Voluntary Recall of Certain 50+ UPF StylesC$19 3-Day Shipping*
Voluntary Recall
We recently discovered that certain styles of the Capilene® Cool Daily and the Tropic Comfort product lines do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating we claimed for them. They still offer solid UV protection—it’s just not as much as advertised. If you own one of these shirts, click below for more information.
Nous avons récemment découvert que certains modèles des gammes de produits Capilene® Cool Daily et Tropic Comfort n'atteignent pas l'indice UPF (facteur de protection contre les ultraviolets) 50+ que nous revendiquions sur ces produits. Ils offrent toujours une solide protection contre les UV, mais pas autant que ce qui est annoncé. Si vous possédez l'une de ces produits, cliquez ci-dessous pour plus d'informations.
I already had this in the 1/4 zip and I needed a new vest (because my 10yr old EMS fleece vest finally bit the dust). It is great, cozy, comfy with a nice smooth lining that doesnt get static/caught up on whatever youre wearing under it. Pockets are great too. A zipper on one or an inner zip pocket could make this more versatile.
This vest is great. I live where it gets cold in the morning, so it's perfect year round for keeping warm. My only wish is that it came with some inner pockets inside the vest. When I go out hiking, I'll bring gloves - then get hot and want to chuck them in my vest. It's a minor complaint, but for the price, it could be cool if it ha... Read Mored these. Great otherwise.
I have this vest in shadow blue from fall 2018, and it fits really well. I purchased another in pigeon blue, to have an alternative, but it fits differently. It is extremely roomy through the chest, under the arms, and through the shoulders. I am small and narrow, and I've been having this problem with everything I've tried to buy from Pa...

It pains me to return, as I love this vest, but it fits so poorly. I'm grateful I at least have my one from fall 2018. If there were an XXS in this vest, maybe that would help.
The quality is great and the service of the company also. I did exchange it for a smaller size but that wasnt a problem at all even after a couple of weeks. I did wish they had made a different material under the arms because the fluffy material looks worn out only under the arms when you wearing it. But no one will see that only yourself so I am s... Read Moretill a happy customer! Thank you.
The size difference between the XS and S were more than one size. The XS was just a smidge too small. The S was huge. If you have an hour glass figure this might work better for you than an athletic build.
LOVE the color of this one. Better luck next time.
Super soft and warm. I love it. I usually wear Small Patagonia clothes and I kept the small one but Im between the Medium and Small size. The medium was too big.
Love the Los Gatos Vest. It's warm, comfortable, great side pockets, and I love the warm caramel "Nest Brown" color. Purchased a size Medium, and found it to be a nice skimming fit without being tight, allowing a light sweater to be worn underneath. I'm 5'5", 115 lbs, 36/29/36.
I usually have room to spare in ay M vest I've bought I the past; but this vest can only fit snugly over a t-shirt, nothing warmer. luckily its a great layer for 40'F or above if you run wam!
I have never washed this vest , I rarely wear it because it looks like a stuffy that when through thr dryer. it matted very easily with a little friction .
Hello there, we're truly sorry to hear your vest is matted. We'd recommend brushing the matted areas and letting it air dry. If this doesn't work and you are unsatisfied with its performance, you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.ca/returns.html) it under warranty.

Cozy and comfy.
It keeps me warm in our chilly home. As the weather starts to warm I am sure I will be wearing it for outdoors walks.
Purchased this vest in 3 colors. Have been wearing them all winter as an extra layer indoors & for extra warmth outside. It is a snug but not uncomfortable fit. Love the pockets. Hits at the hip so is not too long or too short. Highly recommended!!
Hi Emilia, we're so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the look of the Los Gatos Fleece Vest. We want you to be completely satisfied with your gear and since you're not, please feel free to begin a return or exchange here, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.

