birddogs, an organization we love for his or her lined shorts and khaki pants, simply had their greatest product launch in years: lined quarter-zips.
Like everybody else, we had been initially confused by the announcement. Is a lined q-zip one thing individuals want? Who even requested for this? We ordered a number of to unravel issues.
Straight out of the package deal, the quarter-zip is shockingly tender. It’s plush and stretchy all of sudden. The material is actually distinctive. My outdated half-zips from Vuori and Patagonia felt stiff and grainy as compared (and I usually love Vuori’s cloth).
The perfect factor in regards to the birddogs q-zip, although, is the match. The quarter-zip matches higher as a result of it stretches, so it’s capable of “snap” again into place, as an alternative of hanging unfastened like different outerwear.
The match was method smoother and fewer boxy than different outerwear I personal. I examined it in quite a lot of settings and it didn’t scrunch up or ‘muffin high’, irrespective of how I moved.
And what’s the take care of the liner? To be trustworthy, I don’t know. Nevertheless it feels good to put on, doesn’t get sweaty, and stretches the identical as the remainder of the q-zip.
As for worth, the birddogs q-zip is available in at $125. That’s smack in the midst of Patagonia ($139) and Vuori ($118), however with a significantly better match than both, so the selection is evident. There are solely 4 colours, and hopefully as extra individuals understand this q-zip is the true deal birddogs will come out with extra variations.
Till then, hurry to see what they’ve obtained. I’ve obtained religion of their product, however not their skill to maintain it in inventory.
