Patagonia Better Sweater Vest - New Navy - M - Women

I tried this on along with five other vests while at REI. This is the only vest that was flattering and actually gave me a shape rather than looking square and boxy. I think it is because the fabric stretches to you. Because of this the underarm also fits perfectly. Most vests I try on are tight in the hip, big in the underarm, tight in the chest, and look square and ill fitting. This fits beautifully. I normally take a L and bought a L in this. I bought it as an extra layer indoors. The gray is lovely but would love to see it also in wine or burgundy! If you usually have difficulty finding a vest that is flattering and want real quality you will love this!

I had high expectations for this vest. Its my first purchase at Patagonia and Im dissappojnted at the quality. Date of purchase was 12/17/23, less than month, worn for layering, have not washed it yet. Though the color is beautiful, quality is lousy. The front of it is linty and fuzz balls all over. I expected better quality for the price and reputation of Patagonia

My husband has the Better Sweater hoodie by Patagonia and I really liked the material and quality, so ordered the equivalent vest for myself. It’s great for cold days under a jacket and around the house. It’s very warm and comfortable. It is a slim fit so I could have gone with small or medium as I normally wear a medium because I need it in the shoulders. I went with a small and it fits well. The arm holes are big enough. So many vests have arm holes that are too small. The fit is very flattering which you normally can’t say about a vest.
