Soft and spongy, lovely and warm, this versatile zip vest is made from Engel's unique pure organic merino wool fleece. With a high neck and deep pockets at the front for a cosy neck and hands. Longer cut at the back to keep your kidneys warm. Perfect equally for days out and about in town, as well as great for active outdoors, on the bike, at the beach, in the garden, and more.

Engel's thick fleece is dirt and water-repellant thanks to the lanolin concentration of the wool and regenerates through airing, so frequent washing is unnecessary.
