Patagonia Retro X Jacket - Women's Review

The Patagonia Retro X Jacket is all about style. It has a slim fit that is form-fitting. The material is nice combination of fuzzy and cozy but still durable. It is that classic pilled look you see on really really old Patogonia jackets (hence the retro name). This is the type of fleece that will last years. That said, the tight fit also makes it a little constricting. It rides up when you lift your arms and doesn't give the best range of movement. It is great for around town but not ideal for high heart rate activities. If you are looking for a fleece for active sports, go with the Patagonia R2 - Women's which is our Editor's Choice in our review of the best women's fleece jackets. But if you are looking for a stylish fleece with a tighter fit that will last forever, this is a good bet.
