Wanted to love it, but not quite right
February 28, 2013
I bought this jacket with high expectations, I love patagonia fleeces and jackets (I have an R1, R2, Retool snap tee, better sweater, nanopuff, Primo etc..) however, this one fell a little short of my expectations. The overall fit was consistant with the rest of patagonia sizing, I where a L in all they're jackets (except the Primo) and the Retro X fit well with the exception on length, it could have been 2 inches longer. My biggest complaint was the color, I ordered the natural which looks fairly white on the website but in real life its much more of a darkish cream and because its so fuzzy it looks like they sheared a sheep and made it a jacket. That being said, it was fuzzier than I had anticipated (guess I should have gotten the jacket instead of the cardigan). Other than the length and color, I loved this jacket, the inside is a smooth finish, not fleece which makes it easy to layer. I tried it on over a R1 pull over and it was a nice snug fit. I would recommend this Jacket to anyone that has a shorter torso and wants a very warm, fuzzy jacket.
Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Cons: color different than what it looks like onlineAlready own the Patagonia Retro-X Cardigan? Tell us your thoughts.
