If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
Got this fleece for fall hiking with my newborn hoping the zipper would be low enough to make nursing on the trail easier - and it has been perfect so far! So cozy and practical.
I originally ordered this in a SM which is standard size for me in Patagonia but it was way too boxy. I just loved the color brown (DUBN) so much but sent it back....a few months later I saw it again and decided to order in XS and it is absolutely perfect!
I really love this fleece. It fits on the smaller side, which I like because it is not too oversized and does not look boxy. It does not shed. Super warm!
I am so impressed with the cut and practicality of this fleece. It easy on and off, has a secure zippered pouch/pocket in front, looks great on, is so comfortable and is wearing very well. Thinking Id better order another. Im 5ft 9in and 132 lbs - the medium fits perfectly.
But the fit was huge! Really wide in the body. I like my clothes baggy but this was too baggy. I wear women's L in all other Patagonia products that I own.
Thanks for your feedback on this fleece top, Ann! We're sorry it was disappointing. Please reach out to our Customer Service team if you'd like any assistance with product measurements or suggestions. We'll be happy to help!

Super Warm!
This pullover fits great and is super warm. So warm I can skip a coat over the top even when temps are below freezing. A bit too warm to wear in the office but great for bumming around outside.
I got this pullover as I have other Patagonia fleece jackets. I liked it however the material of the marsupial pocket seems like it would tear. The waist hem was also very tight. I wear XS in Patagonia so it seemed weird to me it was so tight. The right sleeve at the shoulder seemed larger than the left. The color was nice, but. not flattering for ... Read Moremy skin tone. Unfortunately, I returned it. For the price you pay for Patagonia it should be perfect fit.
For casual wear, this fleece pills and sheds sooooo much. Everywhere in my house are the fuzz balls that fall off the fleece. Plus, you can only imagine how many nano particles are entering our waters after each wash. My dryer lint filter is always full of this fleece lint after washing. I usually wear a small, but opted for the medium this time bc... Read More these are hard to put on, however, this one does have a better, deeper neck zipper, so is easier to pull over.

Very Warm
Great pullover. Super warm.
It would however be great if Patagonia would standardize sizes. I have several re-tool snap-t pullovers in the same size as the retro but the retro is larger in the shoulders and body.

