Great but lost the pocket

This shirt is a great base layer or outer layer for cold days. Keeps me warm on short and long trail runs without overheating, looks sharp, and zips down far enough to show off my chest hair... erm... I mean keep me ventilated.
Would be five stars, but after about ten runs and washes, the pocket on the front started to peel up, and after another few washes, it was loose enough that I could easily pull it off with my fingers. It was held on with some sort of adhesive? looks like I might be able to iron it back down, but until I get around to it, I've got a great base layer that I wish had a pocket in it.
Excellent, stylish, midlayer

Paired with a base layer and a down jacket, I was comfortable into the teens. The material is excellent for wicking away moisture and is good enough to withstand temperatures in the 50's with just a base layer and no shell. I also was very comfortable in -10 with a base layer, Columbia fleece, and Patagonia down sweater jacket. As for fit and looks, I love this piece. I highly recommend it.
Versitile!

The composite zip is lightweight, but insular. Great for all weather, very easy to move in, breathable and adjustable for lots of different uses. Spent a week wearing it skiing and running in the cold mountains.
Also, the fit is true to size (got a L and I am 6', 170 lbs).
Wicks great

This shirt is really nice. It's comfortable against the skin, and the long zip is nice for when you need to vent a bit extra.
Great shirt!

This baselayer is perfect to wear up skiing! The medium fits me perfectly at 5'11, 160 lbs. Definitely worth picking up at this price. Stitching and quality are awesome. I still have my similar model from last year that I use all the time, and the durability is incredible after all I've put it through!

Can't say enough good things about this shirt. Great quality and fit. It is perfect for running on cooler days. It keeps you warm and still allows you to breath.

This is in comparison to the Stoic Large Microlith soft shell. Still bought the large, it's a little smaller as you can see but I love the way it feels and fits. Once again, I'm 6' 170.
And the size chart is located where???

Been using this at work patrolling for most of the winter, and it has held up great. It's a nice weight for a lot of temps, wicks, and dries fast.

This is one of the best shirts that I own. As always, stoic delivers.
The fit is perfect if you're looking for something slim - I'm 5'8'' and 150 lbs, and it fits ideally.
First and foremost, this shirt is warm. Its warm enough to keep me comfortable in 20 degrees F when I'm snowshoeing, hiking, or climbing.
Further, its water resistant. While this doesn't mean much when its raining, it shrugs off snow without any issues, so hiking through the woods without a shell is no problem.
Finally, the zip is perfect for thermoregulation, and the pocket is the perfect stash for my knife, matches, and map.
This is probably one of my favorite clothing articles, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

To thick

I did not like this layer, it was too thick and did not wick well. I could be ok for kayaking but then what is the pocket for? I it was scratchie on the inside even after a few washes.
View all contributions... Be patient, it might take a while.
