Reviewed by Northeast Runner from Reading, PA on Thursday, December 06, 2012I was looking for something to wear running when it's in the 30's that was NOT a jacket, so I tried this. I wear it with a long sleeve running shirt under it, and I am fine all the way into the low 30's/ high 20's. I love the sleeve length, and especially love the thumb holes. They keep the sleeves over my knuckles and also keep the shirt tucked into my gloves when I wear them. My only complaint is the overall length. Too short for my liking, b/c it can allow the cold in BUT I sometimes wear a hydration belt, and that keeps the shirt in place, so it's not a deal breaker. That is the reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 - everything else is great about it.

Reviewed by Ruth from Las Cruces, NM on Tuesday, December 04, 2012I use this shirt for golfing and wish it had pockets on both sides. The pockets on the left is very small.

Reviewed by Tri Girl from Marion, IA on Tuesday, November 27, 2012This fits true to size (I usually wear a woman's large/size 12) and is extremely comfortable. I've worn it as a top layer in upper 40's to 50's, and base layer for cooler runs. I bought this one in orange, which I like for the outdoor visibility.

Reviewed by Catwoman from Spokane, WA on Tuesday, November 20, 2012This is a nice top...The thumb holes are a nice touch however, if you have longer arms, you won't be able to take advantage of them without the sleeves being pulled down in a somewhat uncomortable way (and that is true for me for any brand: I have these problem with Saucone, Khul etc). The turtle neck fit snuggly. Nice item

Reviewed by Editrix from Boston, Mass. on Friday, November 16, 2012This is my favorite running shirt, either on its own or layered over a short- or long-sleeved T. It's soft, lightweight, flattering, and super-comfortable. It's extremely well-made and versatile for cool to downright frosty temps.

Reviewed by Virg from Colorado on Wednesday, November 14, 2012Ordered the large and was pleased: so often things are too tight and as size 8-10 it discourages me when the "large" is too small! I am 5'3" and 130 and this fit fine. Taller folk might find it short but for me the longer coverage was perfect for a windy autumn run!

Reviewed by Bargain Hunter from Alpharetta GA on Thursday, November 08, 2012I was surprised small fitted me well. I have narrow shoulders and usually like petite medium. I donot like very long sleves so only buy petite clothing. I am 5ft 1 inch and weigh 115-117lbs. I use this with my Brooks Equilibrium shirt bought at stp also.Love tropic/carrot color too.

Reviewed by Doodles from Wilmington, DE on Wednesday, November 07, 2012I really love this shirt. It is lightweight, comfortable, can fit over long sleeve shirt for layering or be worn alone. I bought two and will likely buy a few more. I am 5'7" and I got a medium and it fits very well (I don't like tight clothes). The sleeves are a good length. The thumb hole is comfy though a bit of extra padding or cushion would be helpful. I recommended this to a friend already!
