Cute, warm sweater from a fine brand By Hikinggirl from Portland, Oregon on 10/02/2009 Pros: Great Color, Stylish, Versatile, Warm Describe Yourself: Classic Dresser Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This isn't like my hiking and mountaineering gear from Mountain Hardwear. Indeed, it isn't even much like its zip-style cousin sweater with the same name, also offered by Mountain Hardwear/STP. That said, it's a great sweater for kicking around town or taking on your next hike or trip to a stormy beach. The sweater fits fairly well, but the fabric doesn't feel like any other fabric blend I've ever worn. Kind of thin, but with good stretch and a trim profile. The cut isn't much like the zip-front cardigan (also called the Sarafin), and I was hoping for something that called attention to my waist a bit like the other Sarafin does. It also hits me at my widest point of my hips, but perhaps others with longer torsos won't have that problem :-). So, not perfect, but definitely a keeper. This garment is great for what it is: a pullover sweater in a fantastic color that will keep me toasty on drab, rainy days here in the PNW. The thumb holes (that's why the sleeves are as long as they are) are a neat nod to performance running gear. A solid purchase that probably keeps me looking more cute than vamp. I can live with that!

By Skywalker from Austin, TX on 07/29/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Great Color, Versatile, Warm Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Washes well; still soft after hanging to dry. I had the privilege of wearing this on 7 day trip to Alaska; it really kept me warm and dry. I really enjoyed the longer sleeve length; kept my hands warm. Sweater has a 'cut-off'/cropped type bottom;nice & loose. When it got too warm, I was able to easily stuff it in a backpack. Great item. Chica colour will be great for cooler Longhorn football games.
By Social services from IL on 07/25/2009 Pros: Great Color, Stylish, Warm Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Order a bigger size than normal. The medium fit okay, but you would need to put a tshirt under the wool sweater, which would make it too tight, and that doesn't even factor in washing it!
By Kaye from Phila, PA on 07/13/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Returned it immediately. My fault - I didn't read the product description as carefully as I should have. The sweater contains wool and to me it felt itchy, itchy, itchy. I don't remember how it fit, all I cared about was that it was itchy, itchy, itchy - but then again: I'm very sensitive to wool. Someone else may love the sweater.
By NW funky from Blacksburg, VA on 07/02/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Flattering, Great Color, Stylish Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Usually need a medium or large for Mtn Hardware to fit my bust, but this sweater has room for curves. It's fitted (but not tight) in a small and the sweater gets that sort of 'webbed' look under the arms when oversized. The sleeves are too long to wear without using the thumb holes, but perfect if you like that sort of fit. Ordered it in June, so it'll be a while until it's cold enought for me to wear and wash it. Looking forward to it -- very cute sweater.

It is very soft and like several other reviewers I found it to be itchy. I'll wear a thin shirt underneath. The purple sweater does have a bit of pink in the sleeve area...a heather look that doesn't show in the photo.
