Comments about Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Vest - Men's:

I was very disappointed with this jacket, especially since Patagonia has such a good reputation. The material seemed high quality, but the design is poor. The zip stitching is very stiff almost all along its length (it's due to the stitching of the chest and lower hand pockets along the zip), which wouldn't be too bad if it didn't have a small 4-inch flexible portion just below the chest. Because of the stiffness the jacket doesn't bend with your body. Worst part is that the zip bows out in front when you sit down or bend down, and because it bends at the small flexible portion of the zip, it juts out like something was sticking out of your chest. Besides looking very weird, it feels very uncomfortable in any position but upright. I wouldn't mind this if the jacket was cheap. But for this price and for the standard that you expect from Patagonia, the jacket is not good.
