This versatile zip-up Vest is made from the luxurious and ultra-warm fiber, Merino Possum Silk. Possum Silk is a blend of 50% super-fine New Zealand Merino Wool, 40% Possum Fur, and 10% Silk. A totally natural fibre, bringing together the qualities of the three individual fibers to create ultra-soft, warmer than wool, lightweight garments.
The Zip Vest really has to be worn to be appreciated. It's ideal for anyone who feels the cold but doesn't want to carry the weight of a heavy sweater or coat. I have arthritis and have found the Merino Possum Silk ideal for my condition, keeping me toasty warm in the coldest of conditions.
The PossumSilk Womens Zip Vest is available in colors Cerise, Black, Forest and Red, and in sizes XS to 2XL. Here is how the sizes compare:
XS = NZ/UK 10 = US 8

By purchasing this garment you are also helping us rid our pristine native bush of the introduced Australian pest, the brush-tailed possum. This animal is quite different to the US opossum. The possum preys on our endangered native Kiwi, and destroys our native trees at an alarming rate. We must get rid of this pest before it wipes out our native species.
