LOUD fabric, sleeves way too long By climbing Laura from Boulder, CO on 11/04/2009 Pros: Flattering, Great Color, Stylish Cons: Fabric rustles loudly Describe Yourself: Athletic Length: Feels true to length Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Very disappointing piece from GoLite, in my opinion. GoLite is a company that makes serious hiker gear, but no serious hiker would wear this. The fabric is annoyingly loud, rustling every time you move a muscle. The sleeves are also far too long. I am 5'7 and 140 lbs. The medium fit fine if I were to wear a base layer underneath, but the sleeves dangled to the tips of my fingers! Another reviewer mentioned that you can roll the sleeves up - yes you can, but then you expose the wicking lining. Who wants a waterproof jacket with rolled-up cuffs that will catch the rain and wick water up into the sleeves? On the plus side, it's a very pretty color. If you want a pullover with a sporty look that will protect you from light rain, say at an outdoor concert or walking around town, this piece is probably okay. I sent it back.
By hikerchick from Sequim, WA on 03/22/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Flattering, Great Color, Stylish, Versatile, Washes Well Best Uses: Casual Wear, Wear To Work Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this for hiking but have worn it to work and to a concert since it's so classy looking. It runs small; however since I'm between sizes the large size works well for me. It's a little difficult to pull over my head and feels tight then, but once it's on it fits nicely and hangs beautifully. The sleeves are long but can easily be folded up to any length. I love this turtleneck!
By out in all weather from VA on 12/31/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Flattering, Great Color, High Quality, Stylish, Versatile Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Career, Casual, Eclectic Length: Feels true to length Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This shirt is a little tight across the bust but other than that fits fine. The arms are nice and long which is great for riding a bike in the rain. The fabric is a little tiny bit stiff due to being waterproof but very lightweight in feel. It is a little hard to pull off over your head though. I think it will work great for rain wear in the spring. Not enough room for anything under it for warmth to use in the winter. Not sure yet if it breathes as it is too cold for it now.

By agiledoglover from RI on 04/15/2008 Pros: Flattering, High Quality, Stylish, Versatile Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Chest is a bit tight, but overall fit is good. I haven't yet had a chance to try this garment as intended but expect it will perform well. I will report back soon.
great piece of gear, runs small By Climbing Laura from Oakland CA on 04/10/2008 Describe Yourself: Outdoorsy, Practical Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This looks like a great piece of lightweight gear, and I'm always happy with GoLite quality. However, the sizing runs very small. I am a size 6 with a medium frame and I could barely get the small over my shoulders. Go at least one size up, two if you're borderline. Fabric has a great vivid color, not shiny, rustles slightly but doesn't have a plasticy feel.
Great fabric, nice styling By Playzalot from Mentor, Ohio on 04/10/2008 Pros: Flattering, High Quality, Stylish, Versatile Best Uses: Comfort-Oriented, Hiking, On The Weekend, To Work Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual, Eclectic, Outdoorsy Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This fabric is unusual - clearly, it's water repellant, but it's a finer weight than most waterproof fabric. Very silky, with a peached finish, this drapes nicely. Also, the grape is a nice shade of purple.
This manufacturer is new to me, and seems to run small. I had to return my first order and order a size up - I would go up 2 sizes, if they were offered, since this would be a nice layering piece.
