MAXELTI Active Quarter Zip Pullover

Description

The quarter zip pullover is the layer most people end up wearing more than anything else they own. This one is built on a 3.8 ounce, 100% polyester interlock knit with a high cadet collar, a reverse coil zipper and a clean front panel that carries the MAXELTI Active mark on the left chest. It is light enough for a warm afternoon and closed enough for a cold morning, which is exactly why it stays in the truck all season.

The first hour outside is the one that decides your day

Most people dress for the temperature they feel in the parking lot. Thirty minutes later they are warm, damp and carrying a jacket in one hand. A light knit that moves moisture instead of holding it is what stops that from happening. You start out slightly cool, the fabric pulls sweat off your skin, and you never have to stop and change layers. The CDC guidance on working in the cold makes the same point about layering: several light layers beat one heavy one. This quarter zip pullover is built to be the one in the middle.

Features of the quarter zip pullover

• 3.8 ounce, 100% polyester interlock. A smooth, light knit that holds its shape and dries fast.
• PosiCharge technology. Locks the color into the fabric, so the black stays black and the navy stays navy wash after wash.
• Moisture wicking finish. Moves sweat away from the skin instead of trapping it against you.
• High cadet collar. Covers the neck when the wind picks up, and sits flat and clean when you open the zip.
• Reverse coil zipper. A smooth front line and simple one hand venting while you are moving.
• Set in sleeves, open cuffs, open hem. A relaxed shape that layers over a tee and under a shell without bunching.
• Removable tag. Pull it out and there is nothing scratching the back of your neck.
• Left chest logo, printed not embroidered. The mark stays flat and light, with no stitching to add weight or rub.
• 8 sizes, XS through 4XL. Four colors: Black, True Navy, Iron Grey and White.

Find your size before you order

Please read this part. Sizes on this quarter zip pullover are unisex and the cut is relaxed, so most people take their normal size. Measure a shirt you already like across the chest, one inch below the armhole, and match that number to the table below. If you are between two sizes and you plan to wear a layer underneath, take the larger one.

Choosing your color

Black is the one that hides dirt and works with everything, and it is the color most people order first. True Navy reads a little dressier and still looks right on a job site. Iron Grey is the easiest in warm sun because it does not absorb heat the way black does. White is the lightest of the four and shows the logo with the most contrast. Every color of the quarter zip pullover carries the same logo on the left chest.

Where it fits

A quarter zip pullover is a middle layer and a stand alone top at the same time. Over a tee on a cool morning walk. Under a rain shell when the weather turns. On the water at first light, in a treestand before the sun clears the ridge, around camp after the fire dies down. It also works far away from any of that, which is the real test of a good pullover: you can wear it to drop the kids off and nobody reads it as gear.

Pair the quarter zip pullover with the rest of the hoodies and jackets in our own label, or browse everything in the MAXELTI Active store.

Care and maintenance

Machine wash the quarter zip pullover cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Turn it inside out to protect the printed logo. Skip the fabric softener, because it coats the fibers and slows down the moisture wicking that makes this fabric worth wearing. Do not iron directly over the print. Do not bleach. Treated this way the color and the logo hold up for years rather than seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Is this quarter zip pullover warm enough for winter?
On its own it works as a cool weather layer rather than a winter coat. When the temperature drops further, wear it as the middle layer under a shell or an insulated jacket. The CDC guidance on cold stress explains why several light layers outperform one heavy one.

Does the logo crack or peel?
The logo is printed directly into the fabric, not applied as a vinyl patch. Wash it inside out in cold water and keep it away from a hot iron and it stays flat and sharp.

Is the fit unisex or men’s?
It is a unisex cut with a relaxed athletic shape. Women who want a closer fit usually take one size down from their normal unisex size.

Can I wear this quarter zip pullover for running and training?
Yes. The interlock knit is the same type of fabric used in training tops, and the quarter zip lets you dump heat without stopping to take anything off.

Does the collar stay up?
The cadet collar is built to stand on its own when the zip is closed. Open the zip and it lays flat without curling.

Every piece in our own label is printed to order, so we cannot take back a size that does not fit. Please use the size table above before you order. If a piece arrives with a print defect or damage, contact us within 30 days and we will make it right.
