The Women's Better Sweater® 1/4-Zip is the most-worn fleece pullover in Patagonia's women's line — a sweater-knit aesthetic over a soft fleece face, the kind of mid-weight quarter-zip that earns daily rotation across casual settings, slightly dressier contexts, and the in-between days where one layer needs to handle everything.
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 100% recycled polyester brushed-tricot trim and bluesign® approved fabrics. A quarter-zip with a stand-up collar adds adjustable venting, raglan sleeves offer mobility and pack-wearing comfort, flat-seam construction reduces bulk and chafe, and soft, shape-holding brushed-tricot cuffs and hem resist abrasion. It's made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor.
