Suspiciously efficient of temperature regulation and comfort. The dashing style is deeper than the captivating knitwork. The first garment I've ever felt incapable of doing without. Abject in quality and utility, one deserves to own this beauty. Impeccable folks behind the knit and this brand. Support Prometheus Design Werx.

Solid construction, great cut and drape.
The CWO is built so well, the design and cut are very flattering while keeping harder use in mind. The yarn is very warm when needed, but very comfortable when you’d think it might get too warm.
The lined hand pockets are a nice touch, they feel nice on the hand, but can be used for storage without worrying about something catching and pulling on the yarn.
Overall a great piece you could wear to a casual dinner one night,wear under a pack to hike the next morning and it would shine in either role.