I want to love it
Purchased this in the Santa Cruz Outlet store during the 40% off sale, I usually wear a small or medium but I went with a large for the oversize look. I was happy to purchase it but I ended up having to return it. The style is classic but I noticed significant gaps between threads on the material, it became quite hard to ignore. I thought those loo... Read Morese knitting are made to vent and make the jacket more breathable. After wearing it for half a day, I found the fleece material everywhere on my pants, seatbelt and purse. The fleece can be easily pulled or rubbed off when the jacket contact with other materials. It is such a shame because I truly do love the jacket, it is soft and comfortable, I just wish the quality of this jacket is as good as how Patagonia used to be.
I absolutely love this pullover! The fit, color and it does keep you warm. This Retro Pile Fleece Pullover is a lot softer than you think! I will order another one in a different color! I wear for work and every day.
I had bought this pullover for my girlfriend and she uses it everyday, it provides great warmth without being overly hot. It's a very light pullover so easy to take anywhere. Also to add easy to clean!
I love this pullover! It's stylish, soft, comfortable and keeps me warm! The pockets are so functional, especially the middle pocket with zipper. LOVE!
We ordered this pullover for our college student daughter for Christmas and she loves it! Cozy, toasty-warm and still very light weight, it's perfect for layering.
Love it. Very warm, breathable, roomy - great look with the textured fleece. The neck fits just right - some fleece jackets are too tight, but not this one. One quibble: the pouch is lined with a flimsy t-shirt thin poly material - not exactly cozy and feels kind of unpleasant. It should be lined with similar, thick fleece material as the rest of t... Read Morehe pullover for comfort. Also, suggestion: next year, can you ditch the two tone look for the "natural" color? Just *100%* natural and not a contrast blue or contrast anything would be excellent. That way it goes with everything and is easier on the eyes.
Sharp Coziness
The flattering fit of this pullover lets me work and play in comfort and ease. I love the perfect neutral shade of gray along with the textured look of the retro pile fleece. My favorite detail: the acid green grosgrain ribbon zipper tabs which give this top an unexpected style punch.
My daughter wanted this oversized and adores it. She put it on after receiving it yesterday. The size was chosen large for her but she loves it. A huge hit!
I ordered the Dusky Brown color and it was purple/lavender color (not a pinkish brown) Nice fleece otherwise. The color needs to be edited to match better.
Bought this for my daughter for her trip to Italy. She is very pleased with the fit and quality. Has worn it in the slightly chilly evens while walking the streets of the cities of Italy !
This pullover is deliciously soft and warm. I love the kangaroo pocket on the front, it is the perfect size to stow my phone and keys and to keep my hands warm. Its nice quality and feels like it will last a long time.
I love this fleece! It is probably my new favorite. Its super snuggly and fits perfect. It is great for layering something underneath. The kangaroo pouch is the best ! I love having somewhere to put my hands or hold my phone. I may need to order a second.
This is super cozy and I wore it nonstop for several days until we had some windy weather and then I was freezing. This is not windproof, which is fine, just add a base layer, but I didn't realize how porous the material was until the wind started blowing. Oh, well. Otherwise, super snuggly and I really like it. Also, the color (shroom taupe) ... Read Moregoes with everything.
The second time wearing this I noticed wholes in sleeves near the wrist. The stitching was coming undone creating the wholes and I was really disappointed because I did like like this fleece but knew it was made poorly or mine was faulty.
I love this fleece. Wear it to walk the dog in the Am, on wfh days, when I change into comfy clothes at the end of non-wfh days. I wear it ALL the time. I would really give this 4.7 stars, but that's not an option, I very much wish the neck was just a little bit taller. I wanted the pockets though (for poop bags and everything else), so opted ... Read Morefor this knowing I wanted a higher neck. Also, on chilly mornings (50-60, def need to layer, just a t-shirt underneath leaves me chilled, put a long sleeve layer on too and it's perfect).

I love this pullover. Its like wearing a soft, cuddly blanket everywhere I go. Kangaroo pocket is amazing . I would never buy a pullover without pockets! These keep my hands warm outside on the pool deck . Would definitely recommend!
I love everything about this fleece - its warmth, fit, color - except that the hard edge of the zipper is exposed and bites into the soft skin under my neck when I zip it all the way up. I wish Patagonia had covered up the zipper corners with a little bit of fleece! I'm going to have to find a way to do it myself, since otherwise the full zip ... Read Moreis warm but uncomfortable.
I got mine as a gift a couple years back and it has been a go to for my adventures. Kept me perfectly dry and warm skiing Mammoth in the fall and camping in the (surprise) summer rain. Such a versatile piece. The medium is a bit oversized on me (5ft 4in) but I like it for layering:)
After trying different options, I purchased this pullover early this year and fell in love with its softness and look. I wish this were a 5-star review. However, after wearing it a couple of times, the fleece at the sides of the sleeves is breaking off. I have not washed it yet because I'm scared it will just shed. The quality of the fleece di...

