Reviewed by Leaner from Albuquerque,NM on Friday, January 04, 2013I got a roomy fit for sports. Usually wear a vest over it for casual wear. Plenty long for coverage. Could have gotten a M for my 5'6" 124# frame but I got a L just to be safe. Color stays bright after washing. Nice change from the usual black. No weaknesses in this top that I can see.

Reviewed by Boris' Mom from San Leandro, CA on Thursday, December 20, 2012I use this are a top layer and a base layer depending on whether I am up for the day or not. It's EVERYTHING: ala the layer that you ZIP INTO at the beginning of the season and then weather the season in it until Spring thaw. That's a joke. This is California- the San Francisco Bay Area. In general, 65 in the house(day), 63(night) and 50's outside is typical, though it's been 30's at night for few weeks, for a few winters. I'm on the thin and somewhat muscular side, so I get cold easily. 5' 3 1/2" 115 #s//. Wool somehow is antimicrobial. Love that! I'm not THAT much of a funky sweaty person, but I got sick recently, and I really appreciated after being in bed the entire weekend; I had gotten dressed Friday morning, that by Monday afternoon when I was ready to somewhat function again, that, smell-wise, it was as if I'd just taken a couple hour nap! Works the same with wool socks, this brand, the Smart (wool) brand, all others are great, I'd imagine. I am VERY SENSITIVE TO SCENT, my own and others, like from dyes and things people wear....I have given items away/returned, when I couldn't launder out dryer sheet or old laundry detergent/body spray after 6 and 7 launderings. Other people could smell nothing. These are PRETTY DARN GOOD for being problem-free. I personally find the SEAMS and MATERIAL SCRATCHY and the SEAMS on the BULKY SIDE. I wear them inside out,so that seam problem is minimal when upright/on the go, the weave is softer that way also, more like a knit sensation. The seams are thin enough (to me) that I have cut off circulation in my arm by lying on them in the wrong position [remember I am thinner] GREAT stuff in general. Love the thickness, though it I had my druthers, I'd want thicker still. Remember, I wear as a top (layer).

Reviewed by skiboo from Burlington VT on Monday, December 03, 2012Sizing pretty accurate, I had another so knew which size to buy. Got a large, fits snug, but that is what I wanted. I am 5'4" and a size 8 ish, so FYI.

Reviewed by Josh from Gresham, OR on Thursday, November 22, 2012My wife loves it. The Large was too small for her 5'8" size 12 frame. XL is just right. perfect under a shell for snowboarding or worn alone for winter jogging. More comfortable than synthetics.

Reviewed by Jo from Stevensville, Mt on Thursday, November 01, 2012I used this top as a second layer over the ice breaker 200 at a Team Penning Clinic. Lots of sitting around then crazy activity. Other people were freezing then sweating. I was totally comfortable the whole time.

Reviewed by m from chicago on Wednesday, October 24, 2012I bought this to use as a layer when traveling in Russia and for nordic skiing. It will definitly do the trick. Nice fit, but can still wear a layer of silk under it. Arms are a bit short, so if you have long arms or wide shoulders - order up a size.
- Best Uses: Anytime, On The Mountain
- Cons: Short Arm Fit

Reviewed by Napa Nerd from Napa, CA on Tuesday, October 09, 2012This is a nice, sporty sweater. I bought the white one with the green and blue stripes. It is not one of my favorite sweaters but it is nice to have for layering or to throw on quickly during the weekends. It fits nicely but isn't very flattering, more sporty.
