>>2861813I have one. Size up if between sizes. I like midlayers to fall back down over my hips when i lower my arms. Since there's no side slits or anything it doesn't slide all the way down. I like my clothes loose though.
The fabric is really interesting. It's like a polartec classic fleece where the fabric sticks out like hairs. Ironically that fleece was made to imitate wool.
I probably wouldn't go for the heavy in your pic since it's a lot more expensive and you don't want a ton of weight unless where you live is frigid.
If I got again id prob get the quarter zip as the neck hole is tighter than I like and I like to vent out the front if possible. I wouldn't trust a full zip though for 2 reasons. 1: I guarantee the zipper is ass and much more likely to break as a full zip than partial. 2: if it shrinks at all the zipper wont shrink making the zipper fold a bunch so when you sit the zipper will pull up like you're sporting a boner.
The guy keeps updating the fabric with the mill and I definitely think he's onto something. Most companies just stick with what they've used forever, what's available, or what's cheapest. It's very warm for its weight.
I mainly still use Stanfields 80/20 heavy wool or great australian bushwear shirts though. for me it's a little too warm without being able to vent. i also hate hoodies though (will prob cut off at some point and cut a line down the front for an opening.). the quarter zip wasn't available when i got mine.