Cozy and comfortable
I love this way better than all my other fleeces! The giant pocket (with zippers!) is great. Its warm but not too stuffy/hot when I get warmer, because the midline zipper goes down pretty far. I went with the medium because thats what my synchilla snap-Ts arebut this is more flattering on me than those are!
Love this fleece! My only complaint is that I cannot wear it with the zipper all the way closed. The raw zipper edges are very sharp and cut into my neck/chin. I am a little surprised because Patagonia usually is so good with these kinds of details.
I prefer my sweaters to be half zip for a variety of ways to wear my luxurious sweater. I purchased in all 3 colors. I also like to wear XL to layer my looks depending on where Im traveling.
I am now on my third retro pile fleece in 3 years. It's my favorite color and fit (the khaki), so I won't give up on it. The first one I bought, the elastic around the sleeve came apart within just a couple of months. They replaced it for free because it was under a year. The second one, the elastic on both sleeves started coming apart ag... Read Moreain, and also the inside of the pocket lining came apart from the fleece. I returned that and got a credit for about half because it was a little over a year later. I appreciate Patagonia and their return policy, but this seems to be an issue with this specific fleece, my other Patagonia fleeces and jackets don't do this. When I get the third one, I am probably going to reinforce the sleeves myself before they can pull apart.
I love this more than I thought it would...I originally just wanted something in this color (abalone blue), but also something cozy. After reading the reviews that this seems to run a bit large, I ordered a small which fits perfectly (I'd say it's more like a standard medium in other brands).
This thing is so darn cozy and I haven't... Read More experienced any shedding or issues. Really really happy with my purchase and thinking of getting more of this style in other colors.
The light blue pretty color and I get many compliments. Had originally ordered a size small (5' 102 lbs) but way to big and the XS fits perfectly with an extra layer underneath if needed. Cozy, warm and would highly recommend!
I love everything about this item! Color is great and washes nicely! Fits a bit loose on me but I dont like clingy clothing! Can layer it! Very warm! True to my sizing! But I always buy medium unless its unisex sizing!
I bought it mainly for the color, but hoped I would like the "retro" fabric as well. But as other reviewers have mentioned, it seemed like the pile would get matted with washing, and the lining of the marsupial pocket seemed really cheap. I got a large size because it was the only one left, but I sent it back.
I am so happy with this purchase. It is my first time every buying Patagonia after wishing to for years and Im so glad this is the style I went with. I really hope they come back with more colors because I will definitely be buying more.
I am 511 150lbs and the XL fit perfect. The arms were actually long enough!
I love all the zipper pockets and the sherpa like exterior, I sized up to wear it looser. The large fits extremely big but I enjoy the look and comfort. I am not a big fan of the arms not being fitted but overall satisfied with my purchase.
Nice to Wear Casually Around or to Layer When Snowboarding
This pull over is super soft, cozy, and light. It serves as a warm thermal layer when under a jacket and keeps you warm when wearing around running errands.
I havent taken this off since it arrived! The perfect fleece for all day wear during these freezing Midwest winters! I got a medium and its roomy, with room for layering, just like I wanted! Washes well. Is so so soft. Im 53, 145lbs. 10/10 recommend!
I have serval Patagonia Better Sweaters and decided I wanted something just as warm and comfortable. This Retro Marsupial is perfect. It fits looser and the big pocket in the front is useful without adding bulk. It hits a little below the waist which I like, and still keeps the drafty wind out. I plan on getting another color to complete my collect... Read Moreion.
Love this pullover. The zip up mock neck is cute and warm. I love the brown and coral colors. I am 52 110lbs and the small is Comfy slightly oversized fit I was going for.
I was super in love with this color and went to REI to try one on in person. The fit was weird. Loved the length, but the torso was boxy, and the sleeves were short. The sleeves also hit low towards my boob area rather than higher towards my arm pit. Overall it was a strange fit that just looked bad. Im really disappointed. Patagonia use to have su... Read Morech flattering cuts. I dont know what happened, but can you PLEASE fix the fit issue?
I love the style of this pullover, and the fleece is super soft and warm. Fit is true to size with a bit of extra room for layering. However, the stitching around the hem started unravelling after one wear, which is disappointing at this price point - overall I think the quality of this item is not at the usual standard.
Hi Gillian, thank you for sharing your experience with this pullover. We're so sorry to hear this one's stitching isn't holding up as we would expect it to!

Cute but pills
I got this fleece just beige Christmas. I love the look, fit and weight of it. Cozy, cute and warm. But Ive worn 3-4 times, washed once, its pilling horribly. Very disappointing. As a family of 5, we own a lot of Patagonia, and this is not up to their normal standards.
Hi Emily, we're so sorry to hear about your experience with pilling. To prevent pilling, we recommend washing that item either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get abraded.
To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again.
Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your gear, you are absolutely welcome to send it in for a [warranty returns](https://www.patagonia.com/home/) evaluation under our Ironclad Guarantee.

Comfortable and warm
The sweater is comfortable and warm but the fuzzies keep coming off which is annoying.

