I review my Patagonia Better Sweater, which I have worn for nearly 5 years straight, to give you 5 pros and 2 areas of improvement. This jacket rocks!

Very nice review. I got mine today but i was disapointed. I was really windy today , i feel all the wind in my arms, i was expecting to be more protective. Do i need to use a specific undeware to not feel the wind? Thanks
@181Days2 жыл бұрын
Yes you are correct! It is not windproof at all. It's actually sort of amazing how much wind goes through it. But I've found that just a long sleeve shirt, or a flannel, under it makes it completely different. When I know it's cold and I'm wearing just that sweater out, I'll usually throw something under it with long sleeves. Hope you enjoy it!

It's "overpriced" because Patagonia fairly sources their materials and pays the manufacturers a fair wage.

I’ll trade my patagonia better sweater with you! I have the light grey one. It pills, shrunk and collar bows, it carries smells. I 100% disagree with your review. Not my experience at all.

Thanks for the feedback! I have heard this from a few people since making this review which makes me wonder if they have begun to make it more cheaply or something. I'm astonished at the quality of mine, but I have had it for some years. It looks just like the new ones, but maybe something has changed! Sorry you had a bad experience! My wife just bought a brand new one for the first time. I'll keep an eye on how it wears!

I've had this particular one for about 9 years now and while it did pill at one point, I just trimmed them off and cleaned it and it looked like new. This is the coat I wear every time I fly or travel (often it's the only coat I bring because sometimes I use it as a pillow when I stay somewhere cheap) so it's gotten a lot of wear and miles on it. It's definitely possible they've changed the recipe on this thing in recent years, but I'm still impressed with how mine has held up.
