It is a half zip that only opens halfway, so why are there two sliders at the top and bottom?
One might wonder why a two-way zipper is used on a pullover style that does not open all the way to the hem. This question seeks to verify what practical purpose it serves when actually worn while moving.
It makes it convenient to regulate body temperature while wearing it, as you can keep the neck closed to block cold wind and open only the bottom to release trapped heat inside the chest.
Even though it is a pullover style that does not open all the way down to the hem, a zipper that opens both from the top and bottom is applied to the front[1][2]. A 2-Way zipper has two sliders attached, allowing you to create an opening as much as you want from either direction.
This lightweight fleece from ostrya is designed to make regulating body temperature easy while on the move[3][4]. When picking up the pace outdoors, you encounter moments when you need to block cold air from getting into your neck, yet need to vent out the sweat and heat building up in your torso.
At such times, by keeping the top zipper fastened up to the neck and pushing only the bottom slider up toward the chest, you can quickly vent hot air from the inside without taking off the garment[5]. It allows you to vent heat quickly without exposing your neck to cold wind, making it ideal for continuing activities while keeping it on.
The shape of the pullers attached to the zipper sliders and the manufacturer of the trims have not yet been confirmed.
