Lightweight fleece jackets maximize core warmth without weighting you down. They wick away moisture and dry quickly to handle the most grueling of outdoor pursuits.

Replace the spandex cuffs on an old Synchilla?

I have a Synchilla fleece jacket from the mid to late 80s. It was my first Patagonia anything. The stretch in the cuffs is long gone, so I only ever wear it when I am feeling real sentimental. Can these be replaced?

Despite fantastic repair guides Patagonia has,

cuffs is one thing they do not cover as of yet. But it may be in the works, so I would contact them here and ask:

The synchilla pullovers last way longer than the cuffs, as long as you do not overheat the jackets, the fabric is VERY rugged. Excellent idea that Patagonia figure out a replacement for these. I have replaced them on one of my jackets 3 times. I like to sew things by hand, and do not like to dispose of functional items. If you know someone with a good sewing machine and creativity they may be able to help out, people with sewing machines can do some amazing things!

Hopefully this will be useful to someone since its been a few years since the original question, but the cuffs can definitely be replaced! I find that using fold over elastic is easiest. It's cheap, its sold on lots of colors (check Etsy if you want a specific color), and there are a bunch of tutorials about how to sew using fold over elastic. Hope it helps!
