Patagonia Women's Classic Retro-X Jacket

Patagonia Women's Classic Retro-X Jacket

Whether you are old enough to remember the early fleece or not, the Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket for women is the modern equivalent. Its fuzzy exterior plush may be reminiscent of Patagonia's first fleece products, but inside, this fleece jacket is fully up to date. The windproof lining makes the Classic Retro-X worthy of bitter cold and windy days on the mountain and in town. Quilted Supplex nylon panels run down the sides and sleeves help to reduce bulk and add durability. It's a favorite for the daily commute and, talk about warm, the Retro-X really delivers when worn under your favorite shell for a day of skiing or riding. To top it all off, the Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket for women is made using Synchilla fleece derived from recycled soda bottles, unusable fabric seconds and worn out polyester garments.

Great Windproof Jacket
I bought this jacket after losing my basic black North Face jacket that I wore everywhere. Unfortunately, everyone and their brother is wearing North Face gear now and I was looking for a versatile jacket to replace it that would be worth the money. I was so pleased when this arrived. It is fitted, which is what I was looking for so I don't feel so bulked out. I also like that the sleeves are a little longer. I have pets and it doesn't seem to trap the hair and fuzz quite as much as other black fleeces I've owned. Still need to keep up with the lint roller, though, but I expected that. Seems really warm, even on a bluster winter day in Colorado. I love Patagonia products, and I feel like this will last forever. The price isn't great, but not too bad for the quality of this jacket.

Patagonia Rocks-Great Fleece
Best Fleece ever...why buy ANY other brand- we only wear Patagonia and this jacket delivered. Great for layering or alone. VERY warm and Windproof. Only complaint is that sleeves run short, but like the slim fit therwise

Best fleece ever!
I was looking to replace my North Face fleece, mainly because it was getting a little worn out but also because I wanted something a little different (I got my North Face years ago before the whole craze and would rather not wear something that everyone else wears!). So glad I found this jacket! Super comfortable and warm and looks great, too! Fits me perfectly, although like a lot of Patagonia's apparel, it does run on the small side. Buy it, you won't regret it!
