Quiksilver The Block Knit Sweater

The Block Knit has a welcome weight to it: testers stepped out in Denver snowfalls with nothing but the sweater over a t-shirt, surprised by the high level of comfort and protection. However, this isn’t a Gore-tex shell and it doesn’t claim to be. Even so, a warm, cotton/nylon/polyamide/wool blend defended against melting snowflakes and misty rain. Wear it on a seaside stroll in San Francisco to check the surf or in a drafty bar in a no-name mountain town. The bold maroon center stripe adds classic Quik style, as does the tasteful woven logo on the left hip. A hidden inner loop can attach to key rings, injecting the stylish Block with even more utility.
