torso is so big. It was just an odd fit but thats the risk I took ... Read Morebuying kids size. I tried and tried to love it, but the fit just isnt worth the color for me. My only suggestion is please offer more neutral color ways in womens sizes.
I normally wear Patagonia women size XS or XXS. I tried kids XL which fits good but I wanted this jacket fits oversized so I exchanged to XXL. I love how this jacket completes my winter outdoor wear. The color is versatile and the fleece is very warm. This was a great purchase. Im happy with it. :)
I bought this jacket for myself. I am 5'2" and usually wear a size medium in women's. I was worried this would have a boxy fit because it's the children's size, but because I have a shorter torso, it actually fit perfectly! It doesn't look boxy at all. The color is very true to the picture. I love that it has 3 pockets... Read More to carry things. I have worn it in the snow and on chilly mornings and it's perfect. It's so cute and I have gotten many compliments. I chose the kids one because I liked the colors more than the adult colors. I am very happy with my choice and would definitely buy another color!
Bought this retro-X for myself, 52 & 110 lbs, fits really well. Windproof, not too thin. I think kids version is better than womans (color-wise, I like brown-green color) and mans version (much stiffer).
I wanted the retro jacket my friend had in college and the mens and womens currently available didnt fit well and I didnt care for the lining. Lucky for me I can still fit into the kids XXL and I love this jacket! So cozy and pretty close to what I coveted 25 years ago!
Pulling on a Patagonia jacket always feels right; the lack of frills or fashion cues is refreshing. The jacket is without extras. Only what it needs to be and nothing more.
Bought this for my 7 yo. Need the wind protection but he doesnt lie wearing it bc the fleece is scratchy, particularly around the neck. Wish fleece could be same material as the Retro Pile Jacket, which is very cozy. The lining is also not as breathable.

So cute
I bought this so I would have a boxy/oversized fit and it fits just how I wanted it to, Im excited to wear it this fall/winter
Ive been wanting one of these jackets and liked the natural & olive coloring of the kids jacket more than the womens colors, so I decided to try it out. Im 5 3 and 108 lbs and the XL fits perfectly! Perfect arm & body length, and I was expecting it to be a little boxy but its actually not. And its cheaper than the womens jacket too! Plus th...

I'm typically a Patagonia Women's XS and purchased this for running errands around town, and in the house on cold days. The warmth did not disappoint (interior lining made it surprisingly windproof but still comfortable), but the fit is going to be more boxy than the Women's Retro-X Fleece. The only caveat was the sleeves run shorter... Read More but if you're a Petite woman this isn't a problem. This is a jacket that can be worn down to 32F outdoors, or inside on frigid winter days when you can't afford to crank up the heat past 65F. I rarely pay full price for clothes but I did here, and I have zero regrets. It's a keeper!
Great jacket for boys! Especially cold and windy day!
This jacket is so adorable but very well made to keep my son warm in super freezing day at the beach in San Francisco. Easy to brush off the sand and very easy to put jacket on and off.
I bought this for myself, an XXL is a perfect fit for 5”4 ish woman.
It is incredibly comfortable, and SO surprisingly warm!!
I love this jacket and will recommend to anyone considering to buy.
I’ve bought some more to give to friends as presents :)
My daughter(9) is quite toasty in her new RetroX Jacket. I have had mine for 20 years and it still provides me with the ultimate wind proof warmth! Thank you Patagonia for providing quality clothing for our children!
This was a great jacket and my son liked it and like the colors (turquoise and red),but it was too small for him. It was an X-large (which corresponds to size 14) and my son is a pretty average sized 13-year-old. It's great that there was free shipping,but shipping it back to Patagonia for the return was pretty expensive.
This is our 2nd one of these jackets for my son. I absolutely prefer the nylon lining to the sort of stiff binding lining of the adults retro X jacket. Perfect for spring and fall,these wear incredibly well. My long,lanky 14 year old almost didn't fit into a x large (14),so I'd say it runs a bit small in the arms in particular,but it coul...
