One of Patagonias Best
I have been using Patagonia gear for 15+ years and this is one of my favorite items. They have taken their great quality and comfort and made a fantastic update to a classic fleece. The slim fit cut is modern and flattering; it is just as appropriate running errands around town as it is a technical layer. The side zip pockets (and one on arm) are useful and are lined with the same warm inner fleece layer as the body of the jacket. This jacket also hits just below the hips on me which is very useful for most activities, i never feel like i am tugging at its hem. All said, everyone in my family has one (or a variant) of the Better Sweater line, you cannot go wrong with such a versatile piece.

Really warm
This jacket is really warm and soft and typical of the excellent quality expected from Patagonia. I also liked the longer sleeves and length of the jacket. One con - the jacket is not windproof.

Love this jacket!
This is a great jacket, very comfortable, warm & stylish! What more can you ask for? I also love the color-I got the lemon-lime and it is a great color!

Perfect
I bought a black Better Sweater to replace an El Cap fleece I used for years and lost. The Better Sweater is a little more substantial and definitely more stylish. I am 5'9", 140 lb, and the small is perfect for wearing over a t-shirt. If I wanted to wear it over a bulkier long-sleeve shirt, a medium probably would be better. I prefer the fitted style of the small for wearing around town, as well as hiking. I have a long torso and found the Better Sweater to be just the right length, so it might be too long on someone with a shorter torso. The sleeves are the perfect length for me.

great sweater
I have several of these and love them. They are very warm and
wonderful in winter. The sleeves are long but I'm 5"2 1/2" and
most sleeves are long for me. The length is longer than most fleece jackets which is great in winter. It layers well under a winter coat.
It's a bit hot for spring and fall, though. The jackets have worn well
and don't pill.

Well made and very warm
Comfortably warm for a very cold ice rink yet flexible enough to move well in. Fits a little small, had to go up a size to wear layers. Pretty colors offered; I bought three, love them all.

Patagonia Better Sweater
I've been looking for a full zip sweater with pockets for some time and was excited when I found this one. However the collar stands up too tall and chafe my neck and the sleeves were too long, which is very unusual as i have very long arms. The zipper puckered in the center, not laying flat. Lastly, the arms were too tight making it hard to wear long sleeved tops underneath. Had to return.

Patagonia Better Sweater
This sweater was recommended to my by my cousin. She said it was super warm and was most definitely right. I love the brown color and do think this is one of the warmest jackets that i now own .

Love this fleece
My sister got a better sweater jacket, and after trying hers I had to have one. I love that it is warm with the fleece on the inside and looks like a sweater on the outside. The fit is great, and another bonus, it doesn't show dog hair like regular fleece does! Another thing I love about Patagonia is there are so many awesome colors to choose from, you'll definitely want more than one better sweater jacket.

So much nicer than a regular fleece
This is a great looking sweater with the benefit of having fleece lining. I have a regular Patagonia fleece but this one just looks so much nicer and is more versatile. The Medium fits perfectly for me, although according to the size guide I am in between Small and Medium - I definitely think Patagonia runs generally small to size. Highly recommended!

This Patagonia Better Sweater is the best everyday jacket I have ever had. It really does feel like a sweater but keeps you as warm as a jacket. I love the look and feel of it.

Color isn't what I thought..
I ordered this jacket in the "natural" color for my mom for christmas. I was disappointed when I opened it because the color was primarily gray and somewhat dark than in the photo. With that being said the style and comfort was still excellent and my mom tells me that it is incredibly warm.

versatile and good-looking
This is a great product for those of us who would love to wear fleece to work, but need to look a little more polished. The sleeves and length are a little long on me, but the fit is close to the body, which makes the sweater seem more work-appropriate. I'll be order several more as gifts, having admired this on a colleague before buying my own.

Very nice!
I bought blue butterfly and the color is beautiful. The inside fleece is so soft I'd want to wear it on my bear skin! I’m 5’2”, 110lbs; and S fits perfectly except the sleeves are a bit too long for me. I wanted to wear fleece pullover under this item when it is cold but ther is not much room except a tee shirt or a lighter top. I was undecided whether to buy hoody one, but I thought I could wear a nice scarf instead. I’m very satisfied with this jacket and thinking about buying another Patagonia item.

Amazing!!!
I first tried this sweater/jacket by accident, my best friend let me borrow it while we out because I was cold. As soon as I put it on, I was in love! The fleece inside is so warm and the outside material makes it very versatile to wear with casual or nicer outfits. This sweater is one of the best purchases I have made. Well worth the money! Just watch the size, I am size 6/8 and a large fits me perfectly!

Love at first touch
I just received my Better Sweater from the friendly FedEx man and I had to jump online to write a review ASAP. This is the most comfortable, warm, and good-looking sweater that I own! It's a stylish sweater on the outside with all the character and comfort of a fleece on the inside. It's a slim fit, actually, so it doesn't layer well, but it doesn't need it. Serious warmth the moment you pop it on and zip it up.
