The Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket in Clement Blue provides a robust and windproof solution for those who require substantial warmth without sacrificing environmental responsibility. This iconic outerwear piece addresses the need for a protective thermal layer by utilising 100% REPREVE recycled polyester, which is certified by OceanCycle and sourced from coastal communities at risk of plastic pollution. Featuring a high-pile fleece exterior and a smooth, weather-resistant taffeta lining, it functions as a dependable shield against biting winds and cold temperatures, maintaining the heritage aesthetic that has defined outdoor gear for decades.

Key Features

• Constructed from 10.3-oz ¼-inch pile recycled polyester that traps heat while an internal windproof barrier stops chilly gusts
• Made with plastic sourced from coastal areas to prevent ocean pollution, supporting a circular and responsible supply chain
• The internal lining features a durable water repellent coating made without harmful chemicals, offering protection from light moisture
• Engineered for maximum mobility, allowing you to move your arms and shoulders freely without the jacket riding up
• The collar and chest pocket are reinforced with 100% postconsumer recycled nylon made from reclaimed fishing nets
• Equipped with a zippered vertical chest pocket and two brushed-tricot lined handwarmer pockets for secure storage and comfort

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This version of the Retro-X features a more spacious silhouette than previous iterations, allowing for comfortable layering
• Most users find this jacket fits perfectly in their usual size, providing enough room for a heavy sweatshirt or flannel underneath
• We recommend taking your standard size

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a standard warm cycle to keep the high-pile fleece clean and maintain its loft
• This jacket can be dried on a low heat setting, which helps to "fluff" the fleece and keep it soft
• High heat and harsh chemicals will damage the recycled polyester fibres and the internal windproof membrane
• To prevent the zipper teeth from snagging the fleece, ensure all pockets and the front fastening are closed before laundering

Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket - Our FAQs

1. Is this jacket waterproof?
   It is windproof and has a water-repellent finish on the lining to handle light mist, but it is not a waterproof raincoat. It is best used as a dry-cold outer layer or under a hardshell in heavy rain.

2. How does the windproof barrier work?
   There is a specialised membrane bonded between the outer fleece and the inner lining that physically blocks wind from passing through the fabric while still allowing moisture to escape.

3. Does the fleece shed over time?
   Like all high-pile fleeces, minor shedding may occur initially, but the REPREVE recycled yarns are highly durable and designed to minimise pilling and fibre loss.

4. Is the collar scratchy?
   Not at all. Patagonia has added extra fuzziness to the inside of the stand-up collar to ensure it feels soft and comfortable against your neck.
