VRST Men's Quarter Zip | Premium Performance Layer
The VRST quarter zip redefines versatile performance wear with a four-way stretch knit that moves with you through every motion. Our moisture-wicking fabric keeps you dry and comfortable whether you're warming up, training, or moving through your day.
Designed with a modern athletic fit, this quarter zip features a smooth zipper garage at the collar to prevent irritation, flatlock seams for chafe-free wear, and a drop-tail hem for better coverage. The refined silhouette transitions seamlessly from the gym to casual outings, delivering elevated style without compromising function.
We engineered this layer to be your go-to for variable conditions—breathable enough for active movement, structured enough to wear solo or as a layering piece. The lightweight construction packs easily into a gym bag while maintaining its shape and performance wash after wash.
Four-Way Stretch & Breathable Tech
Fabric & Construction Details
We built the VRST quarter zip with a premium polyester-spandex blend engineered for serious performance and everyday comfort. The fabric delivers true four-way stretch—vertical and horizontal—so every reach, twist, and movement feels natural and unrestricted.
Our moisture-wicking technology actively pulls perspiration away from your skin to the fabric surface where it evaporates quickly. Combined with integrated anti-odor treatment, the quarter zip stays fresher longer between washes even during intense training sessions.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The VRST quarter zip features a modern athletic fit designed to follow your body’s natural lines without excess fabric or restrictive tightness. We recommend ordering your standard size for a fit that sits close to the body while allowing full range of motion.
Size up if you prefer a more relaxed feel or plan to layer heavier base layers underneath. The four-way stretch accommodates movement regardless of which size you choose, but the overall silhouette will be slightly looser in the next size up.
Care & Maintenance
Machine wash the VRST quarter zip in cold water with like colors to preserve fabric integrity and color vibrancy. We recommend using liquid detergent rather than powder, which can leave residue in technical fabrics and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry—both methods work well with our fabric construction. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these chemicals break down the moisture-wicking and anti-odor treatments built into the fibers.
