Patagonia Men's Better Sweater 1/4-Zip Fleece
Details
Elevate Your Everyday — With Substance
This quarter-zip mid-layer blends timeless style with sustainable performance. Crafted in a sweater-knit look with plush fleece inside, the Better Sweater walks that line between workday polish and outdoor ruggedness. Whether you’re headed to the office, out for a brisk fall walk, or rounded up as a go-to layer for layering under a shell, it delivers comfort, versatility and conscience.
Key Features
- 100 % recycled polyester fleece: A full fleece body made of recycled fibers keeps you warm while minimizing environmental impact.
- Sweater-knit face with fleece interior: Textured outward appearance gives it the look of a knit sweater, while the interior ensures insulation and comfort.
- Quarter-zip with stand-up collar and zipper garage: Offers easy on/off, venting when things heat up, and clean lines when zipped-up.
- Zip chest pocket: A subtle left-chest zip pocket keeps your small essentials secure without disrupting the streamlined style.
- Raglan sleeves & shape-holding trim: The raglan sleeve design boosts mobility — ideal whether you’re carrying a backpack or reaching across a desk. The micro-polyester-jersey trim at cuffs and hem resists abrasion and helps maintain shape season after season.
- Sustainable dyeing & Fair Trade Certified™ sewing: The fleece is dyed with a low-impact process, reducing water, energy and chemical use. And the manufacturing respects workers and local communities — a meaningful choice for the conscientious buyer.
Why It Works for Coontail Customers
- Look good, do good: Your customers get a refined style suitable for everyday wear, while feeling good about the planet-friendly materials and manufacturing.
- One piece, many uses: Office-ready, layered for travel or weekend trail walks — it’s a versatile staple rather than a single-purpose item.
- Durability meets comfort: With the built-in abrasion resistance and shape-holding finishes, this isn’t a fling — it’s a repeat favorite.
- Premium feel, lifetime value: While the price may reflect premium positioning, the quality, fit and longevity mean real value over time.
Fit & Care Notes
Regular fit — true to size for most, though users note the fit allows room for layering.
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low. Avoid bleach. Flat-seam construction reduces bulk and helps prevent chafe.
