Our Verdict
The Patagonia Better Sweater Vest combines style, functionality, and environmental responsibility in one versatile layer. Made from 100% recycled polyester fleece, it offers the warmth and comfort of a sweater with the durability and easy care of fleece.
The full-zip design with a stand-up collar provides adjustable warmth and protection from the elements. Offset shoulder seams ensure comfort when wearing a backpack, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. With two zippered hand pockets and a chest pocket, there's ample storage for small essentials.
Depending on size, weighing 366g and 448g, it's light enough for layering but substantial enough to provide meaningful warmth. The low-impact dyeing process and bluesign® certification demonstrate Patagonia's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
