| My visits to most of the local stores found several coats; they just weren't the right one! Then I did my research online to replace my previous winter coat that I wore for 10+ years. Somehow finding your website I saw this Retro jacket. Your site indicated three local stores (we don't have a Patagonia store here) that carry this design. The FIRST store I visited had the jacket in all sizes and colors. The salesperson and I determined the best color for me: the store did NOT have it in stock and were unable to locate it at any of their other stores. Instead of searching other local stores I went home and checked online. Online said they would try other stores and they found it in CA. I had my coat delivered to my home within the week. Because I receive your catalog I was able to save 15% on my purchase. I love my coat: the insulation is on the inside, the fuzzy fabric is on the outside. I've never overheated wearing it. The berry color is so becoming people stop me and comment. I love the zipper pockets: I can store my keys, etc. there and go right to them saving all the time of looking for them. The weight of the coat surprised me. It is so lightweight that I can remove it and carry it with me without the bulk and still carry packages without much effort. Finally there's the collar. It measures 1"-2" and is fuzzy inside. That area MUST be warm for me to be warm! This coat fits ALL my needs--I'm delighted with this purchase. Thank you again for your outstanding customer service...Survivor | |

The Svelt Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| I love this Jacket! I'd been looking for a fleece jacket for some time and I'm happy I choose this one. Mine is the creamy white which I thought might get dirty too quickly but it has held up well. The fit is beautiful. I'm a curvy, athletic woman with a 38C chest and the size large fits me perfectly. The panels running down the sides adds a slimming shape. The length of the sleeves is perfect, reaching down to just over my wrist overlapping where my gloves meet my wrist. It is a nice jacket to layer for outdoor activities or to keep me warm in a cold New England farmhouse. It just plain looks nice on me! I bought it at the store and originally bought the green, but upon getting it outside in the parking lot, the green looked too minty and I returned it for the cream. I'm very happy with the color as it is soft and matches everything I wear. I do need to make sure the zipper is threaded all the way through the bottom pull-up or else the zipper will separate from the bottom and it's difficult to fix it. You will be very happy with this purchase! | |

Really wind proof | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a really good jacket. It blocks the wind way better than I thought it would for it's thickness. I've taken it out in 20 degree weather (with wind chill) and been fine with just a long sleeve underneath. I'm sure it could go lower than 20 degrees with layers. That being said, it isn't too hot when the weather is warmer. I would recommend trying one on at a store before you buy it however, because the fit is a bit weird. I'm slender and usually go with mediums but because of the other reviews went to try it on before I ordered one and was glad I did. I got the large, which is a bit too big around the middle for me, but if I had gotten the medium, the arms would have been too short and it would have been too tight on the shoulders. Also, it isn't a 'fleece'. The outside is still snuggly, but it is a bit rough on the inside (not bad, just don't think it will be like a fleece). That being said, it is an excellent jacket, relatively thin for how well it protects, and I am very happy with it. | |

the ultimate in fleece jackets! | |
| Rating: | |
| If you are looking for a windproof fleece jacket that is not only lightweight but nice enough to wear out, look no further! It has been below 0 degrees here and this completely protected me from the cold winds. Its also thin enough that I dont overheat if I wear it inside. What I like most about this jacket is that it is completely lined with mesh which also makes it not staticy unlike their other fleece jackets. It does feel a little stiff but not uncomfortably so. I also agree with others that you might want to size up (especially if you will be wearing thicker layers under it). I like mine snug so I bought it in large (I wear a 12 in tops). I had intended on buying the olallaberry color but when I got to the store, it looked more like a dull brownish berry color rather than the rich wine color I expected it to be. I bought it in black instead. | |

| I was looking for a nice, warm, comfy fleece for a new job as a guide at a great camp in the Adirondacks. Just got this jacket today and it is amazingly comfortable (I was expecting the side panels to be really stiff...they give the fleece a little structure, but are not uncomfortable by any means)! Weighing in on the sizing debate--I am 5'4" and 135 lbs/C cup...I was worried that the medium I ordered (the size I usually wear) would be too snug, gauging by the other reviews, but it fit absolutely perfectly! If I'd gone a size larger, the arms would have been waaay too long! No excess bagginess in the waist like other people commented on at all. There was just enough room for a long-sleeved shirt/fleece vest underneath, and it would probably be okay to layer with a light sweater, too. All in all, I'm super-excited to see how it performs on some chilly mountain nights! | |

great casual jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great jacket for general cool weather wear. Its windproof and very, very durable due to its laminated backing. Sometimes fleece is flimsy and this is definitely not one of them. That being said, the laminate makes it a pretty heavy jacket. Although it is based on a style designed for technical alpine wear (hence RETRO x), this is not a technical product--there are much lighter and more compressible windproof fleeces out there. When you first get this jacket it is pretty stiff, however, after wear and washing it really does soften up. Fit is supposed to be slim according to patagonia's sizing, however, I find it to be closer to the regular fit. Although its not boxy or masculine, I wouldnt highlight its "feminine cut" cause it is cut pretty straight! | |

