I have three swandri shirts , a regular button up the front jobbie in a rather natty rainbow effect , a blue checked half zip(favourite) and a a cedar green half zip with a windproof lining. fabulous shirts but a bit pricey , other half stuck the blue one in the washing machine on a hot wash and shrunk it aswell as taking the oils out of it grrrr!

I've been tempted by those heavy woollen shirts but I prefer fleeces as mid-layers due to their zips. Maybe I should rethink. How do you guys in the UK wear them given we're so wet?

[CharlesHarris]

Zips are convenient until they fail... And I have quit buying them as it is hard to find a quality garment with a sturdy zipper.
Plastic zippers and most Chinese metal ones are junk.

Fleece when wet will keep you warmer than wet wool.

Buy good quality, I like Berghaus as they use good quality zips and I've yet to have one fail to date.

Unlike many natural, untreated fabrics, polyester is not flammable and does not ignite easily. Once ignited, however, the synthetic fabric melts and is capable of severely burning skin. Polyester blends are even more potentially dangerous as the combination of melting fabric with natural fabric that burns at a high rate is likely to cause serious burns. Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk and linen, ignite more easily and burn more quickly than synthetic fabrics. Wool is the notable exception. It is much more challenging to light and burns with a relatively low flame velocity. Of the commonly used textile fibres (cotton, rayon, polyester, acrylic and nylon), wool is widely recognised as the most flame resistant.

Then stop poking the fire, don't get close to naked flames and use synthetic kit. I like my wool kit, I like down sleeping bags and jackets but have pretty much gone the synthetic route the last few years.
