quarter zip

Halfway-open sweater style

A quarter zip is a pullover garment—typically a sweater, fleece, or athletic top—with a zipper extending from the collar partway down the chest, usually about a quarter of the garment's length.

The design allows ventilation and easy on-off without a full front opening: He threw on a quarter zip before the morning run.

Quarter zips occupy middle ground between casual and dressed-up, common in golf courses and office-casual settings.
