Quality and comfort

Weighing 225 g/m², this summer version of the marine sweater is both lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for warmer climates. Gram per square meter (g/m²) is a unit of measurement used to describe the weight or thickness of a fabric per square meter. A higher g/m² value indicates a thicker and heavier fabric, often resulting in higher quality and better durability. Lighter fabrics such as those with a lower g/m² are often more breathable and perfect for milder weather conditions.
