Really Really Nice!
Typical Patagonia slim fit. Much warmer than I was expecting. Extremely comfortable with a casual but dressy look to it. I highly recommend this sweater to anyone looking for a fleece that doesn't look like a piece of technical clothing. Two thumbs up!

BUY ONE NOW!!
Dang, I loves me some Better Sweater. I have a full zip and a 1/4 zip and would love to have one in every color. They are so easy to slip on in the cooler times of the year and are super comfy and warm ENOUGH. I guess I'd love to combine the two and have the full zip with a chest pocket, that would be IDEAL. As it stands the full-zip does NOT have a chest pocket only the 1/4 zip does, so if you are looking for this feature you'll want the 1/4 zip.

husband likes it
husband needed a new fleece jacket and I got him this one cause of color. I thought it looked a little Mr. Rogers-ish but nice. He likes it, finds it comfortable and warm.

I LOVE THIS SWEATER
The Patagonia Better Sweater has become one of my very favorites. So much so, that I now have five of them in different colors. They are soft, so comfortable, and warm. They are perfect for taking off the chill of a cool evening or as a great insulator under a shell.

Warmer than I expected. Comfortable and casual, but looks nice enough to wear out at night. Just received, so I cannot comment on the sweater's durability.

Better Sweater
Great jacket for San Francisco type weather. This is my second Better Sweater and use this as my everyday jacket for work and play. My older jacket lasted about 3 years before looking a little tired after many washes. Really warm and comfortable. Fits great but sleeves are a little long but Im not exactly a big person.
Great everyday jacket, would purchase again.
Altrec delivered in 2 days, great service.

Not all fleece is equal
Patagonia always has a knack for creating great garments, and this item is a perfect example of that. While others make great technical layers (as does Patagonia too) this piece blends the technical with comfort and casual style. No one will look twice if you wear this not a nice restaurant, unlike some fleece tops that make yo look like you were on the way from or two a crag. I love this "sweater"

Great Sweater
When it comes to fleece Patagonia does it right they have been making great fleece products and I have been buying them forever. The better sweater is just a great sweater very well made very warm and fits very well. When there is a chill in the air I throw it on while having my morning cup of coffee as I sit on my porch outside and so warm and comfortable . Do not forget a very nice styled sweater as well. I always look at zippers on jackets and perfect one on the Better Sweater.
Wears very well can be a great mid layer in really cold weather as well. It really is one of my go to Jackets try one on and you will want one and Patagonia stands behind there products and has some of the best customer service in the industry .
Altrec .com has a great selection and excellent customer support.

Very Comfortable, Warm Jacket
This jacket is surprisingly comfortable! It has a unique, and elegant outer exterior (zoom in on image) while maintaining an incredibly soft and warm inner fleece-type material. It has two, deep front pockets that are lined with the same material which also prove to be quite warm.
While overall I think it is an incredibly comfortable and warm jacket, there are a couple features I wish had been included. As the jacket fits me a little loosely (I'm 6'0", and 175lbs and wear a size Large), it would have been nice to have had some durable synch cords built in. Additionally, I've always been a fan of zippered breast pockets either on the interior or exterior of the jacket, something this jacket does not include.
Overall, highly recommend this jacket. Though I have not had it long, I believe, like all Patagonia products, this will provide unrivaled durability and comfort for years to come.

great sweater/jacket
I had already bought the better sweater 1/4 zip pullover for my son and he loves it. Got the jacket version for my husband... great price! Would definitely recommend and buy again.

Dressy and built like a house.
Picked this up for travel and work as much as for wearing out in the wild. Own other Patagonia fleece jackets, and this was on the snug side. Not a complaint since it works better as a form fit jacket, just a heads up.

Wow
I ordered my first BS about six months back. Ended up wearing it almost every day, so I decided I should probably get another. The first one is still in perfect condition... this really is the best sweater/sweatshirt/jacket I've ever had, especially for the price.

Great all around jacket
I purchased this sweater jacket last year for my daughter and she loves it and wears the jacket all the time. I ordered this jacket for my son-in-law who also loves it.
Very comfortable and versatile, does fit true to size.

Great gift
This gift was a big hit with the recipient - he loved the cut and feel of the sweater/jacket, and found it to be quite warm (a little too warm to wear inside, but perfect for walks on a brisk day). The color of the blue jacket is a striking shade as well, especially for someone with blue eyes. He hasn't been wearing it long enough for me to comment on durability, but it is comfortable, attractive, and seems to be well-made.

Good Quality = Patagonia
The Better Sweater from Patagonia is a well-made cool weather "jacket." I am pleased with the fit, the workmanship, color and overall look of this clothing.

Favorite Sweater
Great year round comfortable sweater! Not as bulky as a jacket but just as warm!

Great sweater
I have three of these now, which I wear throughout winter and fall. I get lots of compliments. I recommend this product highly.

Nice and Warm
Love the design and VERY typical Patagonia Quality. True to size (large) and, although the sleeves seemed long, was typical for Patagonia sizing for their "regular" characterization.
Altrec shipping arrive a day ahead of the "predicted" delivery date. Very nice surprise.
Cannot rate durability as I've only had it for a week. No wind protection and not intended to be (see product notes).

Extremely Comfortable
I now have two of these and wear them as jackets on not so windy days in New England.
I'm a big guy (5'11"- 250lbs) and this sweater fits perfect. The sweater has two large internal pockets that allow for added convenient storage which comes in handy if you have to navigate through airport security as much as I do.

Great Jacket
Another great product by Patagonia. This jacket/sweater works perfect for cooler fall/spring temps. Fits true to size and very soft and warm. I am 5'10 175 and the size L fits nice.

This jacket is great!
I'm very glad that I decided to get this Patagonia product. As with all Patagonia, it is very well made. It is cozy warm. A cross between a fleece and a sweater. Wonderful!

I thought I was getting this item in blue. I guess I only payed attention to the photo and not the color description. I ended up getting Burlap. Not one of my favorite colors. Regardless, I think this item is great. Super comfy! Too bad it's the middle of summer and I have no reason to wear it yet.
