This does sometimes cause confusion. A half zip sweater, like the Mens Cotton Half Zip Jumper, often features a zipper that runs from the collar down to about the middle of the garment as you would expect in a half zip. Typically a half zip reaches the chest or just below and in contrast, a quarter zip sweater has a shorter zipper, usually extending only a quarter of the way from the collar and stopping around the upper chest. The primary distinction between two styles of zipper garment is often the length of the zipper opening, but this isn't the case with Barbour. Barbour have named this item a Barbour Cotton Half Zip Sweater when it is actual fact a quarter zip in comparison to other quarter zip sweaters. The zipper on this jumper ends around the upper part of the chest. Before you go ahead and buy this sweater, it's important to decide if the length of the zip meets your needs before ordering.
