All-Season Quarter Zip

I was super happy with my lovely Oliver Charles quarter zip. Kept me dry and cozy when needed and sweat wicking when appropriate as the weather changed from rainy cold to hot sun. Having the versatility in a sweater is key in how you feel, this does the job. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to be warm and wick sweat when appropriate as the day heats up.

I wasn’t sure how I would feel about wearing the same sweater for a whole week, especially one that is a noticeable color. In the end, it was nice to not overthink what I would wear each day, and the color was so gorgeous that wearing it made me happy. I’m definitely thinking about how I can travel with less moving forward. The sweater is pricey, but worth it for those who can afford it and who are looking for a keeper.

My goal for reviewing the yak sweater was to determine whether or not it would be useful as hunting gear. The warmth to weight ratio is phenomenal and one thing that surprised me was its ability to cut wind, which seems superior to standard wool. I’ve been pleased with its performance overall! I haven't washed it once and it smells perfect. Definitely worth the investment. I would recommend this to hunters who are looking for a warm, natural fiber, underlayer.

I was only skeptical if I could manage a wool sweater in warmer temperatures. Found that to be untrue. The sweater was extremely comfortable and I wore it in 70+degrees working on a friend's farm on the last day of my challenge. It performed beautifully.

I did the seven day challenge for the quarter-zip and was very happy with it. The sweaters are unisex. I would normally wear a L in unisex sizes but I like my sweaters to be a bit over sized so I got the XL. The sweater is quite long especially with a short torso, but I could fold it under and was fine. It is thin enough to not create a lot of extra bulk. It has been good in a wide range of temperatures. It even remained fairly comfortable in the 80s. After seven days the sweater has kept its shape and still smells great. I think I could go a lot longer without washing if I wanted to. I have a trip to Japan soon and am trying to pack light. This will be the only sweater I need to bring.

Pros: does not attract odors, whether it be dog odors, body odors, cooking smells. No odors. It does not attract pet hair or sewing threads. It pills minimally and then you wash it in the machine with a pair of jeans (with the zipper zipped) and all the pills come off. Doesn’t show stains. I wore it 30 days, sometimes day and night, without washing. Then I air dried it on a drying screen and it looked as good as new. Very warm and not too warm. I went away hiking for a week and it was the only sweater I brought. I did not need another sweater! The sage green goes with everything. Cons: expensive

I was skeptical of wearing a sweater for 30 days straight without washing it. I was concerned it would lose his shape and that it was starting to look shabby. Quite the contrary. I really wore the sweater day in and day out for 30 days and all different situations did not wash it once it kept its shape. The sleeves were long enough and it still doesn’t stink. I would recommend the sweater to anyone who needs a sweater that can transition from casual to business to travel . It goes well with pants. It goes well with dresses and skirts. I can layer it under other sweaters or jackets or whatever. I can open the zip for more ventilation. I can close the zip if I want more of a turtleneck type feel. It is not scratchy. I love it. I travel quite a bit and it allowed me to drastically reduce my luggage amount as I could wear it on the plane and with various outfits, both dressy and casual. So excited to travel only with a carry-on..

I enjoyed trying the Oliver Charles All-Season Quarter Zip out during the 5 Adventure Challenge. I got to wear the sweater in 3 different cities and climates. I feel like it lived up to its name of All-Season because I wore it on a colder fall day in Ohio and also on a warmer day in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. I was worried that the sweater would be too itchy because I have very sensitive skin, but I was able to wear it on my bare arms without a problem. I’ve worn the sweater for about 7 days and haven’t felt the need to wash it yet—I’ve simply hung it up after wearing. I think it is a great sustainable addition to my wardrobe and I highly recommend this style.

Feels soft and cuddly. I am wearing it today the first chilly one. And feel comfortable.

This is my 2nd OC sweater, so I knew how fabulous it would be. I was super excited to try the 1/4 zip, since it’s my favorite format for a mid layer. This is a great travel piece as the charcoal color is dark, the zipper makes it easy to get on and off, and the wool makes it durable, repeatable and care-free. Everyone should have that perfect travel companion that makes your life easier. An OC sweater is that and looks great too!
