Classic full-zip fleece in recycled polyester
There's a reason Patagonia's been making tops in Synchilla fleece since the 1980s – it just works. The 90s-style Snap-T pullover is a van-lifer staple, and this full-zip version gives you that same warmth and softness of their classic double-sided fleece in a proper jacket format. Made from 100% recycled polyester with an anti-pilling finish (so it won't go bobbly after a few washes), it's got a full-length zip and stand-up collar for when the wind picks up. The collar and pocket trim is made from recycled nylon (from recycled fishing nets) with a water-repellent finish, and you’ve got three pockets – one zipped chest pocket and two welted hand warmer pockets. Elastic binding at the cuffs and hem helps keep the cold out. Pretty much guaranteed to be your new favourite mid-layer.

Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