Cozy warm, dare I say luxurious.
Feels luxuriously warm and cozy, fitting close to body comfortably, made especially so by being lined.
Not our favorite. I bought this for my 13 year old daughter as a Valentines Day gift and we were disappointed in both size and strangeness trim- it isnt cute.
Hey there, we'd love to hear more from you! What was strange about the trim, and the sizing? The more details you provide, the more it helps our designers and other customers, so please feel free to submit another review letting us know what size you purchased, what wasn't fitting right, and how the trim was bothersome. Thank you! In the meantime, if you haven't already, feel free to get started on a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
It is so well made and I love the color but it runs large under my arms and the only thing I was sad off , was that the material under my arms showing already signs of wear. I only have it for a few weeks but under the arms it looks like I have it worn for years.
We're so sorry that your Los Gatos Fleece Vest is already showing signs of wear. We don't hold our clothing to this standard, so please feel free to [reach out to us](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) so we can look into getting you a replacement.

Be careful with sizing up - you might not need to.
Based on all the reviews urging others to size up, I did - I'm usually a size M in Patagonia tops/Jackets (and a small in many other brands), so I ordered the size Large. The vest that arrived was too big for me, but I can see why people size up: it depends on how you plan to wear/layer this vest. I don't usually wear my vests over thick ... Read Moresweaters etc. - more likely a long sleeved t-shirt or shirt. For that, the size Large was too generous, the arm holes to big etc. The Medium works fine, and when I zip it closed, it is snugger than my other two Patagonia vests (Retro X in Medium, plus the regular fleece one, also in M) - more fitted. Lastly, this to me is less of a functional hiking type vest and more of a fashion item. Century Pink is gorgeous. Now I just need more tops that go with it!
I wear this vest on chilly days indoors and out. It fit's really well, keeps me warm (but not too warm) and looks nice too. The rusty red color is a nice addition to the wardrobe.
Loving this vest to throw on for an extra layer. I got a small, which fits but runs a bit on the small size. If you're on the fence on size, I'd go up one.
The vest is good quality and well made,
but it doesn't fit. So, alas, I will be giving
it away to someone smaller. My size is
everything else I wear is Medium. So this was
an expensive disappointment
Oh no, Barbara! We are incredibly sorry this vest did not fit to your liking. Please know you are always welcome to [exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) your item for a different size that would better fit your needs. If you have any issues with making the exchange, please feel free to reach out to our [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) for help.

Amazing
I love this vest! Looks so cute in the winter with some boots!
The Los Gatos fleece vest is very soft, warm and cuddly. Perfect for Apres Ski or changing into after a hard workout in the backcountry. The only criticism is to make it about a 1/2" - 1" longer so to have overlap with the top of pants.
Wonderful Vest I love wearing it - Great Complements
Perfect: Fit, High Quality, Great Color. When ever I wear it I get complements & Patagonia gets highest ratings because you are such wonderful and responsible company.
I usually wear a size small but wanted a vest that could allow for layering thicker sweaters or fleece underneath and still have room to move. The fuzz is fun and luxurious!
I purchased this vest to wear under a Patagonia sweater jacket while playing Paddle and working outdoors. It is nicely made and not too long so easy to layer without coming down further than my jacket. I am a size 6 and chose a medium.
The finest and warmest vest that I have ever owned. Do not hesitate, this is a champion of vests.
Light weight, throw into the washing machine, hang out to dry and go.
This is a fabulous vest, lightweight and very warm.
I hope Patagonia has more next year. I have two and would like a third. My size is gone for now.
A great piece, but Patagonia is the best.
This vest ran quite small. I could hardly zip it though according to the measurements it should have fit. The color in person looked like a dirty beige. It went back. I wish there more size inclusivity.
Thanks for your feedback on fit. We're always happy to provide garment dimensions before purchase in the future.

