Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Sweater - Women's - 2006 BCS

This is a GREAT sweater! I have a few of them. They wash well, look good, and keep you extra warm. I'm 5'3", somewhere around 120 lbs (don't own a scale, so I don't know for sure) and usually wear a medium. I have both a medium and small. The small fits perfect, the medium is a wee bit big. I wear a shirt under it because I'm not into being itchy. Fits fine with the shirt in both sizes. Hope this helps!

Love my Sarafin!!!! It is very warm and very attractive. I am ordering another! It also washes great. I wash and lay it flat to dry and it looks great and becomes even softer! A must have for outdoor sports!!!!!!!

The Sarafin sweater is attractive and becoming......love it! It is also very warm......almost too warm to wear socially, so an attractive sports item. We may as well look great when hiking and skiing!

Love it! Loose enuf for a 'not a spring chicken' type - but still looks stylish. And it's warm!

I love this sweater - have it in two colors from last (2009) season. Looking at the 2010 colors now! I wear it for hiking, plenty warm for Tennessee winters, I seldom need a shell. I find it a touch itchy and always wear a thin t-shirt underneath (or heavier under layer, for warmth when outdoors). I also wear it often in the winter for work and casually, as it doesn't look like "gear". I find the cut very flattering and the material very cozy. Really, just a perfect item, to my taste.

My new favorite. Had to order another color. Good weight for SE Louisiana. Sleeves are long, but, hey turn up cuffs. Stylish enough to go to a casual office. Love, love, love.

This is a great sweater! I also have the cardigan, too. Found both items to fit like standard Mountain Hardwear clothes. Love the green color! Washes well, too!

it's not as warm as i expected, and it's rather short so i feel like i'm showing too much midriff when i wear it... not really what i want on cold days. or any day really... anyways, its definitely not a performance piece but it was cute enough for me to give it 3 stars.

I have 2 sisters and all of us now own one of these sweaters in brown, light blue, and purple. I really love this sweater. The sweater works well when layered. I find that it is a little short so wearing a complimentary shirt underneath to avoid a draft is needed. I love the thumb hole and my sister who I bought the brown sweater for loved the color and the warmth. Overall a good buy. The only complaint is the length if you have a longer torso. I get several compliments on my light blue sweater.

I agree w/ one of the other reviewers.. I like this alot but at times can be a little itchy so I wear a cami underneathe. I love the thumb holes on cold winter days!! Fits really well, great color

I love this sweater so much I bought a second one!!! It warm and comfy and cute!! I'm tall and have trouble finding sweaters that fit--as in aren't too bulky while the sleeves being long enough and this totally fits the bill!! LOVE IT!!!

Good sweater, warm and comfy (alight slightly itchy at first, but that's to be expected), the thumbholes are great as always. I am 5'10, 165 lbs and got the large. The sleeve and overall shirt legnth were good but the fit was not as slim as I would have liked. It's definitely more of an athletic fit and there is some extra space in the upper arms.

Let 'er rip.This is a beautiful sweater and oh so yummy. The fit is true to size--I got a small (5'6"/123 lbs)and it fits well. I think it will be a great layer for skiing!

Looks great, feels soft. Can't wait for cooler weather!

I really love this sweater.It is warm and style. Probably I will order one more in another color later.

I got it in blue. I get compliments all the time. This sweater fits like a glove and is my favorite thing to slip on in the morning for my early classes. The thumb holes make it feel like you're wearing a blanket! I want to order every color. Great buy no doubt

The sweater is quite attractive and roomy, but I returned it due to extra long sleeves that I didn't want to turn cuffs on and the sweater is a bit scratchy.

I bought this sweater as a christmas gift and upon receiving it I had to try it on before gifting it...it was at that point that I rushed to my computer to order one for myself! I wear it often and I'll probably wear it out. I hope Mountain Hardwear keeps this one around so I can order more of them!

This is one of the best sweaters I have ever owned. It is warm, comfy, and it has a very flattering shape.

I ordered this sweater and loved it!! I ordered it in 2 more colors! This is an extremely versatile sweater that I have been able to wear to work, and it would also be right at home in the outdoors. It's rugged enough for outdoor activities. Pull the thumbholes down to convert to hand warmers. The wool is not itchy at all around your neck. You can fold it down, or keep it up for extra warmth. Mountain Hardwear has a winner with this sweater!

I've already bought two different colors, and it's only an extreme exercise in restraint that's preventing me from buying a third. i can wear it at work (it's that non-gear looking) or out on the weekend...it's very warm, but not so much so that it's oppressive for indoor wear. i probably won't use it as a technical layer, though...it seems a little bulky for that. i do think it runs a bit large (unlike most Mountain Hardwear gear)...i usually wear a small in most MH, but i got a better fit when i exchanged my small sarafin for an x-small. i have really sensitive skin and sometimes find this sweater a tad itchy, but it's nothing a light camisole doesn't solve. highly recommend the sarafin!

This sweater is awesome! It goes from the trail to the city streets with style and flair! And Mountain Hardware's slim fit gives tall girls the sleeve length they need! Kudos to backcountry.com and Mtn Hardware for putting out and carrying an awesome product!

The Mountain Hardware Sarafin Sweater is warmer than it looks. You can wear it to replace a jacket if the air is still, but it won't stop a breeze. It is soft but occasionally feels slightly itchy, so if you have sensitive skin you might want to wear it over a light bottom layer. I typically wear a 6-8 petite so the arms are a little long on me but would likely be perfect for anyone who wears regular sizes. The sizing on this sweater is slightly larger through the shoulders and mid-section than the Mountain Hardware Sarafin Cardigan, which is another great choice in this category.

A co-worker of mine wore this to work and luckily she didn't mind if I bought the exact same sweater (imitation is the greatest form of flattery). Stand-up collar gives this sweater a more finished look -- while still keeping it casual.

Fits true to size.

My wife loves this sweater. She has it in green. She says it feels so soft on the inside and is super comfy.

This sweater looks great at work & play, washes beautifully every time.Its warm and cozy not itchy. I now have one in all 4 colors. it has become my favorite top all around.Love the thumb holes they feel natural . Above all my husband says its sexy!

Bought my girlfriend one of these for Christmas and she loves it. The only way I got her to stop wearing it was to buy her another one.

Why even put this sweater back in the closet? I am just going to wear it again and again. It's my new seasonal favorite.
