Patagonia Men's Better Sweaterâ„¢ Fleece Jacket in Black
The Patagonia Men's Better Sweaterâ„¢ Fleece Jacket is a versatile and eco-friendly addition to your wardrobe, seamlessly blending style and functionality. Crafted from warm, soft, and durable 100% recycled polyester knit fleece, it offers the cozy feel of a sweater with the easy care of fleece.
Designed with a full-length zipper and a stand-up collar, this jacket provides adjustable warmth and protection against the elements. Raglan sleeves enhance mobility and comfort, especially when carrying a backpack. For secure storage, it features two zippered handwarmer pockets and a vertically zippered left-chest pocket, ideal for keeping essentials like your phone or keys within reach.
The jacket's flat-seam construction minimizes bulk and reduces chafing, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout the day. Additionally, the soft, shape-holding trim at the cuffs and hem resists abrasion, maintaining the jacket's form and durability over time.
Committed to sustainability, Patagonia dyes the fleece using a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of dyestuffs, energy, and water compared to conventional methods. Furthermore, this jacket is made in a Fair Trade Certifiedâ„¢ factory, ensuring that the people who crafted it earned a premium for their labor.