When I opened the box to ensure the size /color were correct, I was Blown away! NOW I GET IT!! Its worth every Penny ! I plan to buy one for myself next ! Lol
I got this for my girlfriend because she wanted the marsupial pocket to keep warm during walks and hikes. It was the main reason for the purchase. The pocket is cavernous and not lined.

Cozy but wish it was softer
I love the look and fit but thought it would be softer and cozier. It softened up with first wash so I kept it hoping itll just get better and better because thats how all of my Patagonia fleece have been.
I answered this for the person I bought this for since it is a gift. If you made your clothing in petites you would certainly sell them to me, but I can't wear them as the sleeves particularly are too long. My adult daughter loves your products and this was on her Christmas wish list.
Loved this sweater when I got it - so cozy and cute. After a few months things started to go downhill though - pilling, the snowy cream colour kind of dulled to a beige (almost a yellowy beige, it's a completely different colour), and after 2 years of owning it (only gets wear in the winter months) it looks pretty sad.

Cozy, warm and stylish
Theres a lot to love about this cozy, warm, and attractive fleece. The large marsupial pocket has functional storage space and a warm place for your hands.

I bought this three days ago and have been wearing it since - thus far no issues with fabric shedding. It's a loose fit, but snug enough around the waist to keep the heat in, but relaxed throughout the body, very cozy and comfy fit. It's very warm. Highly recommend!!
Unlike my R1 Air Full Zip this fleece has not held up to wear at all. I’ve only had it 2 mo and the elastic hem is already falling apart, and it’s very pilly and sheds a lot.

Hi Erin, we're so sorry to hear about your experience with the Retro Pile Fleece Marsupial. Though pilling can be inevitable with knit garments as this is the nature of those fibers, this sounds like an extreme case and perhaps could be a quality control issue. We'd recommend [sending](https://www.patagonia.ca/canada-returns.html) this back to us under our warranty.

Cozy cold weather staple
Incredibly warm, soft and cozy! I l love the boxy and slightly oversized fit and the generously sized pockets. This is a great cold weather casual staple that looks great. Only downside is it pills and sheds easily, so Im constantly leaving a trail of fuzz behind me.
Hello Johanna! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We really appreciate the feedback and we're happy to hear for the most part you're happy with the pullover. Some shedding is expected with a newer fleece but after the first few washes that should stop. If it doesn't stop and becomes a larger issue you're always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) under warranty.

Too small overall
This garment was very disappointing in overall fit. It runs small across the shoulders and is rather tight fitting. It does not feel cozy, it feels small. The armpits on the sleeves were so low I had about 3 inches of fabric there and could barely raise my arms. I wear a medium in all of my tops and it fits perfectly. Patagonia seems to have straye... Read Mored from realistic design on this one. I am 5'3'' and around 125 pounds so a medium should have been just right. A larger size would not have helped the low armpits and overall fit would have been off.
The fabric is great and I loved the longer zipper opening. The previous model and a rather small neck opening which was weird. I hope you go back to the drawing board on this one. I did try a full zip one this summer and it fit the same way. I am sad this didn't work out.
Hi Molly! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the fit of the pullover. With that said, this feedback is much appreciated as it how we improve things for future seasons. We'll pass this along to our design crew!

Super comfy
I would say this fits true to size. I ordered a Medium for a more oversized fit. Love the color and the fit. I have been wearing this most days since Ive had it when its cold outside!
I really want to love this (its very cute) and would wear it a lot more if it didnt shed fuzz everywhere! Ive washed it several times and it still sheds Im afraid its gonna fall apart.
We're sorry to hear that the fleece fabric hasn't been durable for you. For [product care](https://www.patagonia.com/product-care.html), we recommend closing all zippers and snaps, machine wash on gentle cycle in cool water with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. You may hang to air dry or tumble dry on low heat, again with no fabric softener. If that doesn't help, you're welcome to return it under our Ironclad Guarantee!

