Very cozy but with flaws - Patagonia R3 Hoody - Women's

This sweater is very cozy and soft but for being a technical piece there are a few design elements it lacks that kill the deal for me. 1. The zipper. It is way too bulky so if you intend to zip it up to your chain, you’ll feel the heavy zipper digging in. There is also no zipper guard at all which I assume is because it’s reversible size so be prepared to feel cold zipper against your skin. 2. No pockets if you reverse it. 3. The asymmetrical hem on the cuffs is just weird looking to me 3. The hood shape is so tiny and awkward. It’s definitely designed for hiding under a helmet in the backcountry or something. If you zip it up all the way you look like Kenny from South Park. It’s definitely not designed to be worn extensively as an outer layer. Otherwise it’s very warm and I’m sure would keep me warm under a shell if I didn’t return it.
