This is my fourth Icebreaker, and the love affair continues. This is a pretty sporty design with good ease of movement and great color combo (I got the black/smoke). Love the thumb loops. Slim, but not suck-in-your-belly tight, fit that is very flattering. Works for around town and when I run trails on cold days. Great product.

My closet is mostly Patagonia and Water Girl because I love the quality, eco-friendliness, and fit. The quality of this sweater is no exception--looks like it would have a long life. ALso, the mushroom color is sweet, cozy. However, the fit is odd: slim in arms and somewhat shapeless in the torso. I still would have kept it, though, if it weren't so itchy! This is the first Water Girl sweater I've returned.

Cute, funky, and cozy for sure. However, the jacket is much cuter on the rack than on me. It's a boxy fit that looked bunchy. I got an XS, and it still looked frumpy. I'd ordered the jacket as a splurge and realized that it would have been a waste to keep--too much money for the product--so, I returned it.

Warm to be sure, but seriously over puffy and over-priced (even on sale) for what this is. Nice brown color, though. I'll stick with my Patagonia down sweater vest that gives me the same warmth with less weight and bulk.

Like the graphics, like the trim fit, but the fabric is really thin.

Much uglier on than in the picture online.

Okay style but not the most flattering fit. Material was a little scratchy.

I was a skeptic, but ended up being quite impressed by the lightness of this fleece and its warmth. Still, I have a hard time giving full stars to expensive gear. Ask me in five years, and if the fleece is still in good shape, I'll up the stars.

Overly wide shoulders (and I ordered an XS) plus cut of the neckline and sleeves were unflattering.

These flips are fine, not nearly as comfortable as my other Chacos, but okay for beach use.

Typical comfy, warm, fitted, great quality Icebreaker!

This is my most worn vest since it keeps me toasty on chilly days and gives me an extra layer without much bulk on frigid ones. Fits to size. Not tight, just right. Pockets placed where I need them. What I like most is that, unlike my down vest, I can cool down in it, too. Love it, love it, love it.

Soft, cozy fleece for sure--typical great Patagonia quality. But I spent the first twenty minutes after I got it trying to zip it! This was my only experience with a flawed Patagonia design. It's an understatement to say that the zipper sticks. Too bad. I would've loved to have kept it otherwise.

Great colors and nice details (e.g., rolled sleeves), but I returned it: it was itchier than Icebreakers and feels flimsier. It didn't feel as though it would wear well.

Very soft, great slim fit, cool decorative stitching but the seams around the sleeves were already a little loose when I received it. I could've fixed that, but I returned this because it's got a fake, decorative hood attached to the back so it doesn't really reach all the way up without a weird stretch. The hood looks big, but since it needs to be pulled up from where it's sewn, it's a tiny fit.

These are fantastic shorts: super comfy and durable. Unlike the other reviewer, I think this runs true to size. I wear a 2 and ordered an XS, and it's a perfect fit. Unlike other longer length shorts, they're not baggy or frumpy. Nice cut.

I got this jacket at this amazing price for my teen daughter, and she loves it. She raves about how warm and super soft it is. She liked it so much that I got one for myself, but had to return it since my torso is much shorter than hers--this cute jacket is not so cute on short-waisted people.

My kids love these Patagonia tees. Funky, not cutesy, and very soft cotton. I love the quality and the environmentally friendly elements.

I have four Icebreakers and this is my favorite one: slim fitting and very flattering plus all the usual top-notch qualities. Gorgeous color (I got kelp).

Silky and great fitting, this t keeps me comfortable during long runs. Same great Patagonia quality and environmental consciousness. Love it.

Soft and warm for a baselayer, but extremely trim fitting. Too much so for me: I returned it.

I loved the look and feel of this jacket: warm and sporty, great color and the usual fantastic Patagonia craftsmanship. However, it felt longer in the torso than my other Patagonia jackets, so it didn't fit me well, and I returned it.

Typical icebreaker: sleek, warm, functional, and great craftsmanship. Great color combos! Just got it and already love it.

I agree with all the comments. It's a very warm jacket, but I'm returning it because the shoulders are huge: the typical Michelin Man look of down jackets. I was hoping for a better fit. Also, note that the Meadow color is darker and brighter than what it looks like online. It's nearly the shade of a green lifesaver. Not what I expected.

99% of the time, I'm disappointed by hype. Not this time. This Icebreaker rocks! I had on 4 synthetic layers, and I was shivering, so I decided to test my new Icebreaker Pinnacle over a cami. I am warm down to my fingertips! How can anything this lightweight be so cozy? Amazing. I just ordered two more Icebreakers. I'm a convert.

Cute on the hanger, but not on me. Boxy, bunchy fit for an XS (I'm a size 2). It's very comfortable and cozy, but not at all flattering.

Super comfy and a ridiculously low price. Water Girl makes environmentally conscious products that rock!

A typical Patagonia quality product. Very plush, soft fleece--so warm that I feel sorry for all the shivering people in bulky jackets. It feels like I'm still under my covers and that I'm sleepwalking. Another reviewer had commented about the big arms, but I think they are just big enough. I'm very slim, so the arms are roomy, but that allows me freedom of movement. If I were after fashion (though the style factor is definitely there), I'd cry but I want to get out and move in my fleece, so I am cheering. This one allows me to do so without constriction to my shoulders and arms. The torso is fitted enough to keep wind from creeping up on hikes. Feels like this baby will last longer than the Energizer Bunny. Love it.

Based on what other reviewers suggested, I (a marginal adult) tried the kids' size to save $$$, but the cut is different from the women's jacket. It's not as fitted, but rather much boxier. Too bad. Great price. Probably great for kids, though.

This is a very slim-fitting long vest: flattering. Nice stretch panels on side. However, I returned it because it was too lightweight to be of much use. It didn't provide much warmth when I needed it and wasn't needed when it was warmer out. It's more a style piece than anything else, so not particularly useful.
