Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece

Warm Better Sweater® fleece has all the virtues of wool but none of the liabilities. Its sweater-knit face is durable, machine washable and fast drying. Always striving to reduce our environmental footprint, the fabric is now dyed with a new process that uses less dyestuffs, energy and water compared to conventional dyeing methods. Raglan sleeves and princess seaming provide a feminine shape to the Full-Zip Hoody. Collar garage minimizes chafe and smooth polyester jersey trims the hood, wind flap, pocket openings, cuffs and hem. Zippered handwarmers and zippered pocket on the left sleeve keep essentials secure.

- bluesign® Approved Fabric:

Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers.

In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.

Any fabric you see that’s bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.

- Fair Trade Certified™:

We pay a premium for every Fair Trade Certified item that carries our label. That extra money goes directly to the workers at the factory, and they decide how to spend it. The program also promotes worker health and safety and social and environmental compliance, and encourages dialog between workers and management. Fair Trade is one of the first tools we’re using at Patagonia to raise workers’ wages, improve their standard of living and move them closer to earning a living wage.