Cozy and stylish
This was my first Patagonia purchase. Honestly, I I didnt need the Retro Pile Fleece Marsupial Pullover, I just wanted to support a company that gets under Tucker Carlsons skin.
The pullover really is comfortable and the fit is great. I plan on adding more pieces to my wardrobe. Thanks for being an upstanding company!
Runs large, size down one size, I kept my large but med would be a better fit. So far no pilling, washed once. Highly recommend if u are cold alot, it very toasty
I've had this fleece for just about a year now - the fit is great, color was just what I was looking for, but sadly - it has pilled all over to the point where it does not look good anymore.

Hi Lidia, we're sorry to hear about your experience with pilling. Pilling can be inevitable with knit garments as it is the nature of those fibers. With that being said, there are various products that can remove the pilling so your jacket can look good as new! We recommend using a Sweater Stone or fabric shaver to remove pilling.

Fits true to size
I always wear a size medium in Patagonia fleeces and was weary after I read the reviews but if you normally wear a medium, get a medium. Cozy, comfortable, will last forever. I got the blue color and I love it. Soft on inside and outside. Glad I made the purchase. Definitely keeps you warm
I purchased this marsupial and also the vest last season because of the simple one fabric almost one color design. It is nice and warm which is great, but I agree with other reviews on the fabric.

Super Soft
I LOVE this sweater! Its super soft and warm. For me, it does run a bit loose but I still wear it all the time!
This fleece is lovely. It runs slightly small in my opinion. I usually wear a small but sized up to a medium and it fits perfectly. The fabric is so soft and warm. Great for a cool summer night.
I sized up with this fleece because I wanted it to be a little bit oversized and layer underneath it, but I think a medium (my regular size) would have fitted very true to size. This pullover is very soft and warm without being heavy, and it also has ample pocket space.
Hi Emily, thank you for taking the time to write a review on this pullover. This fleece is double-sided and definitely meant to be thick and warm. We apologize for the stiffness and appreciate your comments on that. Please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this back to us.

Read More for and for the price, I wanted it to be exactly what I was looking for. I'm 5'5, 160lbs, althetic build.
My new favorite fleece! Medium to light weight fleece with a relaxed fit at the waist (ie not tight). I am 5'1" and 102 ish and the XS is a perfect fit for my frame. Meaning it sits at my hips and does not hang past. The 3/4 zip is nice and deep making it easy for pulling on and off. Chest zipper is well placed also! Love this piece!
Hi Kelly, thanks for the feedback on the material and we are sorry to hear about the pilling. Sadly, pilling can be common on fleece garments as it is the nature of nylon fibers. With that in mind though, we'd suggest using a tool like a sweater stone, to remove the pilling.

