Hiking Club Quarter-Zip Pullovers for Spring and Fall Trail Days

Hiking club quarter-zip pullovers cover the spring and fall sweet spot when a tee is too cold and a full hoodie is too warm. Our catalog includes the Sport-Tek Mens Performance Quarter-Zip ($29.88) and the Sport-Tek Ladies Quarter-Zip ($29.88), both in performance fabric with custom logo printing. No minimum, members order direct.

When a quarter-zip beats a hoodie

Three scenarios:

1. Cool morning that warms up: unzip halfway for ventilation as the sun comes out.
2. Layering under a shell: cleaner profile than a bulky hoodie hood.
3. Town wear post-hike: more polished look than a hoodie, fits dinner reservations.

Hoodies still win for true cold and for casual lounge wear. The quarter-zip is the third-season layer most clubs forget to stock until a member asks for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fabric fleece-lined?

The Sport-Tek performance quarter-zip is a smooth athletic interior, not heavy fleece. Warm but breathable.

Yes. Quarter-zips embroider clean at the left chest. Full-back can be printed if preferred.

Are quarter-zips warmer than tech tees?

Significantly warmer. They are a true mid-layer.
