Product Information
Full details
The Patagonia Retro Pile Jacket is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile, mid-layer warmth solution that combines heritage aesthetic with modern eco-conscious manufacturing. Constructed from 100% recycled double-sided polyester fleece, it offers significant thermal insulation for daily commuting or light outdoor activities. While it provides excellent comfort and durability, the thick, high-loft fleece material may feel bulky under slim-fitting hard-shell rain jackets.

FAQs
Is the Retro Pile Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from polyester fleece, which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It will soak through in heavy rain.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket?
No, it features three external zippered pockets: one on the chest and two at the waist.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it is machine washable and can be tumble dried on low heat, though hang drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's loft.
What is the fit of the XS size?
The XS is cut for a standard adult fit, tailored to be slightly form-fitting to retain heat close to the body.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the jacket uses 100% recycled polyester and all materials are Bluesign approved, ensuring high environmental and chemical safety standards.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears matted after heavy use
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the fibers back into their original loft after washing.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the teeth and clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no specialized setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the recycled fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking and thermal efficiency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent the fleece from matting or shrinking.
- Compatibility: The XS size is designed for a trim adult fit. When layering, pair it with a light base layer underneath; it works best under loose-fitting jackets due to the volume of the material.
