It's the perfect weigt fleece jacket that's nicely styled. However, I always end up between sizes with Patagonia. I tried the XS (5'5", 112 lbs) and as usual it fits everywhere but across my back because I have shoulders! The chest is fine (32D). If I size up it'll look like a potato sack. Oh well.
The fabric is stiff and of lesser quality than other Patagonia apparel I own. That said, it looks great on especially with a royal blue top.
Very soft and warm. Fit nice. The big issue is the shedding. My seat belt is covered in fuzzies as well my cloth car seat and anytime I paired with a black legging, it’s covered with shedding.
I generally like the fit but the jacket sheds A LOT! I have white fluff everywhere, especially an my car's seatbelt strap and my shirts.
Love this jacket ! Glad rei had my size, no one else did!
