GoLite Wisp Wind Shirt - Long Sleeve By Bean from Pittsburgh, PA on 04/18/2008 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Runs VERY small, Stylish, Washes Easily Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Hiking, Spring skiing Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Spring skiing should be great in this. But you REALLY should inventory XLs in more than one color, because, with only slight layering, a medium woman will need an XL
By agiledoglover from RI on 04/15/2008 Cons: Color is quite unusual Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Chest is a bit tight, neck is a bit loose.
By emily from andover, MA on 04/11/2008 Pros: great colors, Lightweight Cons: wide neck, long waist Best Uses: Camping, Hiking, Running, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The large fits quite long compared to other Go Lite Larges, such as the Echo Shell. Arms are also a bit long. This may be a pro for many as the length covers bottom but can interfere with high leg running.
By trailbabe from PA on 04/10/2008 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight Best Uses: Hiking, Running, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This will be a 3-season staple in my running wardrobe, for sunny, chilly days as a windbreaker and for damp days as a rain stopper. The only con is that the fabric is so light that the collar isn't heavy enough to lay flat when the zipper is open.
I might also use this for walks, but I'm not sure how well the fabric will hold up to the rubbing of backpack straps.
Very light, very soft - pearlized color By Playzalot from Mentor, Ohio on 04/10/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm new to GoLite products, but now 2 of 2 have run small. This is a good-looking jacket that is nice-looking enough to wear around town or on the trail. It is super-light and, just out of the package, seems a bit clingy (as if loaded with static). I'm going to brush it with a fabric-softener sheet to see if I can make the wet T-shirt look go away!
The images don't show the pearlized finish, which is attractive, but almost makes it too dressy for some of my uses. I'm in a job where I'm in and out of the office, so my intent was to wear it to the office, then out to jobsites. It's very slightly translucent, so a print top would show through a little.
I'm considering getting a second one, but am definitely going to size up one size.
Great deal, really useful By Climbing Laura from Oakland CA on 04/09/2008 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The GoLite Wisp shirt is a great layer for a windy day. It's so light and I love the bright colors. The fabric has a bit of shine to it - really eye-catching. The material is not stretchy or clingy, just light and airy. It has a drawcord at the waist and elastic at the sleeves to keep wind out. No drawcord at the neck, which is cut roomy. That's nice if you are wearing multiple zip-up layers that all bulk up at the neck. This shirt definitely won't choke you, even if you're wearing a pack. It is wind and rain resistant but not windproof nor rainproof, so I wouldn't have it as my only outer layer on an outdoor trip where there is a risk of hypothermia if I'm wet. One caution: grease stains really show on this fabric and are impossible to remove.
