The Patagonia Better Sweater is not just any other fleece. It’s a fleece which is quite evidently, even just from the look of it, built to be a serious bit of outdoors kit. Look closer and you’ll find it’s a fleece that follows up on those initial impressions as well.
Behind the sweater-knit face there’s a moisture-wicking fleece interior. What this means is that it’ll keep you comfy in the warm and cosy in the cold. And that’s it probably going to be the first garment you end up reaching for every time you’re about to leave the house.
“It’s made in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner, it’s comfortable, and it can keep up with the worst of conditions.”
This works just as well as a top layer when it’s not raining as it does as a layer beneath a shell jacket in the cold and wet. It also doesn’t look half bad down the coffee shop either. It features hand-warming pockets and a stand-up collar designed for neck comfort. The fleece is designed to hold shape too and move with your body. If you’re out on the mountain and you’re wearing this, you’re not going to have a problem with comfort.
