What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore this on a windy overlook hike where every other fleece I own would've let the chill straight through. The taffeta lining cut the wind while the pile fleece kept doing its job underneath, so I never felt that clammy, half-warm thing fleece alone gives you. It's the first pullover I've owned that actually earns the word windproof."The Patagonia Retro-X Pullover shows up on cold, windy mornings when a plain fleece would leave you shivering by the second gust. The 10. 3-oz Repreve recycled polyester pile fleece is OceanCycle certified, meaning the fabric started as plastic pulled from coastal communities at risk of ocean pollution before it ever became something warm enough to wear outside. A taffeta lining backs the fleece with wind resistance and a PFAS-free DWR finish, so rain beads off without relying on the forever chemicals most water repellent finishes still use. Two hand pockets round it out for the mornings that call for warm hands and nowhere in particular to be, and every piece of it carries bluesign approval for how it was made, not just what it's made from.
