Enhanced by barn red accents, this Classic Retro-X Vest from Patagonia has a plush, natural coloured bonded sherpa fleece outer which is made from partly recycled textiles and a smooth warp-knit mesh lining with a windproof barrier and HeiQ® Fresh durable odor control which is also partly recycled. The body has been cut to a regular fit whilst the sleeves have Y-Joint construction to allow for greater mobility in the shoulders and arms and the raised collar neckline provides additional protection from the elements. A coloured nylon plain weave panel wraps around the outside of the collar and matches the fabric used for the shaped chest pocket which has a vertical zip closure and a woven Patagonia label to one side. Two more compartments are available on either side of the waist and are lined with brushed-polyester mesh. The hem of the body sits at hip length and narrow elasticated trims wrap around its edge to help keep the fit retained, matching the finish of the sleeves.

Pulled straight from the Patagonia archive with modern updates and tweaks, the Classic Retro-X Vest is an essential cold weather style thanks to its plush, insulating outer and considered detailing which ensures suitability for a variety of activities. Whether you’re hiking, heading to the beach or exploring the city, the practical design can be layered over t-shirts and sweaters during spring or below a waterproof shell when faced with heavy downpours. Based in California and known for their focus on sustainability, Patagonia have been creating long-lasting purposeful outdoor gear since 1973.