Glad I have it but with reservations.
As I write I am wearing the vest . its super warm and cozy BUT I mind that there is no inner pocket for phone and no zips on outer pockets to keep contents safe. I almost didnt buy it for that reason.
Its a chilly winter and I wear warm vests inside our high-ceilinged, drafty house. I received the gray one as a gift and loved it so much that I bought the blue one too. I call it my cookie monster vest!
My original order was a Medium - and I exchanged it for a large. The Medium ran small. The large is just right. I like the lining, too, - it doesn't add weight.
I love my vest but would recommend going one size up. According to the chart I am an XL but when it arrived it was small. I returned for an XXL and it was perfect! Customs service was also amazing with my exchange!
I saw this vest at the Nordstrom and I liked it, only they did not have the color I was looking for . So I went checked out on the Patagonia.com. I find a vest with lovely color for casual outing.
I love it. It is very comfortable and a great fit.
I normally wear size S, but customer reviews said it runs a little small. So I got M. A perfect fit.
I never wore vests before but my son got me one for Christmas last year that I finally started wearing this year. It was soooo comfortable and cozy and attractive that I bought another one. Love them both and just switch off colors depending on what else Im wearing.
Im absolutely thrilled with this vest. It is beautifully made with quality in all the little details from the pockets to the zipper to the silky lining. I wear it around the house over a base layer or under a jacket for hiking. It is a slim fit that works best over a base layer but it still fits fine over a sweater.

I love my fleece vest.... I wear it probably 4x a week....to work and keeping me warm at home on cold nites. It keeps my core super warm.
I usually wear a small but it runs small, so isized up andvmedium is perfect.
Love this vest for dog walks and hikes when I just need a small thick layer, but not a puffer/poof vest. Love the material, super soft, I dont overheat. I do like things a bit loose so I would recommend a Medium if that is also your style. Will probably buy another color next Fall/Winter season :)

Bought this for my 88 year old mom. She absolutely loves it because she can wear it around the house without being bulky and still keep her warm. Definitely runs small because typically she is a medium and I had to exchange for a large.
This is a beautiful vest. Comfortable and stylish. Just wish Patagonia remembered that not all their shoppers are 20 years old. I could have used another inch in the hips. Bought size large to have room under. I wear a size 8 shirt.
Purchased Medium returned for Large because I wanted to layer underneath. So comfortable so warm! I love everything about this vest. Los Gatos is amazing!
Im 57, 155lbs. Medium fits nice and snug but too short for me, it sat right on top of my hip. Returned the medium and got the large and its perfect cause it leaves more room to layer.

Very functional and stylish. Looks and fits great. I love the color, but its a little more auburn than coral (so less pink than I assumed from the online pic). Still love it. Thanks
I received this vest as a gift and I do love it but will have to exchange it for a bigger size. I am normally an xl but this runs small. Will have to exchange for the xxl in order to wear it properly.
We had the best luck with the Love nickname Park store- they went the extra mile in a pandemic to help us get our gift on time! Our active niece loved it! Thank you!
It's SO SOFT and very warm. I have wide shoulders but am otherwise petite so I have always had a hard time finding long sleeved sweaters/jackets that fit. This vest is perfect!! I can wear just a tshirt underneath and it keeps me toasty warm but does not constrict my arm movements. Favorite winter clothing item to date!!
I love this vest but I will mostly be wearing it open. I bought a medium and its tight to zipper across the chest. Im usually a medium and sometimes a small top so I was surprised. I would order up especially if you want to zip or will be wearing over sweaters.
Product quality is good. Delivery quick. My beef is with returns. I mailed two items back and was given credit for 1. Upon my call to Patagonia I was told it may be after Christmas before I am credited with the return of item 2 as RETURNS has been shut down for two months due to COVID and returns then have backlogged.
I am 55 and weigh 125 and purchased size small for reference. I had tried on size medium and it had some gaps. I wear mine as an extra layer at work where the rooms are cooler. Its amazing that a vest can be so warm. I also wear it for walks. I purchased the light heather purple and it surprisingly matches a lot and I get several compliments. I am ... Read Moreextremely pleased with this purchase!
I live in New England and bought the orange for fall. It is very soft & super cozy---sort of like wearing a big hug all the time! It is a true fit; looks great over my long sleeved shirts.
I'm 5'2" and normally wear a size 6-8. I ordered this vest in Medium and it's more like an XS. It's beautiful and the quality is great - but I'll never be able to zip it closed!
I am so disappointed in the sizing. I am always a Medium in Patagonia but this lovely vest runs noticeably smaller than any of the other items I have from Patagonia. It is also a bit short but that's typical for me and my height. Bummer, but returning items.
I usually get a S size for Patagonia clothes but this one had kinda tight fit. The M is a touch larger than I would like it but certainly better than the S. The neck is very warm but it might be a plus once the winter hits, esp. for outdoor activities. Also I'd like zippers for the pockets
I bought the blush pink color. Awesome color, so soft and comfy I even slept in it
A couple times. I have many Patagonia vests what I miss on this vest is having an inside zipper pocket and outside zipper
Pockets like my nano vests and some
Of my other fleece vests.
The fabric and fit excellent. Love it
With the exception of the pockets.
Ive never worn a vest before, but this one is incredibly warm and very stylish. I wear it around the house or on walks outside and love how flattering it is while also keeping me really warm (surprisingly so)! Its so soft to the touch and seems to be very durable. Highly recommend!
Really cute, but it gets matted. Another thing is that the quality isnt there compared to any of my other Patagonia purchases. Seems a little tight around my arms too if worn with a sweatshirt.
I bought this for my granddaughter for school. It fits her perfect. She hasnt worn it much because the weather has been warm. I am very happy with the order. I received it in 3 days.
just a little something extra while i am on my walkabouts. I have the nano vest in black but wanted a white vest and this caught my eye. Yep i love it.
I have been a huge fan of Patagonia but did not like how this vest fit and not having zippered pockets. I ordered both a small and medium and neither looked good on me, so had to return.
We appreciate the comments and are sorry to hear the size didn't work out. This vest is definitely a slimmer fit and we'd be happy to help with an [exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) if you'd like.

