Snuggle up
The only part of Patagonia’s brand-new
recycled Better Sweater that isn’t made
from re-purposed materials is the zipper
teeth. Plus, in keeping with Patagonia’s
eco-friendly approach, it’s dyed in a
low-impact process too – so you can feel
smug as well as snug when you wear it
on fresh winter mornings.
