Patagonia Better Sweater 1/4 Zip - Boys':

The Boys’ Better Sweater® 1/4-Zip is a cozy pullover fleece built from 10-oz recycled polyester with a sweater-knit exterior and a fleece interior. The fleece is dyed using a low-impact process that significantly reduces the use of dyestuffs, energy and water compared to conventional dyeing methods. For comfort, the zip-through stand-up collar has a welted zipper; the shoulder seams are set forward for ease under pack straps; and the soft, brushed-polyester jersey trim inside neck, zipper garage, cuffs and hem is comfy. Treasures can be stashed in the zippered left-chest pocket. Hand-me-down ID label. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.

Note
