Where the zip changes the garment

Where the zip changes the garment

Fleece weight is the spec that matters, but the closure decides how you use the thing. A full zip comes off without touching your hair and vents from the bottom. A half zip only opens the neck. On a cold walk that turns warm, that is all you need.

A pullover does neither. It also has no zip teeth to press into your chin, and it holds more heat because there is no metal line running down the front.

The eight

The Yumo Oversized Fleece is the heaviest at 355 gsm, running 42% cotton, 53% polyester and 5% other fiber, measuring 73 cm long with a 58 cm shoulder at size M. The Honeycomb Zip Stand-Collar is the narrowest across the shoulder at 54 cm.

Across the group body length at size M runs 51 cm to 68 cm, sleeve runs 56.5 cm to 82 cm and shoulder spans 54 cm to 64 cm. All eight carry a full size chart, sizes reach S to 2XL, and shoots use a 187 cm model or taller. Wash cold. Line dry.
