Norbeck - Quarter Zip Fleece Pullover with Stand Collar
Norbeck - Quarter Zip Fleece Pullover with Stand Collar
A quarter zip pullover in polyester fleece with a stand collar, a chin guard and flat-seam shoulders.
The problem with a fleece is usually the neck. Left open it does nothing; zipped to the top it presses the zip pull against the throat for the rest of the walk.
Why this fleece pullover?
- Quarter zip: the zip runs from the chest to the collar, which lets the neck open by degrees instead of all or nothing.
- Chin guard: a folded panel sits behind the top of the zip, so the slider does not touch the skin when it is closed.
- Stand collar: the collar holds itself upright, which covers the back of the neck under a coat without adding a hood.
- Flat seams at the shoulder: the seams are joined flat rather than overlocked, so nothing ridges under a jacket strap or a rucksack.
- Polyester fleece: it dries far faster than a cotton sweatshirt of the same weight, which matters when the walk starts in drizzle.
Ideal for:
Men who want a mid layer for the cold half of the year that works under a jacket and on its own. It suits dog walks, touchlines, and the drive to somewhere that turns out to be colder than expected.
Is it windproof?
No. It is a fleece, not a shell — it insulates but the wind passes through. Worn under a jacket it holds warmth well.
Does the zip go all the way down?
No. It stops at the chest, which is what keeps the front panel unbroken and the collar sitting upright.
How does it wash?
Cold, on its own or with similar fabrics. Fleece picks up lint from towels, so keep it out of that load.
