Snug and stiff
Ordered this jacket (small) hoping it would become my new windproof Florida "winter coat." Snug fit in the shoulders and arms, combined with the rough windproof lining, prevents wearing it over a sweater or layers because it won't slide freely over my clothing. The sleeves are a little long and the stiff lining makes the excess length bunched up on my lower arms feel bulky and uncomfortable when I push the sleeves up to my wrists. I like the jacket but won't order the medium because all the extra bulky sleeve length is not comfortable. Jacket is not for you if you have wide shoulders and like a looser fit in the shoulders and arms.
Hands down, this is THE casual cold weather jacket
Patagonia nailed it with this one. Patagonia's experience in product design really shows in this jacket - a testament to Patagonia's experience in cold weather gear over the many years. It may not be the jacket you take backpacking - it is not exactly stuffable or compressable. But it is stylish and warm for casual wear, and has no problem helping you battle the elements. The last couple of days have been below freezing and windy, and this jacket has handled it like a champ. Plus it looks really good. I am 5"3", 130lb, athletic, and the small fits perfect. The chest pocket fits my iPhone 8, and the windproofing material puts up an incredible fight against gusts while remaining breathable. Easily 5 stars!
BEST INVESTMENT
In the Women's Patagonia Re-Tool Fleece jackets, I typically take a L (due to broad shoulders), however, after reading reviews about this Retro- X Fleece jacket, I decided to order both the M and L and decide. The L was WAY too big all over, especially the arms. The M was the prefect fit, allowing me room to wear a sweater or something heavier underneath. Since I've purchased this, I have been wearing it non-stop!
not what I expected but I love it
I got this kind of expecting a soft cozy fleece to pull on before bed or something. This jacket is not exactly that. It has an internal breathable layer so you don’t feel the fleece from the inside, outside only. It’s a little more structured than I anticipated as well. The collar is hard to fold down because of that so sometimes when I’m doing something more active it can get in my nerves and make me feel like I need to take it off. However I think this is warmer than my winter coat, it blocks out a lot more wind than you would expect, it’s tough, warm, sturdy, reliable, big big pockets (major plus), kinda fits like a dudes jacket in a way but not enough to change the size. I normally get a large and that’s what I got and it fits great. If you want a soft cozy little fleece you can bring along this isn’t it. If you want a nice fleece jacket with a cool pattern, lots of warmth and good storage this is great! would buy again
Very warm and well-made, but stiff fit
I was so excited about this jacket when I ordered it. I was looking for a thick fleece, and I loved the colors and design of this one. Unfortunately, I did not love the inside lining of it. It makes the jacket very stiff and not as comfortable- the trade-off is that the lining makes the jacket incredibly warm. I will be returning it because I did not love it enough to justify the $200 on it, but it is a very well made and durable jacket.
Roomy and warm
I waited about a year and a half to purchase due to the price pont. I can’t say it’s worth paying full price, but it is a quality jacket. I’m glad I went with my usual XS — this jacket runs a little large and if I had sized up to a S, the midsection would have been far too big. I’ve got a shorter torso and longer limbs so the sleeve length was perfect. Plenty of room to wear a sweater or a vest or even my packable down jacket underneath. I much rather preferred last year’s color ways but went with the mushroom/taupe option to match my hooded bivy vest from a few years back. This fleece will likely replace all my others in my closet, and will definitely be in my bag when we’re out cabin camping this upcoming autumn/winter.
Great sturdy jacket!
This jacket is super study and warm. It does have a boxy fit and was pretty stiff when I first got it. After wearing it 5-6 times out including a camping trip it is starting to become less stiff. The collar also likes to stand straight up but it definitely becomes more flexible as time goes on also. The pockets are also great, lots of storage! Definitely think this will be a jacket that will do me well for years to come.
Warm!
I'm so happy with this jacket! Great blue color. Very warm. More coat than sweatshirt/fleece.
Stiffer than anticipated
I so wanted to love this fleece, but I couldn't get over how stiff it was! It felt like it had a thin cardboard lining, which may have been for warmth, but why do that if you can't bend your elbows? Overall, super cute, very warm, but not at all for moving around in.
Worth the buy but be cautious of size
This was perfect for some really cold winds, and I am sure it will do great in case of light rain. Very worth the buy. I got the large size, and I am typically a size 10 in women's and it was quite snug. I would have preferred more room in case of layers.