Great for Hugging People
This Fleece Pullover is great! It can be used if you need something while camping or are just out and about. It is soft and has multiple pockets! I like hugging people with it so I can spread softness.
I love my fleece! Im technically an XS but I got a small so it wouldnt be tight and it fits great. I accidentally shrank it in the dryer and it hardened all the soft parts and I was DEVASTATED but the store exchanged it for me which was awesome! Im now a loyal customer since their customer service is so great.
When I was gifted this beautiful sweater, I immediately loved it and lived in it for weeks. Ive had a handful of well loved Patagonia sweaters over the years and they have honestly looked almost new after almost a decade of use. Though the fabric on this started to pill almost immediately, I thought washing would help, but it sheds so much its alre... Read Moready showing signs of wearing through the arms... the amount of pilling and shedding it does leaves a lot to be desired, despite how great it seemed when I was gifted it. Mine looks so bad, Im sadly considering donating it. You might get a little wear out of this, but not the Patagonia quality youre accustomed to... I would steer clear on anything from this fabric line.
I am not crazy about it because in the color I purchased it on, it sheds and I haven't even washed it once. It sheds a lot on to other clothes. And it runs kinda big
This fleece is everything i have been wanting! I haven't taken it off for days.. I am 5'8" and 130 lbs so i typically wear a medium, but I sized up and im glad I did. Size up if you want an oversized look!
This a beautiful piece from Patagonia, but it runs big and the fabric is pilling. So disappoint because I love the Tan Beach colour and the design of it. If the fleece would have been offered in XXS, perhaps it would have fitted better.
I was hesitant to order this fleece but so glad I did!I live in older classic fleece marsupials that are wearing out. This is a new favorite and very warm. I was concerned it might shed but have had no issue.
I bought this for daily wear inside and out and it does the job. It fits loosely in spite of my DD bust and keeps me warm even below zero. It has a timeless Sherpa like look that goes with most things.
I really like this sweater. It is perfect for walking on chilly mornings and very cute (I got the ivory color). It's definitely the warmest sweater I own - but living in Southern California I don't need much :) I am 5'10" and ~130 - I am a solid Medium in the Better Sweaters but this fit me well in a Small. I could have gone to ... Read Morea Medium for a more relaxed fit, but I wanted something that hit higher on my hips to wear with high-waisted leggings/pants. I am a little worried about getting it dirty, mostly because I'm notoriously clumsy and likely to brusk against something or spill, but so far it's been ok!
Haven't bought a Patagonia fleece for years and this is my first since 2016, I noticed the sizing has changed a bit. I was a M but now I'm definitely a Small. I had the chance to try on in store and although the M fits, it is too long sleeve wise and too bulky in the shoulders. The small is just right, fits like the model, but if you want... Read Moreed to layer a big bulky sweater underneath I think it would be too tight. I'm 5'7" 145 lbs, athletic type build with some waist curves, 36B. I love this fleece since it's perfect for so many activities. I take it hiking in upcountry for 55-65 degree conditions it's perfect paired with baggies shorts, I wear it while sitting on the beach in the morning before or after surfing and also at home when it's a little chilly. I like the long front zipper, makes it easy to take on or off without catching in my hair and also allows for some air flow while hiking. I also like the pockets since they are linked, like a muff. I purchased Twig tan and I love the color. Overall a great soft and versatile fleece!
I ordered this through REI it took 2 weeks but it was worth the wait! I got an XS. I weigh around 110 and Im 52. The XS fits my petite body perfectly. I didnt know if it would be too small and debated sizing up to a Small however the XS is just roomy enough and not too fitting! It is super cozy and flattering as well. I enjoy the extra pocket space... Read More as well. I am very pleased!
I got this sweater for Christmas and I really like the way it fits on me. Its not too snug but keeps me very warm when only wearing a thin layer underneath. It is true to size (I wear a M) unlike some of Patagonias other sweater (e.g. Recycled material clothing) so I am happy with it overall. Ive already washed it once and I did not see damage or p... Read Moreilling to the material.
I received this & wore it on Christmas Day. It kept me warm & cozy on a very chilly day in Central ILLNESS. I would certainly make room for another in my wardrobe!!
The only thing missing is a chin guard from the zipper.
Some might want a pull at bottom to tighten it up a bit although I like that as is. I love marsupial pocket and an extra chest pocket. Its so cuddly!
I have 5 newer recycled fleece Patagonias. Its my kind of company.
I have a few other Patagonia fleeces and while the fit of this one is just as great, the quality is not. The fleece has clumped and pilled up after only a few wears. Would definitely recommend others over this.

Favorite Fleece Ever
This fleece fits perfectly and true to size. Not too snug, but not too loose or baggy. It's super soft, cozy, and very warm. The zipper works great. The sleeves just the right length. And I really love how it looks! It's my favorite fleece ever.
I bought one size up from what I normally buy from Patagonia as I prefer to wear this sherpa fleece slightly bigger. It is comfortable fleece and I have been wearing it almost every day since I received it.
I absolutely love this pullover. Do not hesitate- get it now! It is incredibly warm, stylish and my favorite go to! As noted in other reviews it has pilled under the arms somewhat but Im more of a function first kind of gal. This will be a longtime favorite and currently beats out my favorite hoody!
I wanted to love this pullover, however it sheds balls of puff everywhere! I've tried washing it a couple of times hoping that it would help, but unfortunately it didn't. I'm unable to wear anything dark colored with this as after a couple hours, as it looks like I've been cuddling up with a polar bear shedding its summer coat. ... Read MoreWish I could return!

