The material of this lighter weight sweater is very soft and comfortable. The neck is designed to provide good control of drafts getting in through the neck in windy conditions - it is the first thing I grab to throw in the backpack when going out and expecting weather change or windy conditions. It also washes very well on the delicate cycle and stands up to drying at medium temp (though takes some time based on the density of the fabric). I've been very happy with this (as well as other purchases) from FL Woods - any items that I've bought so far are very top-quality products. It's a great company that makes some unique products (they also feel great to wear).
