worth the money
Although, this was, in my opinion, expensive, I have no regrets. It’s warm and I commonly wear it under my thinner puffy. It’s great quality and I saw some reviews prior to buying that said it ran small. I would agree with this, but I decided to buy (online) true to my size and it fits pretty perfectly. I am a small framed person and normally wear a small. I don’t like tight clothing in general and this is snug, but not too tight for my preference. If you want to wear it as your outer layer with multiple layers then I suggest sizing up. I wear it most commonly as a mid (winter time), or outer (fall) and I don’t feel bulky.
The perfect hoodie
I am a huge Patagonia fan, so it's no surprise that I love this hoodie. It's flattering, warm, and the pockets are the perfect size. I'd say that the oxblood color is a touch lighter than what's pictured but it's still a deep rich red. I like that there's an arm pocket as well, a feature that you don't always see on hoodies. The hood is also a great size, probably couldn't fit a helmet underneath but comfortable. I'm 5'9", 130 lbs, and the XS fits great including sleeve length and it hits me right below my hips.
Not truth to color on website
I ordered Smokey Violet and expected to get light purple jacket like it is shown on REI website. But I received my Smokey Violet in GREY, you can see the label on a picture it is Smokey Violet. No doubt it is going back. I wish company would manage their website better, it is would save me time and money.
Warm and lots of pocket space
I've had the no-hood version of this for many years but quit wearing it because I've lost so much weight it makes me look like a bag lady. I ordered the "classic navy", which is more like a nice denim blue. I've been wearing it for cold-morning (about 35 degrees) walks, and it keeps me nice and toasty, even when there's a bit of wind chill. The hood could use a drawstring, but otherwise it's ideal. Love all the pockets. I'm 5'8, 130 pounds with long arms and the Medium fits great.
My favorite, go to sweater!
I purchased this sweater in an XS and for reference, I’m 5’2” 108lbs. I’ve worn this thing so many times!! It’s less tight after wearing it so much but I’m avoiding washing it because I love the fit now! The Birch White color is pretty much what the photo shows.. maybe a touch lighter? This color goes with everything! I’ve had no pilling as others have mentioned and since it fits close to the body, I can put a larger jacket on top to layer. The hood is comfortable too and stays on my head which is a plus! Head and up, I own the Patagonia Re-Tool Snap-T Pullover too and purchased that one in a Small. I’d say this fleece fits ‘true to size’ as most things (shirts, sweaters, jackets) that I own are an XS. The hand pockets have zippers on them which I love so that things don’t fall out. The material is thick enough to not let wind pass through but is still super soft. This sweater is warm and comfortable and I’d recommend it to anyone interested!
Very odd fit
It's a lovely sweater, but the fit is off. I may take someone elses suggestion and look at the mens version of this sweater. So i'm 5'6 and 140lbs and chose a size M. It's very fitted on the shoulders and waist but the length of the arms was really off. I would have kept it if it wasn't for that. It's just not worth putting over $100 just to have a weird look.
So comfortable, but size up!
I own a classic better sweater zip up jacket and loved that this one had a hood! I’ve been eyeing this one for months and was so excited when I saw the amazing sale! Definitely size up so it is easier to layer over other clothing. The only downfall is this fabric does start to pill after time. I ordered both the birch white and smoky jade since my other jacket is also birch white. I ended up returning the smoky jade since it was darker than pictured! I was expecting it to be a brighter lilac since it appeared as such in the photos. I love how soft the inside of this jacket is and the pockets are perfect!
Runs small!
I was excited to buy Patagonia, but a little disappointed when this item arrived. I ordered a Large, and typically wear a Medium. Still, this item is snug, especially with a thicker sweatshirt underneath.
Wanted to love it but weird fit
At first glance this hoodie seemed like it would be the perfect shoulder season or winter layering piece but after trying it on, the fit was just too weird and it's going back. The armpits are strangely tight -- yes, armpits -- so the armhole was much smaller than usual. But the rest of the size was spot-on and the quality and overall design is great. So it might work on your armpits...just not mine! (I'm 5'8" and 135ish with a small chest and ordered a Small -- my usual Patagonia size.)
Great value
Run, don't walk, to purchase this at 50% off! This hooded fleece Patagonia is soft, warm, flattering, and the birch white color is to die for. My friend in Denver owns and lives in the non-hooded version of this jacket. When I saw the hooded for only $78 I knew it was a steal and I ordered it - SO happy with my purchase. For reference, I am 5'7" 145 lbs, and ordered a Small. It fits great, is flattering, and comfortable. The Medium was far too big where the zipper and stomach puffed out. In the Nano Puff jacket I am between a size small and medium, due to the shoulder width. I think I will keep the medium in that because this hooded fleece fits perfectly when layered under the Nano Puff. Buy this hoodie now, you won't regret it, especially at a great price.
