Product Information
Full details
The Patagonia Synch Vest is a midweight fleece vest designed for adult males seeking versatile layering for outdoor activities in cool weather or for everyday casual wear. Its primary benefit is providing essential warmth without bulk, making it ideal for hiking, camping, or simply adding an extra layer on a chilly day. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which might be looser than some prefer for high-exertion activities requiring a more streamlined silhouette. This vest offers a full-zip front, stand-up collar, and multiple secure pockets for convenience.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Synch Vest?
The Patagonia Synch Vest is designed as a midweight fleece layer for providing warmth during outdoor activities in cool weather and for casual everyday wear.
What materials is the vest made from?
The main body is 100% polyester Synchilla® double-sided fleece (50% recycled). The trim is 100% nylon plain weave, and pocket bags are 100% polyester brushed mesh tricot.
How should I wash the vest?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low. Do not bleach.
Is this vest waterproof?
No, the Synch Vest is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide insulation and is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof or water-resistant shell in wet conditions.
What does 'Synchilla' refer to?
Synchilla is Patagonia's proprietary name for their soft, durable, and warm fleece material, often made with recycled content.
Can this vest be worn by women?
While this specific product description is for men's sizing, Patagonia often offers similar fleece vest styles in women's versions. It's best to check specific product listings for gender-specific fits.
How much does the vest weigh?
The vest weighs 278 grams (9.8 oz) in a regular fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently try to pull the zipper up or down. If it persists, check for any small snags or debris. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth can sometimes help.
Vest feels too loose for desired fit.
Consider layering with a slimmer-fitting base layer. For some activities, a tighter-fitting fleece might be preferred, but the Synch Vest is designed for a regular, comfortable fit suitable for layering.
Fleece appears matted or pilled after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely (cold wash, low tumble dry). Excessive heat or agitation can contribute to pilling. If minor pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can often restore the surface.
