TUCSON, ARIZONA USA /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Recognizing the singular nature of the Ol’ Faithful Midweight Pullover, INVESTMENT GRADE GEAR has awarded it ‘Made the Grade’ status. Fitting the mantra of Know It, Trust It, Keep It. TM, this unisex-sized piece was created by Give’r of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

According to INVESTMENT’s founder and lead evaluator Peter Reese, ‘Ol’ Faithful pushes through seasons, weather, and repeated laundering cycles to endure the adventurous life.‘ Of note in this selection are the Pullover’s wind-blocking and moisture-wicking attributes.

Echoes founder Bubba Albrecht, ‘The Ol’ Faithful Midweight Pullover was designed and tested for superior durability, functionality, and versatility as a piece of ultra-tough, ultra-cushy paradise you have to feel to believe. And we are honored to have “Made the Grade.’

In tandem with a relaxed fit with enough structure to keep from being sloppy, the hood profile, reliable zippers and plush interior make the $110 piece more a quiver-of-one than simply a source of weekend campfire cozy. This, in keeping with a focus on ‘gear built to wear in, not wear out.’
