Patagonia Women's Classic Retro-X Vest

Timeless windproof warmth, reinvented

Some layers earn “instant classic” status, and the Retro-X Vest is one of them. Patagonia built it from plush 100% polyester fleece (85% recycled) bonded to a windproof mesh backer, so it feels cozy yet shields against chill. It’s the vest you’ll throw on again and again—for hikes, travel, and daily wear—because it just works. The regular fit layers easily, and details like a full-zip with wind flap and zippered chest and hand pockets keep essentials secure without fuss. Contrast nylon trim gives it that heritage feel, while recycled materials, Fair Trade Certified™ sewing, and a PFC-free water repellent finish bring modern responsibility to the design.
