I am very happy with the value of my purchase. The pullover is warm and light. Great styling. Exceeded my expectations from the moment I opened the box.

light and breathable and still keeps you warm in the cold morning bike rides with only a t-shirt underneath. I'm 5'10" and 190lbs, and the large fits me kinda loose. enough to keep a t-shirt on under with out bunching.

I've got a 14 year old El Cap shirt that is my favorite shirt of all time. Seriously, it doesn't get much better. To this day, I regret not buying more when I had the chance. I wear it all the time (it still looks close to new) and I still get compliments on it. I recently managed to get some kind of grease like stain on it that I can't get out, so I needed to get a replacement for in town use.

I had picked up some of the vaporwick short sleeve polos this summer, but wasn't impressed. They were very comfortable, but the fabric wasn't at all durable, snagging easily on zippers in the wash. Keep it far away from Velcro! Two of three have already been taken off in town duty because they don't look good anymore.

Anyway, I didn't have high expectations for the vaporwick el cap, but it is pretty sweet. The cardinal red is very close to that of my old el cap. The cut is a bit different; it now has arm gussets. This seems like an modest improvement. Gone is the embroidered same color TNF logo, repaced by some kind of contrasting vinyl like decal. This wasn't an improvement; it looks cheap in comparison. The collar isn't a true polo like mine. I wish a traditional polo collar was available, but this will have to make do.

Overall the fabric is very much like the pique knit of my old favorite. It looks good and feels durable. I've worn it twice in the few weeks I've had it, and I'm diggin it. I'd rate it 4 1/2 stars for losing the embroidery and the lack of a true polo collar. I'd go 5 if these were corrected. It's not quite as good as the original, but is pretty close. I'll likely be getting a few more.

This pullover can do it all. Great on its own or used as a layering piece. Also great for cool weather runs or bikes as well as looking good enough to wear out on the town. Overall a great shirt. Only one complaint... the sleazes could be a bit longer!

I really like this pullover. Unlike many lightweight fleeces, it is not bulky at all. If you are looking for a lightweight fleece, then you will probably want a different shirt. This is more like a woven/layered cotton shirt. It is a pique finish like a polo shirt. I wear it around town and have also used it as a base layer on my last ski trip. It is a good shirt for a variety of applications. The sleeves were long enough in my opinion--I got the xl and have 34 inch sleeves on my dress shirts and it fit just fine. The collar can be laid down like a traditional collar or you can pop it (if you are into that).
