Reviews

Stunning. Amazing American quality. Best

"Stunning. Amazing American quality. Best quarter I’ve ever owned. If you have a shorter torso, go a size down!"

— Ty J. (5/5)

Awesome midweight jacket

"Better than fleece jackets from other brands. Great mid weight layer under a warmer jacket for extreme cold, or worn by itself in cool weather. Kinda of a snug fit that I actually like with this particular piece."

— Aaron S. (5/5)

"Awesome! Smaller than the powder hoody in the arm pits.. wear it everyday at night love it.."

— Peter (4/5)

A bit small

"It fits tight around the shoulders, and the zipper pokes right into my Adam’s apple when zipped up. Besides that the craftsmanship and fabric are great."

— Fred C. (4/5)

I’m 5’11” and 185 pounds

"I’m 5’11” and 185 pounds with an athletic build. I got the large and the length is just right. It’s a little tight in the chest but absolutely love it overall"

— Patrick W. (5/5)

WARM , COMFORTABLE , PERFECT!

"I own numerous pieces of Duckworth merino , and love very one. They have created the perfect layering system , so they work for me , in Colorado , from Fall thru' the Spring. My new Powder Quarter Zip looks great and will be perfect as the weather gets colder. Well done Duckworth. Peter"

— PETER T. (5/5)

Definitely slim fit

"I pretty much buy large for everything they have. I have bought several thousands dollars of their products over the years The long sleeve shirts are loose fitting but a large of this product is pretty tight, if you want slim city style go with normal size but for comfort go a size bigger. Me at 6’2” and 220lbs chest 42. I’ll probably buy the xl as well"

— Joshua N. (4/5)

Adios mi poncho

"Great and warm mid layer when working in my property in rainy Patagonia - Chile. No need for ponchos anymore!!"

— Enrique G. (5/5)

Powder quarter zip

"I really love this item. It runs on the small side so you may want to size up. It’s very warm and looks good enough for social occasions."

— Randy L. (5/5)

High Quality / Runs Small

"I normally wear 42-44 undershirts and 44R sport coats. After reviewing the other comments posted here about these shirts running a bit small, I ordered an XL. The XL fits me well, even if it still seems to be a tad on the smaller size. (I imagine I would have felt poured into a Large. ) The shirt has helped keep me warm during outdoor stints of a few hours when combined with other layers in temps down to 18F so far this winter. The workmanship appears to be high quality. Having worn the shirt a few times since it arrived, I’m pleased with it."

Q&A

When will you have more 1/4 zip charcoal XL
Hi Darin, We just shipped a bunch of these Powder 1/4 zips from the office to the warehouse for restock. A good quantity of XL in Charcoal that should pop up on the site in the next week or two, so stay tuned!
Hello, I'm 5'11" and 190 lbs - I purchased a medium powder hoody last year and it fits well, but based on the reviews, should I get a large in the quarter zip? It sounds like it's a narrower fit than the hoody.
Hey there, thank you for your question! This is in alignment with what we have seen, we also recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit in the chest.
How much does it weigh? I am looking for a lightweight but warm mid layer for a Denali expedition
The Maverick fabric is 160 GSM!
Does it quarter zip have hand pockets?
It does not have side hand pockets. Just the front zip chest pocket!
Will these be back soon?
The next time we will be able tp restock these will be in the fall