Miss old fleece
I am not fond of the fleece. I wish it had zippered pockets. The color was what I expected - good for fall. I find that after some time it gets matted. I should have returned.
I'm a M in all of my Patagonia fleece vests/jackets. I was disappointed that this ran sort of small. The lining is very nice, but has no give. That caused it to be snug at the hips and cause it to bunch and rise. It's super cute - I heard that Patagonia may be updating the fit. I hope so and look forward to getting this in the future.
I have this vest and enjoy it so much that I bought another color for my friend who is the same size. It is super cozy with a well-tailored lining, which I think makes it fit a little more snug than the Better Sweater Vests, for example.

I like this vest a lot. It's quite fuzzy and thick as the images indicate. The one slight drawback to it is that it doesn't have any internal pockets and the external ones are barely deep enough for a phone. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase despite my husband saying I look like a Muppet :)
First I bought this vest in size medium, the length was perfect, but a little tight on the chest, I ended up getting a Large and it fits a little big, is definitely longer but it fits almost fine from the chest. It has a lining and I think thats why it makes it tight, I just couldnt resist the softness, better fit will be great I am 53 but a little... Read More bigger on the chest, medium would have been perfect it it had more room on the chest. I kept it anyways in a bigger size. Good quality, but better fit on their products will make this brand my favorite!
This was a gift for precious Sheri and she LOVES it!
She really likes the fit and how the pockets are positioned for nice hand entry.
Sheri is happy so I am happy too.
Big Thanks!
My wife loved her Los Gatos Vest. I purchased the vest along with the cable beanie. My only complaint is that the two whites are different with the beanie being a much warmer white.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the sizing runs small. All other vest that I own a XXL fits me perfect. This one is a little snug. You really need to have larger sizes. There's no doubt that you would sell a ton.
It is a great vest, BUT, an XL was the size of a Medium. All Patagonia products that I have the sizing is VERY small. I had to order another one because of the sizing.
This vest is very very tight in the hip area! So sad! Unwearable! I bought my usual medium. I’m 5’5” and 139 pounds. I really can’t fit it down on my hips so it rides up. I don’t have huge hips.

Great customer service! The vest
Great customer service! The vest ran small and I needed to exchange it. I received excellent customer service from Patagonia.
I love this vest, it’s so soft and cozy warm! I got the gray color in a small since the medium was alittle big under the arm pits and it stuck out when zipped. I’m 5’6”, 140 pounds, 34 C/D, 27/28 pant or a size 6.
While the items were delivered in a timely way and I appreciate that, the vest seems to have run a little small and the color was not quite as deep as I thought it would be.