Very warm
The fit is true to size and very comfortable. It keeps you warm.
I LOVE the looks of this pullover however Ive had mine for roughly a month and a bunch of the stitching is unraveling around the ends of the sleeve and its piling like crazy which is disappointing considering how much I paid for it! Ive only worn the pullover about 5 times and have followed the care instructions as well.

Seams / Pilling
I really wanted to love this jacket but about two weeks into my purchase and 2nd time wearing it, I realized that there was a seam that was loose right at the cuff of my right sleeve. Obviously this seam constantly gets snagged on things and now have gotten more unthreaded. It does pill easily as others have said and although it is annoying, I full... Read Morey expected it when I bought it. However, I am very disappointed in the loose seams especially since it was expensive and I'm a college student and now that I've worn it, I can't even get it exchanged. My first purchase from Patagonia and it was a bit disappointing.

Appreciate that a missing delivery was located and delivered within 6 hours.
Thank-you Emma. Gift for my daughter who is going skiing in the Alps. She loved it, loved the color and fit, just a tad loose in size small. do not know how it will wash as yet.
Wonderful flattering fit- keeps me warm with room for layering but it remains true to size. I have worn It for two weeks straight because it has become my go to conduit for keeping warm. My only issue is that it sheds like crazy and leaves fuzzies around everywhere but I can overlook it due to the fit and comfort.

Not quite the Patagonia standard expected
Not quite the quality I was expecting. Piling a bit on the arms within 2 times wear, the stitching is a bit off on the shoulders. It is very comfy and I like the look so I am keeping it regardless :) I got a size up and wear it over sweaters, looks great!
Hi Hannah, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're sorry to hear about the pilling you've experienced. A small amount of pilling is typical to experience with fleece but we don't expect it after only two wears. We'd suggest trying a sweater stone to remove the pills. However, if that doesn't help you're always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) under warranty.

Quality never disappoints! Just wish
Quality never disappoints! Just wish there were petite sizes available. I'm still a big fan of Patagonia!
Love the way that this looks and feels, but it pills and sheds like crazy! I did read this in the reviews, but I thought no way-its Patagonia. Sleeves are shorter for the size than other Patagonia coats I own.
Hi Nicole! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the pilling and shedding you've experienced with your fleece. To cut down on this, we recommend washing it either by hand in cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle with a powdered detergent. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer. Please also refrain from using fabric softener or bleach, as these can break down fibers of the fleece and cause it to pill or shed. To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again. Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your fleece, you are absolutely welcome to initiate a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).

Incredibly comfy
Loved it even more than expected. This style runs a little bulky so I sized down and it fits perfect.
I’m 5’8”, 165 lbs. Ordered size XL color molten lava. It’s gorgeous. Perfect fit. Then I had to have another one. So I went shopping and bought another one in the feather grey color. A perfect pair that will work with so many colors in my wardrobe.
I’ll definitely be a return customer soon.
So cute and warm! I love it.
I'm generally between an xs/s and went with the s for a bigger/cozy fit.
I only gave it 4 stars because it's starting to pill a bit on the arms after only a handful of wears/no washes, but it's not a big deal.
Still my new fav!
The pullover is very comfy and perfect for everyday wear around the house or to run to the store. It has the classic look and go with preppy or comfy styles. It does attract lint and pills rather easily, but that's to be expected with this type of material.
After wearing the fleece for less than a month (and not wearing it daily) The cuff on the right wrist already ripped! I am really upset, I have another fleece that I have had longer and this did not happen.
Hi Nicole, thanks for taking the time to write us a review. We're truly sorry to hear the the cuff ripped after under a month. We'll reach out to you directly with options for return!

Unbelievably comfortable
The coziest thing I own. My mom bought one and couldn't stop raving about how great it was, so I had to get them for myself and my sister.
Hi Zahara, fleeces do have a tendency to shed. You can slow this process down by washing with cold water and using a gentle powder detergent. Please do not use fabric softener and bleach, as this can break down fibers of the fleece and cause it to pill or shed. Air dry the jacket on a flat surface, as this allows the jacket to keep its original shape. Please note, your satisfaction is always guaranteed, so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) the item to us for a full refund if the problem persists.
