GoLite Wisp Wind Shirt - Long Sleeve (For Women)

So light and soft - easy to pack away for travel.

I read the previous reviews, most indicated to order a larger size than normal. I agree! I am 5'4" at 110 pounds and ordered a large which fits perfect. Thanks for the reviews, there quite helpful.

Takes up so little space and is so light I will take it everywhere

To ride in & casual wear in general.

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

Chest is a bit tight, neck is a bit loose.

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.

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.

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.

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.
