A zip-up top without a hood

Short answer: A top with a zip and no hood is easier to regulate with than one pulled over the head. Without a hood it lies flat against a chair back.

The zip regulates

If you get warm, you open it. That is quicker than taking a top on and off, and it makes the top usable in rooms with swinging temperatures.

Without a hood indoors

The hood bunches up between your back and the chair when you sit down. Without a hood the top lies flat. See sweat clothing.

As a mid layer

A thin zip-up top works under a jacket without building up. See bamboo long-sleeved t-shirt for women.

The zip in the wash

Close the zip before washing, otherwise it tears at other clothes. See snags in bamboo clothing.

Washing

40 degrees inside out and air drying. See the washing guide.
