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.
I’ve now had my new CWO sweater for a few weeks now and even after just receiving and opening the packaging the quality was clearly obvious!! I’ve owned similar sweaters from other competing manufacturers that produce clothing in the US or specifically California that charge more money for the same design, and their quality is not even close to the Prometheus CWO sweater. This thing is a beast that will keep you warm as a midlayer, or as an outer layer in the appropriate environments. Take my advice and purchase the PDW CWO sweater instead of the competitors that charge more money you’ll save money and be happier in terms of quality!!!

Fantastic Quality and Product
I had heard for a period of time that Prometheus had far exceeded the quality of TAD; so I decided to purchase a PDW CWO sweater. I’ve compared it to my TAD sweater known as the “Special Service Sweater”, and I am so happy I finally listened and bought PDW!! The CWO sweater they sell is far better in quality of wool, stitching, and warmth factor….plus PDW had my order at my door far earlier than I ever expected it to arrive!! Now that I know where the quality items are I’ll be purchasing a LOT more Prometheus Design Werx products in the very near future!!

Beautiful Sweater
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!
