This hoodie has it all - warm, soft, stylish and cozy...I had my eye on this hoodie for a long time but shied away because of the price. With the clearance price I took a gamble and purchased...and immediately ordered every available color in my size. This hoodie can function as outerwear, a mid-layer or an everyday hoodie without missing a beat. The fit is accurate with room for a light layer underneath and the cut is very flattering - could be worn with leggings, no problem. Other reviews have suggested it runs large or small; I'd say it runs true to size unless you're looking for something fitted. Highly recommend!
I went to REI with the intentions of buying a different Patagonia sweater that was on sale. However, I saw this in the "Pelican" cream color and just had to try it on. It was 1000x better than the one I thought I wanted. It is so versatile... I could wear it as a jacket, as a sweater, and it is outdoorsy while still being stylish... it checked all the boxes that I just had to get it over the one on sale that didn't blow me away. I have worn this every day since I have bought it and I never want to take it off. It is SO warm, I am always cold so that is a plus. It is true to size (but not true to Patagonia sizes, I am usually a Medium in Patagonia, but a Small everywhere else, I bought this in a Small). I find the fit of most Patagonia sweaters to be weird, but this one was perfect.
I tried this on in both the blue and brown color. It was a tough decision since I loved both. This jacket is super soft and warm, not too thin and not too bulky, I normally wear a size 8, I ended up choosing the blue in size small. I noticed that the brown runs a little bit smaller, so if I'd opted for the brown color, I'd have sized up to medium. Great quality at a fair price from Patagonia.
I love brown, and it has just been making an appearance finally this year! I further love Patagonia their attention to detail is great, such as the piping of blue with the brown...... Love this! I am a big jeans wearer and this coordinates so well!! The fit is great love the softness of the interior too!!!!! I bought the size small and it fits well..... sometimes I size down if items say they run large..... me 108# 32 A 26 35 its generous to add layers but not sloppy by any means.
I bought this a month ago and have worn for few times and pilling issue is very serious!
The brown color is the cutest thing ever. Everrrr!
This hoodie is the most delicious thing I’ve worn in a while. Oh man it’s so nice and snuggly but still flattering. I am 5’8” 145 lbs and usually on the border of small and medium for Patagonia. The small of this fit me well in the shoulders but I got the medium so it fully covered my bum. This jacket is WARM and cozy, washes well, and ugh I’m just so happy I got it. I love it a gazillion times more than my better sweaters.
Great fleece; warm and cozy for outdoor or indoor use! Fleece looks just like the photos. I ordered the brown and love the color! Sizing: TTS I am 5'9", size 4-6. I ordered a S, it did fit just fine, but found it a bit shorter than I wanted. I returned for a M to get some extra length and it's perfect.
Great jacket - fills the role of being a lightweight yet warm alternative to a heavy winter coat. Love the hood, and the 3 zippered pockets with pull tabs. Generously sized. Unfortunately this jacket pills -- I wore it 2 times before noticing the pills. Keeping the jacket
This jacket is warm and comfy ! The zippers are a nice deatail.the jacket is a little longer in the back and its a nice touch, flattering. I love the neutral color also. Im 120 lbs. and went with the xs.
