This was my first purcahse from Patagonia/Altrec and I must say that I am more than pleased. The 1/4 better sweater was a gift and my wife now wears it every day. Thanks ALTREC!

should be named the best sweater
Yeah budddyyy! They accurately named this sweater, it truly is a better sweater. Nice, warm, and received lots of compliments on it. It is fuzzy on the inside and that was a nice surprise. Love the sleeve pocket too.

Awesome sweater
I bought this as a Christmas present for both myself and my daughter. I am 5'7"/125 lbs and took a small, which fits perfectly. It's fitted without being tight and I still have room for a t-shirt or thin t-neck underneath. I LOVE this sweater. Having worn it all winter, I can now say after nearly six months that it launders beautifully and still looks new after quite a few washings (cold, low dryer briefly/mostly air dry). My 13 yr. old is petite (5'2"/95 lbs) and found the XS to be a bit roomy since she prefers quite a fitted look. She didn't wear hers nearly as much but I'm sure she will wear it more next winter after she "grows into it" more. We both got the gray, which is a nice "soft," heathered color that goes with just about anything. For me, it's a bit pricey but well worth the indulgence.

Love it
Great looking, warm and comfy! Sleeves are a little tight, may need to go up a size. Washes beautifully.

Better Sweater is just that.
I purchased this sweater for my daughter (who has recently become a patagoniac) and she loves it. It's a little dressier than her Re-Tool and has more of fitted style. The wool like exterior without the itch is an incredible design. Like all Patagonia gear it's sure to last for years.

Another beautiful Patagonia product!
Another beautiful product from Patagonia. Soft fuzzy inside, classy knit-like exterior. It fits beautifully for me (I'm 5'4", 120 lbs) in a small. My biggest dilemma is what other color I would like ... I am very satisfied with the colour, durability, warmth, and fit of the fleece -- and, of course, Patagonia's commitment to socially and environmental responsible production.

Wonderful!!
Love this sweater! Very soft on the inside, seems very durable. I've been eyeing it for months, and the weather is finally getting cold enough to wear. Slightly fitted, but very comfortable and roomy enough for a tank or tee underneath. Patagonia has become my staple, and this is no exception!

VERY WARM, attractive color and shape
I bought this 1/4 zip after seeing it in the window at patagonia, when I went back to get it they were sold out of the color I wanted...this sweater is more like a thick fleece and has zero itch to it, I wore it out fishing on a cold fall day and had to shed it because it was too warm for sunny 60 degrees. I now have both the full zip and the 1/4 zip, the fit is superb, it's a slim fit, but has longer arms and hits just right at mid section, I'm 5'6 130pds, the medium fit just right as my shoulders are broader than most females at my size. The condor grey is more like a rich taupish chocolate, the pic does it no justice, well worth the money if you're thinking it's pricey for what it is...I'll be getting another color in both the 1/4 zip and the full zip.

worth the wait
I've wanted this sweater since last season but never ended up buying it. I finally ordered it and it was well worth the wait! The lining is very soft--not what I expected, but great. I'm 5'9", 140 lbs, and the medium is perfect. I almost ordered the small and am glad I didn't.

Nice looking sweater but it runs small.
This is a quality made product. However I found it to run a bit small. I am 5'3" and weigh 125 and the small was tight.

Love it.
I tried this sweater in the oatmeal color on a whim and fell in love with it--the fit is very flattering and it is super warm. The color is fantastic--subtle and interesting texture. I am 5'10" on the thin side and appreciate the fact that this is the first fleece I have owned that doesn't look like a square on me. Definitely worth the price and I have a feeling I'll be buying more since I wear this one all the time.

exactly as promised
My sweater arrived super fast and I love it. It is a perfect top as it feels like fleece but looks a bit dressier . I need another one asap and I'm getting it here on Altrec.

Buying more
I am 5'6 125 with a long torso and a small fits me perfect. Sometimes Patagonia gear can be a bit boxy but this sweater is long and slender and keeps you warm in the cold.

Perfect.
I now have one of these in 4 different colors. The Better Sweater is great on many levels. It is very warm, keeps the wind out, and the women's is tailored nicely so wind doesn't make its way in at the waist. It does run small, the large is snug. It is sooo soft, and it looks like a sweater. The quality is amazing. The colors are beautiful, although the green/grey is not what I expected. So glad I stumbled across this item. Better than just about any fleece I have.
