This is definitely a solid piece of cold weather layering. When zipped up, turns into a very warm turtle neck. Has the sleeve cutouts for your thumbs - signature feature of Kuhl long sleeved apparel. This will definitely be part of my casual evening apparel this February in Whistler with a soft-shell on top of it all. My first donning of this item made me feel a bit scratchy but that is a very minor gripe. If you are 6-3 & 230 with long torso the XL is a slimming and fitted look ... Doesn't look like you ordered too small.

This thing is just as cool as it is in pictures. Size is very form fitting. I am a medium in North Face gear and needed a large in this. Very light but merino wool so warmish with a base layer. So far its holding up well. I love it. Would recomend it for around town but doubt it would hold up to a serious thrashing. Perfect for chilly nights with a shell over it.

This is a good shirt if you want a lightweight layer. It is wool with the thickness of a cotton t-shirt, which was too thin for me. If you want a thicker shirt that is similar go with the Ibex Shak.
