Though lightweight and a bit thinner than other types of fabric, this Columbia still brings moderate warmth and closure thanks to its ribbed cuffs and stand collar design.
But what I like the most is its hem with an adjustable drawcord that you can adjust it to fit your waist the most, unlike the ribbed hem like you usually see in other sweaters. Some of them might be too tight or too loose sometimes.

One thing that I love the most about Patagonia is their elegant and not too heavy in logo. You can see that this sweater is quite simple and plain with small brand logo on the left chest area.
Moreover, compared to other straight fleece, this sweater is better wind resistant due to its neck and wrist collar to keep wind from sipping inside. Particularly, it will not shrink even you dry it from low to medium setting.

However, it doesn’t lose its versatility. You can style it with many pieces like jeans, trousers, pants, plaid pants, t-shirt and more, from Hip Hop, party to casual. It’s up to you and what kind of fashion type you are in. But, believe me, it will draw the surrounding eyes and maybe, somebody will ask you where to buy it.
It’s highly recommended to hand washed, but if you are a busy guy, washing this garment by machine is okay, just remember to choose the gentle cycle and air dry only to maintain its shape.
As it’s Asia-made, you should keep in mind the size chart which might be a little bit smaller than the US’s. Mine is going true size because I like to get slim fit shape and after several washes and laid flat to air dry, it doesn’t shrink or discolor at all.
However, if you are still afraid of shrinkage, go for one size up for safety.
