Patagonia Mens Better Sweater Quarter Zip
The Better Sweater is a classic, one of the must-haves from Patagonia. It has a relaxed fit with a knitted outer (which looks great and resists pilling) and fleece inner, but its technical design means it performs equally well out in the hills as around the town
Our Review - Patagonia Men’s Better Sweater Quarter zip:
The appropriately named Better Sweater has been core to the Patagonia range for a number of years, with good reason. We had put this high on our wish-list when we first brought Patagonia in store. It provides a smart, hardwearing and flexible alternative to standard fleece midlayers, and can be worn either as part of a layering system under a shell, or as an outer layer in cool dry conditions.
The Better Sweater ¼ zip pullover looks really good, with an outer knitted face and a comfortable soft fleece inside, as well as a collar and cuffs trimmed with matched tone jersey.
The relaxed but smart appearance of the Better Sweater hides its well thought out technical details well- raglan sleeves to prevent seams rubbing under a pack, wicking fabrics, including around the hem and cuffs, and a hardwearing knit finish on the outside that resists pilling. It has a stand-up collar to resist wind chill, with a zip garage for extra comfort, and a useful zipped chest pocket.
All in all a fantastic, highly flexible and functional piece. You’ll wonder how you managed without it.