Nice! | |
| Rating: | |
| I have this piece as both a jacket and a vest. I love the look and the feel of both (I also get compliments on the purple-blue color of mine). This is a very warm jacket! I much prefer it over my North Face Denali as this jacket is far more windproof. I agree with some others that the jacket can have a stiff feeling. This gets better the more you wear it though (read-soon). My only other complaint is that I wish it were a couple inches longer on the torso and arms. I am 5'9", slim, and wear this jacket in a medium. I find the length a bit short. It would be even a little warmer if no drafts got in the bottom! | |

Solid Quality of course ! | |
| Rating: | |
| I have to agree with the previous posts that the fleeces I have ordered run TRUE to size with no " wiggle room ". Therefore, since I am a size med. I ordered a large. I am glad I did because I have room to wear a light sweater underneath. The medium I already have fits exactly as I medium and I can not fit a light sweater under it. The Large gives me some room, but it's not too big, by any stretch. Also the chocolate is not as dark as the picture, it does have a " hint of gray ", which is a bit disappointing. | |

Great Jacket! | |
| Rating: | |
This jacket really works! It was 7 degrees the other morning, with an additional windchill, and I decided to put it to the test. I took my dogs for their morning walk, and was not a bit cold in my upper body, and I was only wearing a light fleece shirt underneath the jacket. My legs, on the other hand, were completely numb. Facing north I didn't feel the wind at all through the jacket. Make sure to keep the pockets zipped, otherwise you will feel the wind seeping in. I think it runs small, I ordered a large instead of a medium, and it fits perfectly. | |

My first string fleece | |
| Rating: | |
This is a great fleece: it's genuinely warm, it's fitted (due to the stretchy panels on the sides) yet night too tight, and it's durable. As soon as I tried this one I knew my other fleeces would be relegated to the second string. | |

Stiff, too-slim fitting. | |
| Rating: |  |
| I have the plush synchilla hoody and the retro-x fleece jacket. Any day of the week, I would rather wear the plush synchilla hoody. While the panels are supposed to keep out the wind, I find it makes the jacket excessively stiff w/o helping too much will the wind. The collar is quite stiff and can irritate my chin. I am 5'1'' and 110lbs - I usually wear an xsmall and this jacket in an xs fits comfortably everywhere but the bust (32c). I get the "smashed" in feeling in this jacket. I also can't fit anything thicker than a tee underneath. The jacket is too thick to wear under another jacket. Perhaps a bigger size would have been better (I'm lazy about exchanging). This jacket has stayed in very good shape (because I rarely reach for it). | |

Not as flexible as a fleece | |
| Rating: | |
| I liked the look this jacket but was disappointed at how stiff it was when I received it. (The oatmeal color is a little darker beige than how it looks on the website but is still attractive). It's probably great if you are looking for a wind breaker or layering piece, but I was looking for a fleece with the wind protection for better warmth and this jacket isn't as comfortabe as I expected. It would be perfect with a minimal fleece lining. I also agree with the other comments on sizing. I seem to be a medium on most everythng, except for Patagonia's jackets where I always need a large. | |

| I loved the look of this jacket, and I swear by patagonia jackets, but I found that the comfort of this jacket was a problem. Standing still, the jacket fits fine, but if I move at all it doesn't give much; not enough flexibility in movement. I wear a medium and with this the sleeves seemed to be too short. | |

Sorry - don't like at all | |
| Rating: |  |
| I just popped this jacket in the mail to return and would not recommend it. I'm a bit surprised by the reviews I read, which implied that it was cozy and comfortable. I thought it was quite stiff and uncomfortable. Frankly, it also looks a bit too much like a cookie monster costume - rather corny looking. | |

Not the Best Jacket | |
| Rating: |  |
| Great Jacket, warm, light weight. Only complaint is that there is a lot of room/bagginess in the waist. The jacket takes time to break in, at first the jacket feels and looks very stiff. Not the best jacket from patagonia, but worth your time and money. | |
