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 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.
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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
