A quarter zip hoodie is a pullover with a short zip at the neck, usually reaching the chest. You pull it over your head, then use the zip to open the collar for a little air or close it up against the cold. A full zip sweatshirt opens down the entire front like a jacket, so it's quick to put on and take off, easy to layer over a T-shirt, and simple to adjust through the day.
Choose a quarter zip hoodie or fleece if:
- you want a smart, sporty look for corporate uniforms, golf clubs, running groups or school teams
- you want an uninterrupted chest and front for your logo
- you need a mid-layer that sits neatly under a jacket
Choose full zip sweatshirts if:
- you want maximum layering and easy on/off, for example for work, travel or kids
- you want a relaxed, casual hoodie with pockets
- you're planning large back or sleeve prints, as the front is split by the zip
