Product Description
Whether you are venturing to the top of a breezy hill, or working a day in the office, this classic Patagonia Men's Better Sweater ¼ Zip Fleece is perfect for any occasion. Made from bluesign® approved recycled polyester fleece and dyed with a low-impact process that significantly reduces dyestuffs, energy and water consumption than typical dyeing methods, this sweater-knit fleece is sustainably produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory with both the people and the planet in mind.
Raglan sleeves reduce chafing from pack straps and a flat-seam construction reduces bulk so you can pack it down in your rucksack or work bag, just in case it’s needed. A vertical, zippered pocket situated on the left-chest provides space for small essentials that you want to keep secure, whether it’s a bank card, work fob or some emergency change.

Recycled Fabrics
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.

Chest: measure around your chest, just under the armpit.
Arm Length: with the elbow bent, measure from the centre (back) of the neck to the elbow and down to the wrist.
Waist: measure around the waist at the smallest circumference.
Hips: stand, feet together, and measure around the largest circumference at hips.
