Does the Kuhl Ryzer 1/4 Zip run true to size?

Most buyers find the fit good, including the athletic cut. Some say it runs a little small, so consider sizing up if you are between sizes or plan to layer.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

It is a heavyweight sweater knit that gives good warmth without being too warm. It works best as a midlayer under a shell in cold conditions.

Can I wear it in summer?

The fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking and rated UPF 50+. The heavyweight knit still makes it better suited to cool mornings and shoulder seasons than hot afternoons.

What is the zipper like?

It has a 9-inch coil zipper at the neck for venting and easy on and off.

Does it have thumbloops?

Yes. Kuhl's signature thumbloops are on the cuffs and help keep the sleeves in place when you layer over it.

How does it compare with a plain fleece quarter-zip?

The Ryzer uses a soft sweater knit rather than fleece, with stretch, UPF 50+ and articulated sleeves. It looks more casual and layers with less bulk, but costs more than a basic fleece.
