The Patagonia brand is practically synonymous with fleece, and the association is well-earned: It invented the first fleece sweater, igniting the craze among outdoor enthusiasts, soccer moms, baseball dads, and everybody in between. One of the most iconic styles is the Synchilla Pullover, which dates back to 1985. This retro mountaineering layer is an enduringly stylish option for staying warm at the beach, brewery, or après-ski, and is now more than half off.
The Patagonia Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover is on sale for just $69—a 51% discount on the typical $139 price. A brand classic, it’s currently marked down in seven fun colors and comes in sizes 2XS through 3XL. These popular pullovers are selling out fast, so make sure to get your favorite one soon.

As the lightweight version of Patagonia’s Synchilla, this fleece layer is a better multi-season option. It was designed to be versatile and comfortable, thanks to the button-front quarter placket that adds breathability. It features a snap pocket that provides a secure place for storing sunglasses as well as an elasticized hemline and cuffs to lock in warmth. True to Patagonia’s eco-friendly bona fides, at least 95% of the polyester used was recycled and comes from a Fair Trade-certified factory.
Shoppers were impressed with the quality and construction of the fleece, with one calling it a “timeless classic,” adding, “This is something that can go from work to the trail and out for some drinks afterward.” Another wrote that it “lasts forever,” adding, “I have one that I have owned for more than 10 years and it is still in pristine condition. My wife has one that’s more than 20 years old and likewise is in perfect condition.”

Comfort was also a key selling point for shoppers, with one writing that the fleece was “like a warm hug,” adding, “It is so comfy and I get compliments on the color scheme every [time] I wear it.” Another shopper wrote, “The fleece is super soft and great in mild temperatures.”
Patagonia is known for its stylish, durable gear, impressive repair-and-replace program, and eco-friendly initiatives, but the brand’s clothes can be pricey. That’s why when timeless pieces like the Lightweight Synchilla Pullover go on sale, sizes tend to sell out quickly. If you’re looking for a fantastic shoulder-season layer that’ll keep you at a Goldilocks temperature this spring, move quickly while sizes are still around.
