Why is Patagonia sizing all over the place?

I find it very hard to shop for Patagonia clothes, because the sizing between different items is vastly different.

I don't understand why the fit of seemingly very similar items, is so vastly different. Anyone have any insight on this, from a manufacturing perspective?

T-shirts:

  • The Responsibili-tee size S fits me very baggy and loose.
  • The 100% organic cotton size S fits me quite tight / form-fitting

Sweaters:

  • The Synchilla Lightweight Half-Snap fleece size S fits me perfectly
  • The Retro Pile Half-Snap fleece size S fits very baggy

Rainjackets:

  • The fit between the TorrentShell 3L and the Granite Crest size S fit quite differently.

Are the Nano-Air Light Jacket / Hoodie new products? They don't have any reviews

Can't find any info about them. Wondering if they are new for this year or something? Are they the same as the Nano-Air Light vest?

Is this length normal for the R2 TechFace Hoody?

Picked up the Patagonia R2 TechFace Hoody in size S (172cm/55kg, so pretty slim build). Fit in the shoulders and sleeves feels right, but the hem sits pretty high on my waist and I’m getting some draft/wind coming up from underneath the hem when standing still.

Is this normal for this jacket, and if so, is there anything that actually helps with the draft (layering differently, tucking in a shirt, etc.) or is this just a tradeoff of the design?

Backpacks

Is it just me or go Patagonia backpacks suck for everyday use. The laptop sleeve is difficult to access and the top zipper pocket is horribly placed such that stuff falls out all the time. Think I’m done.

How light is Patagonia's "Feather Grey" in person?

Hi everyone,
I am 37 years old and looking to buy a Patagonia Down Sweater. My main priority is finding a jacket that is muted, blending in easily without drawing any unnecessary attention.
I am considering the "Feather Grey" color, but I have a question about its actual shade.

For those who own it or have seen it in person: how light is "Feather Grey" actually? Is it overly bright and eye-catching, or is it a quiet, understated grey? I want to avoid anything that looks too flashy or bright.
Thanks for the help!

Can anyone tell me how the r2 yulex boots are for swimming? I'd also like to know how thick the souls are as well.

Tempted to buy for sea shoes for wild swimming and protection against sea urchins, can anyone let me know their thoughts for this? There's not much information on line and couldn't find them in store.

Atom Sling 8L and water bottles

What’s your method here? Do they pair together, or are they separate things for you?

I have an atom sling I’m planning to use for international travel, walking around a city and short trails specifically.

I want to carry a 24oz water bottle. I’m wondering if in reality it’ll be too clunky inside the bag, or if you use the straps or a clip to attach one? I haven’t had a chance to actually use my bag yet, and I’m deciding which water bottle to get.

I know my yetis and hydro flasks are too bulky. I came across the Owala FreeSip 24oz (regular, twist, or 25oz plastic) seem to be like potential options.

Just looking for first hand experience, so any commentary on the atom sling and water bottles is greatly appreciated!

When did women's Capilene Cool Daily tops get longer?

I have a few xs women's Capilene cool daily t shirts I bought used a couple years ago. Decided to buy some new ones in the sale and they're all a good 1 1/2 inches or more longer than my old ones. Gray in front is my old shirt, green/blue in back is new. They also seem a bit boxier. The longer length is too long and hits me weird. Does anyone know when they changed the cut of the shirt? I want to buy some used ones with the shorter length. Thanks

Never thought Patagonia would resort to sloppy use of AI in product images

AI has clearly been used here to place the product on a model. Tell tale signs are that the font of the logo turned funky and that the bag suddenly has straps hanging off of it.

EDIT: The straps are a real feature of the product.

What Patagonia item am I looking for?

I'm looking for something that provides UPF protection and that I can slip on when walking/commuting. For example, leaving the office and putting it over another shirt.

I thought the new Capilene cool sun hoody could be the answer, but I don't think that material would hold up well since I use a backpack. I have a capilene cool daily hoody and a capilene tshirt and I honestly don't think it's enough of a work horse to weather a backpack.

Now that the capilene is out, I have no idea what else to get.

Is there anything that is decently breathable and made for movement that has UPF protection or am I just best off getting a sun umbrella at this point and looking like a dork?

Are they ever bringing back Salmon Energy?

I would do absolutely anything for it to come back. Does anyone know if it will be happening or was it just a one time drop?

We Be Pulkin - An Old Black Hole Appreciation

Man, these older Black Hole bags are awesome. I recently picked up a 90L Black Hole Duffle for schlepping gear for winter mountaineering and oh baby does it look fantastic riding in the Paris Expedition Pulk! I got it on eBay for a great price and it's from 2013 but looks brand new with zero wear and absolutely no delamination. It is missing the shoulder straps, but I'm never going to put that thing on my back while filled with gear, so I didn't mind at all. Its replacing some fair weather Gregory 90L gear hauling duffles that are not water resistant. Could not be more stoked about the colors too.

I also just got back from a flight where I used the Mini Messenger as a personal bag which I recently got from REI's used section for a song. It was fantastic and was just the right size to slide under the seat in front and conveniently slid on the handle of my wheeled carryon luggage. It's from 2016 and also in brand new shape.

I'm a recent convert to Patagonia items and I couldn't be happier with the quality and value. Some of the clothing cuts don't work for my body shape without alterations, but it's worth it when the quality is there. I have a few fleeces, some casual and alpine pants, and some snow pants. The collection shows no signs of slowing down. See you out there!

Iron Forge jacshirt or chore coat

Curious if anyone owns these or has both. I’d like to get one for use from fall-spring. Leaning towards the chore coat but appreciate some feedback. Temps usually in the range of 0-10 degrees Celsius (30-50F) where I live.

Also I’m typically a medium. Should I size down to a Small with these jackets? With the jacshirt, I’d probably only wear a t-shirt or sweater underneath.
