The CWO (C.old W.eather O.perations) Full Zip Sweater is a robust, alpinist style sweater knit with extra fine, premium, merino yarns. Featuring a 2-way YKK front zipper, two YKK zippered hand pockets, stretch fabric trims reinforcing the arms and shoulders, and a timeless classic rib knit. Expertly knit in Italy. Available in Syth Black. #cwosweater
The CWO Full Zip Sweater is a modern classic, taking cues from the British Commando Sweater from WWII, classic fisherman's sweaters and vintage mountaineering sweaters, but updated and upgraded with extra fine 18.5 micron merino yarns and machine washable. It is easy to take on/off with the addition of the full zippered opening, and is on a substantial 2+lbs in yarn weight. Merino wool is nature's original technical material, no-melt, no-drip and insulates when wet. We partnered with a family owned, fine Italian woolen mill that has been making sweaters for generations. With the grand Dolomites as their backyard, they know a thing or two about mountaineering sweaters. From the Eiger to Outpost 31, the CWO Full Zip Cardigan is a highest quality, premium, old school, technical mid-layer with timeless styling for those who value ruggedness and fine classic design.
It's very nice. If you like this style, it's beautiful. I'm a hefty guy, XXL fits fine even if it is a somewhat more athletic fit - it looks nice. I wouldn't balk at the price, the quality is clearly there, it's heavy, you're getting plenty of sweater here. Excited to test it out on an upcoming trip!

Amazing sweater
Heavy duty with modern features. Very warm when fully zipped but still versatile for more moderate temperatures. Side pockets are very well designed—invisible when not in use and unobtrusive when in use. Highly recommended!

Best sweater ever
Love the sweater. Have it in black and green. Better version of my issued USMC Wool sweater. This sweater is not itchy at all, extremely comfortable, and temperature regulating.

Great Sweater
This is an awesome sweater. I’m hoping to see one in Navy Blue at some point. I recently purchased a couple of sweaters from various higher end vendors (think famous NW company and Swedish outdoor brand) and they don’t come close to the quality of the CWO sweater. I’m 6’ 170 (16 x 35 in a dress shirt) and the large fits well.
The pockets are sewn really well into the seam of the sweater and are actually functional over some of the pockets you get on sweaters where if you put something in the pocket it will bag down the whole front of the sweater.
This is a heavy weight sweater and regulates temperature extremely well. It is a top of the line product…please make it in blue.
