The Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Jacket is equally at home over a flannel on a weekend errand run as it is under a hardshell when the temperature drops on a hike. The raglan sleeves and flat-seam construction mean it moves with us rather than binding at the shoulders, so the jacket disappears into the layering system instead of fighting it. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for this one on cold mornings before I've decided what the day is. It works over a base layer on the trail and under a shell in the mountains without adding bulk."
