Description of Patagonia Synchilla Snap-Zip Fleece Jacket - Men's:
After a long day on the slopes, zip into the Patagonia Men's Synchilla Snap-Zip Fleece Jacket and head downtown for a relaxing dinner. Angled seams on the sides of this Patagonia fleece create a slightly slim look, and articulated sleeves give you more flexibility when you wear the Synchilla on short hikes. The recycled fleece fabric feels soft and helps reduce impact on our environment.
Bottom Line: Wear the Patagonia Synchilla Snap-Zip Fleece Jacket out on the town or on short day hikes.
This is easily the best fleece I've ever owned, and I'm thinking this may in face be one of the best pieces of clothing I've ever owned, period. I can honestly find nothing wrong with it. If they could find a way to make cat hair not stick to it, it would be perfect (but I understand that's asking a lot). In my North Carolina weather, I can wear this with nothing under it but a t-shirt, and be comfortable down to around 40 degrees. Pack on another layer underneath, and it could easily take you below freezing temps. The zipper never snags, and the pockets are perfect. The little chest pocket is my favorite too, since I realized it's a perfect fit for my Apple iPhone!
My husband is 6'4" tall, about 200 pounds, muscular and trim. He loved Patagonia stuff, so I got him this for his birthday. Much as he liked it, we sent it back. It fit like a tent in the body but the arms were too short. If you're a taller, athletic build, I'd go with a brand like 66 North or another European cut fleece instead of this one.
