I have the el capilene pullover, which is classified as a kayaking piece, but it's of the same fabric (and also the same as Patagonia's expedition weight underwear). Customer Service There's no one better. Similar Products Used: Most every fleece in every weight made since 1978. |

This is an excellent jacket. It is extremely light and thin, but it retains warmth and allows breathability better than most thicker fleece jackets. I wore this jacket over a sweater in freezing temperatures and never got cold. It's a little pricey, but well worth every penny. After a year and a half, it is starting to wear thin on the shoulders because of constantly wearing a backpack. If you are planning on wearing this jacket whenever you backpack, you should consider a North Face Denali or something with padded shoulders. Similar Products Used: Patagonia Synchilla Fleece |

I love Patagonia. In fact, this is probably the only of their garments that I have not been completely happy with. It is made well, holds up better than any other fleece piece I own (no pilling) and fits well. The problem really lies in my expectations for it. It is really not too warm. I keep thinking that, because it's so soft and comfortable when I put it on indoors, that it will keep me warm under my gore-tex shell outdoors. It doesn't. It is a moderate weather piece. Now if I could only remember that... Customer Service Patyagonia is flawless in the cust service dept. Similar Products Used: Columbia, Marmot. (patagonia is better) |
