Light as a feather and smooth as butter, the Mountain Hardwear Women's Butter Zippity wicks moisture and babies your skin while you cover ground on a hiking trip. This base layer sees you from warm-weather backpacking trips to backcountry ski tours. Once you treat yourself to the super soft, moisture-wicking fabric and flat-lock seams this long-sleeve top offers, you'll never go back. Mountain Hardwear’s Thumbholes mean you can throw on a rain or ski jacket without bunching, and a slim fit gives you tons of après-ski appeal.
I bought my first Mountain Hardware butter fleece zip neck top about 4 yrs ago and it is still my favorite top for backpacking. Since then I have gotten four others in different colors and styles. They are extremely comfortable and look and fit great. Very light for the warmth you get. My original one has gone thru many washings and still looks great. The zip neck is nice for either casual wear or active wear. Picture is the older top but is exactly the same as the new one except for color.
I've been lugging heavier synthetic cool-weather running shirts into the backcountry as a base layer for sleeping and sitting in camp after sunset. This shirt looks like a fantastic lightweight alternative with similar features. I'm wondering, though, will it be long enough through the body? So many stretchy shirts end up being short-waisted on me. I'm 5'8" and 125# and a 34B. I guess I have a long torso or something. I have a great Sugoi running shirt that fits so well, but at 10 oz, it needs to stay at home on my next long trip. Can anyone speak to the cut of this shirt length-wise?
I'm 5'7 128lbs with a long torso and I absolutely LOVE these shirts, I now have 3. The medium is what I wear and maybe most women could get away with a small but I weight lift and have a lot of muscle in my shoulders and lats so frequently shirts that fit my torso are too tight in the armpits. I don't know if the small is shorter in the torso. Super comfortable!

This is my favorite shirt for running in the winter. It's also my go-to layer for skiing. It transitions well from the slopes to apres-ski. It is super soft and the thumb holes keep it in place. I am 5'2" and 120# and the small fits right...not too tight, but form-fitting. I now have this shirt in 3 colors b/c I seem to wear them all the time.
This shirt is great for hiking, running, and lounging. I went on a hike where the climate changed from super sunny to somewhat cold and all I had to do was roll up and down the sleeves and I was set. I like the thumb holes too for running in somewhat cold conditions. Super soft, one of my faves.
I looked at the size chart for the Butter Zippity and I fit the XS size. I'm concerned that it may be too tight based on the reviews. Is anyone else my size that could give me a better idea on what size to buy? I'm 5'6" and 113.
Depending on how you will be wearing it I would get either a small or X-small. This is one of the most stretchy garments we have in our line so I would probably err to the smaller size. Due to the stretch I could fit in an X small!! Probably wouldn't but still. You get the point. Hope this helps!
Super stretchy, soft, and supple. Wicks moisture away well. I'm definitely getting another one. I'm 5'6" and 125lbs and a small fits well- not too tight, and tailored so it's not baggy around the waist.
You could wear this Butter Zippity as a baselayer in those temperatures in conjunction with other outerwear. As a baselayer the butter top does a great job of wicking and it is very stretchy. Hope this info helps.
This shirt could not better named, cause that's how it feels... like butter! I have 2 of these babies, and could probably use a 3rd or 4th or.... I would wear this everyday if I could. Love the thumb holes. Great feminine fit, super soft and stretchy and washes great. It's a tad short in the torso though, but I pretty much always wear it with a tank top underneath since I mostly use it for runs or walks on brisk days or as an overshirt when lounging about. It also makes a great yoga top. Can't wait to take it camping! Sometimes right at the bottom of the inside zipper seam is a bit uncomfortable on my chest when I am wearing a lower cut cami, but when wearing a regular tank or tee underneath problem solved. A size small fits me great, I'm 5'7" 125 lbs. Bottom line, buy this shirt, and before you know it you'll own every color.
This shrit has quickly become my favorite go-to shirt for running this winter. Super soft, wicks well, has ventilation with the zippered neck, and the thumb holes are well placed. I love having some material on my hands during cold weather so I don't usually need to bring gloves with me. It's an all-round great piece of gear.
I bought one shirt and within a week I now own 3 BECAUSE they are my favorite exercise shirt and I don't want to wear the others anymore. I'm spoiled by the soft, comfortable, great wicking, the thumb hole . . . As far as fit, I am 5'7 around 128lbs but big shoulders from weight lifting. So for me, in order to fit comfortably under my armpits, I wear a medium. Most women my size could probably go with a small, unless you too lift weights and have bigger shoulders and lats.
wow...i love this shirt....their is one problem....i don't want to take it off!!!...it is so comfortable. the sleeves are perfect....long!!! i have long arms so really am happy when the sleeves actually fit me....plus i love the the thumb holes in the cuff of sleeve....a perfect shirt for all activites...i might have to get another color....p
Beautifully soft, stretchy material that wicks better than most. The zipper pocket on the body and the thumb grips create bulges that affect the fit, but those are small gripes. I bought one for everyone on my list this Christmas.
