Patagonia Women’s Better Sweater® Fleece 1/4 Zip

Elevate your outdoor wardrobe with the Patagonia Women’s Better Sweater® Fleece 1/4 Zip—a sustainable layering essential designed for comfort and versatility. Engineered with a sweater-knit exterior that glides seamlessly under shells or stands alone as a cozy mid-layer, this fleece delivers soft warmth against your skin while minimizing environmental impact. Made entirely from recycled polyester fabric, it’s dyed using a low-impact process that drastically cuts water consumption, energy use, and chemical waste compared to conventional methods. Bluesign®-approved materials ensure safety for both you and the planet, while Fair Trade Certified™ sewing practices highlight Patagonia’s commitment to ethical craftsmanship.

The sleek design prioritizes practicality and style: a stand-up collar teams up with a quarter-length front zipper featuring a garage to eliminate chin irritation. A discreet zippered sleeve pocket keeps small valuables secure during hikes or travel, while supple micropolyester jersey trims reinforce high-wear areas like cuffs, hem, and wind flap—ensuring durability without added bulk. Princess seams sculpt a tailored silhouette at the back for a flattering fit that moves effortlessly with you.

Crafted in a slim cut and hip length, this lightweight fleece (391g) balances warmth and mobility whether you’re layering under insulation on cold mornings or wearing it solo on milder days. Perfect for active lifestyles, it merges technical performance with eco-conscious innovation—proving sustainable gear doesn’t sacrifice style or functionality.
