DESCRIPTION
A 95% recycled crew that doesn’t compromise on comfort and durability? You wouldn’t expect anything less from Patagonia. The Uprisal Crew Sweatshirt is made using 10.6 plastic bottles and 0.6 pounds of cotton scrap, using less water and producing less CO2 compared to the manufacture of a conventional cotton sweatshirt.
Made from heavier-weight recycled cotton/post consumer recycled polyester/elastane fleece fabric with a brushed back for cozy warmth next-to-skin. With classic crewneck pullover styling and a regular fit with just enough stretch to be comfortable all day long. The small woven label logo features original Patagonia artwork and like all Patagonia apparel is Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.
