> Want to be green and look great? Drop the Patagonia fleece...
That Patagonia “fleece” would feel nicer, function better, and last longer if it were actually made out of a fleece and not out of plastic. I can’t really understand how that happened.

Seems like a weird choice of brand to pick on.
I mentioned Patagonia simply because they were already under discussion. There are plenty of other offenders.
You're not talking about the outer layer of the down jackets?
I do make a lot of winter trips like the one in the photograph (long winter backpacking trips) and am an instructor and I only use wool for my socks and other undergarments, and jackets. Down for sleeping in. Synthetic underpants though!
Other than that, a wool felt is quite nice.
But at least wool can be repaired.
Yeah and people who buy Patagonia fleece expect it to be made from recycled water bottles
