What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“This vest is a go-to when you want warmth at your core but still need freedom through the arms. It layers cleanly over flannels and under shells, and it looks just as good indoors as it does outside. It’s one of those pieces people end up wearing far more than they expect.”Some layers earn their keep by fitting in everywhere. The Better Sweater Fleece Vest from Patagonia is one we reach for when mornings start cold, days stay active, and plans don’t always stick to the trail. It carries that familiar fleece comfort into a vest that works just as well over a button-down as it does over a base layer. Recycled polyester fleece delivers soft, midweight warmth where it matters most, while leaving arms free for movement and easy layering. A full-length zipper lets us regulate heat on the fly, and flat-seam construction keeps bulk and friction to a minimum. Offset shoulder seams sit comfortably under pack straps, and the shape-retaining hem and armholes help the vest hold its fit season after season. With zippered pockets to keep small essentials close, it’s a piece that transitions effortlessly between casual wear and light outdoor use.
