The Men's Better Sweater® Jacket is Patagonia's most-worn full-zip men's fleece — sweater-knit aesthetic on the outside, soft fleece on the inside, cut as a true outerwear piece rather than a pullover. It's the mid-layer that earns its place across casual settings, weekend wear, and office-casual environments where a fleece needs to look like more than a fleece.
It's built from a 10-ounce 100% recycled polyester knit fleece, dyed with a low-impact process that reduces dyestuff, energy, and water use versus conventional heather dyeing, with bluesign® approved fabrics. Raglan sleeves move cleanly under pack straps without binding, a stand-up collar with a full zip-through and kissing-welt zipper garage frames the face, flat-seam construction reduces bulk and chafe, and a zippered chest security pocket plus two zippered welt handwarmer pockets keep the lines clean. It's made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Thailand, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor.
