PATAGONIA MEN'S BETTER SWEATER™ FLEECE JACKET | RECYCLED KNIT FLEECE JACKET

Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Jacket: Recycled Warmth for Everyday Wear

Some garments never leave the closet throughout autumn and winter, and the Patagonia Better Sweater is one of them. With the look of a knit sweater and the technical performance of a true fleece, it has become a timeless staple for the mountains, the city, or as that extra layer after surfing.

WHY THIS FLEECE JACKET MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The Better Sweater combines a sweater-knit exterior with a soft, warm fleece interior, without the bulk or technical look of a conventional fleece. It is made from 100% recycled polyester and dyed using a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of dyes, water, and energy compared to traditional heather dyeing methods. The result is a comfortable, durable garment that reduces its environmental footprint without compromising on warmth or style.

EXPERT ADVICE

The Better Sweater is the perfect mid-layer for after a cold surf session: change out of your wetsuit, put on a dry t-shirt underneath, and this jacket on top. Its raglan cut and stand-up collar make it just as comfortable for driving to the next break as it is for walking along the boardwalk.

PATAGONIA GUARANTEE — "WE ARE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"

Patagonia was born in 1973 from Yvon Chouinard, a climber who started making his own gear and ended up building one of the benchmark brands in technical outdoor apparel. Since then, the company has made environmental responsibility its hallmark: it is a founding member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of its sales to environmental conservation, and in 2022, it transferred ownership of the company to a trust and a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting climate change. Its Worn Wear program encourages the repair and reuse of garments to extend their lifespan, and all its production is backed by the Ironclad Guarantee: if a Patagonia product does not meet your expectations, they will repair it, replace it, or refund your money.

USE AND CARE

Machine wash warm. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Do not iron. By nature, knit garments tend to pill with use, and this jacket is no exception: removing them periodically with a sweater stone helps maintain its appearance and extends its useful life.