This vest looks slightly different In person but overall okay. It is a lot smaller than it’s normal size. It fits every where but the bust area. I wish it allowed more flex for women with a larger bust

sizing runs similar to other patagonia products
Most of the Winter in the SouthEast is doable in a warm sweater and the Los Gatos Vest. The Los Gatos Vest is warm and I didn't size up for extra sweater room.
I love my new vest. I like a more relaxed fit so I ordered a large (I tried a small and medium first). The vest is a slim fit and the large isn't sloppy at all.
I found the vest (size M) a bit too snug around the hips which pushed it up to clump at my midriff. I am 5'4", 130 lbs., hour glass, 34 DD bra. I felt as if a Large would be too bulky above the waist for layering so I returned it. I am eyeing the less figure-clinging versions of a vest.
The vest is very cozy and comfortable with a great fit. Love the Century Pink color
(it’s an earthy Dark clayColor) which is unusual in an understated way.
This vest is awesome! I love my century pick color. It is soft and warm. I enjoy the ability of dressing it up for a day out or wearing it on a fall hike though the colorful forest!
This vest is even warmer and softer than I expected. Seriously so cozy!! It is cute for everyday wear but I also can style it for work. It also seems warm and comfortable enough for skiing and other cold physical activities. A must have for sure!
I'm very happy with my vest purchase. I bought this as I only had a down vest and wanted something I could wear comfortable indoors and outdoors as a layer. The gold color is really nice. It's fuzzy but not overly fuzzy, doesn't shed. Feels well made and has good sized pockets.
It’s a really beautiful vest! Well made and super cozy.
I should have listened to the other reviews though because this vest does run small.
I ordered a small as I am 5’3/115lbs but I think a medium would have been a been a bit more roomy.
It’s all on personal preference but it’s a really great vest and I don’t regret buying mine.
This vest looks as invitingly warm as it feels.
I especially like the smooth and friction free fabric on the inside which allows maximum freedom in movement.
I bought the wren gold which is a 1970’s classic dark yellow.
My only wish is for more fabric in the belly area.

( an interior pocket for phone or other stuff might
be nice, but not necessary)
I am a big fan of vests and this is very well made, great material, and will be a comfort in the coming cooler months. The only objection for me was the sizing—it runs a bit small. I was aware of that and ordered a medium, but returned it for a large, which fits well.
Like the color, and the feel of the outside of the vest. The inside tends to make my neck sweat due to the material, which can become uncomfortable depending on variations in heat.
Got some kids t-shirts on sale for back to school. My son is super happy with them. I got a fuzzy vest in a size Medium - i love it but realize now that Patagona runs a little on the small side. I am typically a small or medium, but the M was a little snug.
When I first saw it in a store it felt super soft! The store didn’t have my size so I ordered from the Patagonia website. What I receive didn’t feel as soft. Also after sitting in the car, the seatbelt leaves an indentation in the vest. I also wished the pockets had zippers.

Nice vest
Soft and comfortable, but it runs small so order a size up

Has a slimmer,more feminine fit than the re-tool. I usually wear a Small and the Small fits perfectly in this vest too.
It fits a little loose in the torso,but it's meant to be relaxed and not slim like the Better Sweater Vest. While I wish it had zippers for the pockets like the Better Sweater Vest,I chose this one over that for its warmth and texture. I am 5'1" 105 lbs and my usual size of XS fit me. I plan on wearing this on its own or layering it ... Read Moreunder windbreakers.
I bought this after seeing someone wearing it and thinking it was so cute. I'm so glad I did. This vest is super soft and cozy,plus it can be worn casually with leggings or with a button down for a put-together look. A lot of reviews said this runs small,but I found it to run true to size,granted that I wanted a more fitted look. I am 5'6...

