Patagonia's most-worn women's full-zip fleece — fleece-faced sweater-knit aesthetic on the outside, soft fleece on the inside, cut as a true outerwear piece rather than a pullover. Earns daily rotation across casual settings, weekend wear, and office-appropriate environments where a fleece needs to look like more than a fleece.
Built from 10-oz 100% recycled polyester knit fleece, dyed with a low-impact process that reduces dyestuff, energy, and water use compared to conventional heather dyeing. Trim and pocket bags are 5.3-oz 100% recycled polyester brushed tricot. Fabrics are bluesign® approved.
Standout features:
- Raglan sleeves with princess seams — front and back shaping for a contoured fit
- Full-length zipper with stand-up collar — zip-through with kissing-welt zipper garage
- Two welted, zippered handwarmer pockets — clean lines without bulk
- Upper-left sleeve zip pocket — useful for transit cards or small essentials
- Soft brushed-tricot trim — on cuffs and hem for added comfort
- Low-impact dye process — reduces dyestuff, energy, and water use vs. conventional heather dyeing
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Sri Lanka, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor.
Right pick for customers who want one versatile mid-weight fleece jacket that bridges hiking, commuting, and casual evening wear without compromising on any of them. The full-zip construction provides venting flexibility that pullovers can't match, and the Better Sweater fabric earns its place across years of regular rotation.
