The vest version of Patagonia's most-worn women's fleece — same sweater-knit aesthetic and recycled-polyester construction as the rest of the Better Sweater line, cut as a layering vest for the in-between weather where arms-free works best.
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:
- Sweater-knit aesthetic with soft fleece interior — reads as refined-casual layered or solo
- Full-length zipper with stand-up collar — zip-through design with a kissing-welt zipper garage
- Two zippered welt handwarmer pockets — clean lines without bulk
- Soft brushed-tricot trim — on armholes and hem for added comfort
- Hip length — coverage that works under shells and over base layers
- Low-impact dye process — reduces dyestuff, energy, and water versus 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. Knit construction will gently pill with wear — a sweater stone restores the surface easily.
The right pick for customers building a versatile mid-weight layering kit. Wears well over a button-down for office-casual settings, under a rain shell when conditions turn, or solo on shoulder-season fall and spring days. The vest cut delivers core warmth without restricting arm movement — useful for active outdoor work and casual evening rotation alike.
