Expensive but good quality

Great weight top for layering in English winters. Smart too, so can be worn casually. Expensive but it seems to retain its shape, doesn't pile and large enough to fit over other clothes. Nothing negative to say as long as you're prepared for the high price.

Odd sizing

I bought this sweater in Small, which is my size. When it arrived it was absolutely huge, wiht none of its actual dimensions matching any of those in the size guide. It is also a very boxy cut, which may not suit everyone.

Disadvantages
Badly cut

Great quality and design jumper

Super happy with this purchase. Quality is solid, color better than expected and great design.

Sleeves are a longer than I'm used to and therefore needs some folding

Great item

I bought this item because I like its appearance and because it was at -50%. Personally, due to so many technical items being available, I don't see this item being worn on my hikes or mountaineering actions. It just doesn't feel right. For me, this is a streetwear item; it looks great, it's stylish, and it's warm. The durability side of this gear will have to wait to be seen. Strange cut (as with everything from Patagonia). Torso too wide and sleeves rather short.

Cozy and great look

This Patagonia sweater is everywhere. I saw it multiple times on TV, and my friend has three of them. Because it is that great! Only one downside: you will be one of many to have this, so it is not a very "unusual" look:)

Tough AF

not as warm as you'd expect, but super durable. I bring it rock climbing on colder days because its tough and cosy. The cut on the arms is a bit slim, but I kinda like that about it.
