I'm a big fan of this fleece. It's warm, stylish and fits great. I own the royal blue and a green version. I'm in Texas and it's the perfect level of warmth to throw in your car for the 4 months of the year where its in the 40s- 50's. I also took it over to London at the beginning of April and found that it was perfect... as long as it wasn't raining, but it is what it is. It's a little longer and loser than the same version by Arc'teryx, so it can go over more layers if needed. It's best for around town or by a campfire, it's not the most technical, but it's also not trying to be. I'm a muscular 5'8" and run 220- 225, I went with the large and it's perfect.

I have a Better Sweeter from 2019 that I love and I wanted to purchase more colors while they were on sale. This 2024 model is designed much differently where they are much baggier in the arms and overall body. Also, what bothered me those most was that the neck opening is incredibly large that it just looks funny for me to wear. The 2019 model, the collar would brush up against my neck,. This model has an inch to inch and a half gap all around. It's a shame because it is still a great sweater, but the sizing no longer works for me, so I had to return it.

This is my second better sweater. Last year I wore it from fall - spring and didn’t wanna take it off. In the first few months you will see some pilling, this is completely normal and I use a fabric shaver. Eventually this stops.
I will wear it for casual hikes but definitely nothing intense. Looks great over a dress shirt in the office. This sweater is the quintessential “family photo” garment. Amazing quality that lasts.

People at work say it must be the first day of fall when they see me start wearing this project site straight through spring. Working in the solar industry in the north east in all different conductions this items keeps me warm from office letter to blizzard like conditions. Great from office meetings, project sites, hikes, skiing and Apre Ski. This sweater is perfect for them all. This is favorite item to wear all fall, winter and I to the chilly spring like weather. This 1/4 zip sweater does it all with style and warm, and business casual.