Love this vest. Perfect warmth for using with a light long sleeve underneath without feeling bulky. I ordered a small so it would be a bit more fitted,and i love it.
My only critique is that I wish the pockets had a smooth lining. When my hand are dry and chapped from the winter,it has that gross feeling on my skin when I put my hands in the pocket... Read Mores. Otherwise I love.
Awesome vest. It is a little short so I'd recommend sizing up. It's lined and keeps you SO warm. My go-to for wearing an extra layer to work,class,or just inside the house. I'm 135 lbs,5'6 and returned a size small for a medium (because of the length). If I could justify owning more than one of the same style of vest I'd bu... Read Morey another!
I agree with others that this runs small. I'm typically an xs (5'3 and 103 lbs,A/b cup) but the small vest was much more comfortable when it was zipped. The xs pulled across the back in an unflattering way. Love love love the aqua blue color!
I have two of these vests. They are comfortable and warm without over heating you. I do wish that future versions of this vest would come with a two way zipper but I still love it as it is.
I have truly receive compliments every time wear this vest! So comfy and such a marvelous color. I love how functional and wearable it is - for ANY occasion!
This is a really nice looking vest,the only problem is sizing,the medium was too tight and the large is really too big. I kept the large because returning a second item would have cost me almost 1/3 of what I paid for the vest anyways. The quality is really good,just disappointed with the fit.
I don't think this runs small all over,only in the hip. Sizing up doesn't help because a bigger size is much longer which makes it still too tight,just lower on the hip. I am a 10/12 in most clothing and I guess L is about right,though it's big in the waist and rides up a bit in back,like in the picture of the model. I wish Pata woul... Read Mored put 2-way zippers on the vests,as all of them are really small across the bottom edge for anyone who isn't really tall. Or just make them more curvy,like most women.
Love this vest! Based on reviews I ordered up a size to a large and was sorry I did. I exchanged it for a M and it fits perfectly. I'm a size 6 and almost always a medium on top. 5 7" 140ish. Medium was the right size for me; it is fitted but not at all tight.
I have been wanting this vest for a very long time and finally bit the big one and ordered it. It is not only very stylish,but also very warm. I like that I can wear it everyday with yoga pants/leggings or to work with a flannel/a long sleeve shirt. You can make this vest work with any style for any day. Like all the other reviews,the vest does run... Read More SMALL. For reference,I am 5'4" tall,weigh 150 lbs,and wear a 34B (sometimes 34C) bra,so I went up to a large for this vest (I wear medium in all my other Patagonia fleeces/jackets). The vest fits perfectly and zips with a little extra room! I got the khaki colored vest as it goes with practically any color I have in my closet. I definitely recommend saving the money up to purchase this vest--you won't be disappointed. :)
I usually comfortably wear a small or medium in Patagonia so I ordered a M in this vest. It was incredibly small and I could not move my arms comfortably. My friend has the same vest in a L,which fits so nicely and feels so cozy. I would recommend going up a few sizes when buying this product.
Oh my gosh,I am in love with this vest! It not only runs true to size,but is soooo soft & the most comfortable vest I've ever owned. It looks great on! I want this in more colors!!
I have been eyeing this vest in the store for a while,and I finally caved in and bought it online. Unfortunately this runs VERY small. I am a true medium in 95% of the things I buy - t-shirts,dresses,jackets,other Patagonia items. But,this vest was too tight for comfort and looked too short in Medium (I am 5'4"). I exchanged the medium fo... Read Morer a large,and it fit perfectly.
My advice: If you are a true small,buy medium. If you are a true medium,buy the large. You can thank me later.
I bought this after looking at it for a month or two... and I am so glad I did! When I first got it,I wore it everyday. I even wore it to do lawn work in and it held up great! It's so warm and comtorable. I've had it for almost a month now and have had to wash it several times and it remains soft after each wash. I am 5'4,123lbs and ... Read Moregot a medium. Honestly,could have bought the small,but I like to have a little breathing room. Get it!
This vest makes you feel like you're wearing a blanket around your body and the collar part feels like a really soft and warm scarf. It's hard for me to find a vest that I like because I find most of them too boxy,but this one fits really well. I'm 5'7,160lbs,and wear size L.

I absolutely love this vest. I get complements almost every time I wear it. It's very comfortable and looks great. It is so incredibly soft too! It does however have a slim fit and run small.
