Great sweater. Very comfortable and warm. Runs a little small so if between sizes go up a size.

Overrated and runs small

I've been pining for a better sweater fleece from Patagonia for some time. Finally received one but honestly I'm really underwhelmed by it. It is made well and the quality is good. However, it runs small and is very form fitting. Normally I don't mind a form fitting piece but with this one I barely have room to wear anything but a tank top underneath. I am 5'7" 140lbs with an athletic type build and wear a medium in most things. The medium fits more like a small or even an XS. I'm also really underwhelmed with the color...I got the birch white and it is so drab. There is truly nothing special about this piece beside the Patagonia label. I will be returning it.

Unusual sizing for me

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I really wanted to like this sweater but it didn't work for me sizing wise. I'm a fairly straightforward medium in most Patagonia and other top active brands except for very slim cuts. I ordered this in a large based on other reviews and it was huge with really long sleeves — looked like a men's large or women's extra large. Returned that one and ordered a medium which was tight and difficult to get on over a t-shirt. The torso cut on that one was too straight for my somewhat curvy figure. There was a big difference between the medium and the large, they fit more like a small and x-large. Also the knit is kind of stiff and scratchy on the outside (maybe it softens up with a few washings?). The inside is a softer fleecy layer. I am 5'3.5" and 122 lbs, moderate curves.

As far as the item goes, it was exactly what I expected and I like it. But be aware that the Backcountry price was $119, and it arrived with a price tag listing a MSRP of $99.

I would absolutely not say that it runs small. I bought this item in my normal size L and XL. For a more fitted but not small fit buy your true to size. For an oversized look go one size up. I’m busty, have a large rib cage, and have had children and still fully believe this does not run small.

Warm heavy sweater

Size Bought:
11
Height:

I really like this sweater, it's a nice warm heavy sweater. There are so many mixed reviews on sizing. I normally wear a medium but I ordered a large. There is a lot of extra room all around. I would say go with your normal size if you want more of a form fit like the model pics show. If you like it baggy, get a size up. I will prob order another better sweater in another color but in a medium.
