Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Quarter Zip Sweatshirt, black

The plain one. Eight solid colours, one price, no pattern and no heather: black, navy, dark blue, colony blue, light grey, dark grey, grey and white. If you want a quarter zip that disappears under everything else you own rather than being noticed, this is the cut.

Mock neck with a zip that closes right up when the wind gets up on the ninth, regular fit, S to 3XL, and a UPF 30+ figure on the label, which is unusual on a layer this weight. It is lighter than the heather sweatshirt beside it and heavier than the vests, which puts it exactly where most autumn rounds need something. At twenty dollars flat it is the least considered purchase in the range and the one that gets worn most.

One of 4 on the quarter zips rail in Michel Rouen essentials. It also answers to quarter zips, upf golf shirts. A size letter describes the garment rather than your body, so measure your chest once and hold the figure against the chart on the buying page. The UPF figure describes dry, unstretched cloth, and you lose part of it when the shirt is soaked through or pulled tight. If you find a figure here that disagrees with the piece in your hands, tell us: how we keep them current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
