Sport-Tek Pullover Styles Explained: Quarter-Zip, Half-Zip, Hooded, and Fleece

Sport-Tek sells dozens of pullover styles under names like Drive Fleece, Posicharge, Triumph, and Endeavor, each describing a different fabric weight or fit within the wider Sport-Tek catalog. That naming can be confusing for anyone searching for a way to put a logo on one. This is a plain-English breakdown of what those names generally mean and, importantly, what Bear Grips Pro Shops actually carries so there is no confusion before you order.

What Bear Grips Pro Shops Actually Carries

Bear Grips Pro Shops carries the classic Sport-Tek quarter-zip pullover in a men's and a ladies' cut, both $35.95 free base or $29.88 VIP base. This is the standing-collar, short-front-zip, performance-fabric mid-layer that covers the vast majority of what shoppers actually need when they search any of the style names below.

Zip Styles: Quarter-Zip vs Half-Zip vs Full-Zip

• Quarter-zip. A short zipper, roughly a quarter of the way down the chest, with a standing or open collar. This is the style Bear Grips prints.
• Half-zip. Often used interchangeably with quarter-zip in casual search, referring to the same general short-zip mid-layer style.
• Full-zip (jacket). A zipper that runs the full length of the front, more jacket than pullover. Bear Grips does not currently carry a full-zip Sport-Tek jacket.

Hood and Collar Variations

• Hooded pullover. Adds a hood to the quarter-zip or crew silhouette. Bear Grips' current listing is a standing-collar style without a hood.
• Cowl neck. A looser, draped collar, distinct from the standard standing collar. Not part of the current catalog.
• V-neck pullover. An open V collar instead of a zip. Not part of the current catalog; the Bear Grips piece is a quarter-zip.

Fabric and Sub-Line Names: Fleece, Posicharge, Triumph, and Endeavor

Sport-Tek markets several named sub-lines with their own fabric technology, including Drive Fleece, Posicharge Competitor, Triumph, and Endeavor styles. These are specific product families within the broader Sport-Tek catalog. Bear Grips Pro Shops does not currently list these specific named sub-lines as separate products. What we do carry is the standard performance quarter-zip pullover, which serves the same general "branded, zip-neck mid-layer" need most of these searches are pointed at. Sport wick, stretch, and lightweight are general Sport-Tek fabric descriptors rather than distinct products Bear Grips lists separately.

Weather-Shell Styles: Windbreaker and Rain Pullover

A windbreaker or rain pullover is a lightweight, water-resistant shell, a different garment category from a performance-fabric quarter-zip. Bear Grips does not currently carry a weather-shell style pullover. For rain or wind protection, plan to pair a separate weather shell with the branded quarter-zip rather than expecting one piece to do both jobs.

Sleeve Length and Fabric Weight

• Long sleeve (standard). The Bear Grips quarter-zip pullover is a long-sleeve piece, the standard for this category.
• Short sleeve pullover or quarter-zip. A warm-weather variation with short sleeves. Not part of the current catalog.
• Super heavyweight or lightweight french terry. Weight variations within the wider Sport-Tek range. The current Bear Grips listing is a standard mid-weight performance fabric suited to most three-season wear.
