    Comments about Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket - Women's:

    I use the jacket for anything from running to the store, to a walk or hike, to boating or camping. It's perfect to wear by itself or layer over or under something. I am 5'10'' and often find it difficult to find jackets long enough. I bought a medium and it fits perfectly. It falls at my waste, sleeves are long enough, and its not too tight or too loose around the middle. It is warm and comfortable and very versatile. I originally bought black and had to buy another when the lemon lime came out.

    This jacket looks great, nice stylish fit, so much better than a run-of-the-mill fleece. Good hip length on me (5'7") and is comfortable for everyday or light hiking. The "Natural" color has a heathered look.

      This is a great sweater/coat! It's very cute and the brushed cotton on the inside is very cozy! I haven't wanted to take it off since I purchased it! I am tall and thin and the small fit perfectly, both the torso and sleeves are a good length! Love the pink and blue. I saw the natural in the store and it was a little bland, gray rather than cream.

        Comments about Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket - Women's:

        I bought this sweater as I liked the style and have heard good things about the Patagonia brand. After a year of use, it doesn't look that good anymore. Lots of pills all over the garment and it looks grungy in spite of washing. I wouldn't say that I washed it too frequently, maybe every other week according to the washing instructions. I would also say that the torso is a bit too long. I have a rather long torso and it is probably 2-3 inches too long. It is a nice sweater, just definitely not worth [$]

        I would wear this everyday if I could. Thankfully living in Indianapolis you have quite a few days that you need a little more than a light jacket. Great for those 40s-to low 60s. Plus it is very cute and I've gotten lots of compliments on it.

        Comments about Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket - Women's:

        I debated on spending the money on this fleece for a long time. I live in the mountains of CO where it is winter 9 months of the year and regularly travel overseas. I was so surprised by how comfy the jacket was and the fit was perfect. I'm 5'8" and weigh 135 lbs, with a long torso and arms. It is hard for me to find a jacket to fit and usually have to size up for the arms then waste energy warming the excess space in the torso. This jacket fit so well I decided to spend the extra money on it and got the small in the grey color. It is perfect for traveling as well since it is not bulky like most fleece jackets. Just wish it was wind resistant.

          So great to wear to the playground and around town. Slightly tapered waist makes it flattering, and big pockets for snacks, keys, cell-phones and matchbox cars.

          I absolutely love this jacket! I was in need of a new fleece/ warm layer and this works perfectly! I have it in the natural color and it still manages to hide dirt after 4 or 5 days of backpacking. The cut is impeccable, its fitted enough to run errands in and go out but not constricting. I like that the sleeves are a bit long (or perhaps my arms are a wee short), I often tuck my hands up when biking. The pockets are wonderful, my ski pass still scans through the material on the arm pocket. Overall, a wonderful jacket, very toasty but not very windproof! Sometimes I wish it had a hood but the collar can be zipped high to cover your neck. Highly recommended.

              The only con would be that I fall somewhere between a small and extra small. The small is just a smidge bigger than i would like it to be in the arm length and body length. The extra small isn't big enough through the back. But I love the jacket!

                I wore this several days hiking at Big Bend. It's a great jacket for casual wear too, and looks brand new even after being worn nonstop for five days.
