I took a chance on this top based on the rave reviews it received and must agree that it is the best! I used it as a base layer for four days of X-country and downhill skiing in single digit temps and not once did I feel sweaty or cold. Particularly when X-country skiing, when I shed my jacket, I felt perfectly comfortable w just this sweater. It is soft, it launders nicely (did not use the dryer, though) and it is stylish.

"Everything looks so happy!" exclaimed my son when he first tried these on --and the amber lenses do lend a cheerful hue to otherwise overcast snowy days. He had never worn goggles before and was not enthused about the idea of more equipment, however these goggles are so comfortable and fog-free that he literally forgot he had them on, and was especially grateful to have them when he went skiing during moderately heavy snowfall.

With some trepidation, I purchased this top for my picky 13-year-old daughter who would rather freeze than wear a sweater she deems not to be stylish. Well, not only did she love this top's fit (shapely, not baggy), but also raved about how soft it felt against her skin and how comfortable she felt temperature-wise (not a "sweaty" sweater, as she put it). Suffice it to say that she wore it for four days straight of skiing and snowboarding. Aside from that, the top appears to launder well though I hang it to dry.

Comfortable top and the reversible feature is nice. The way the garment is constructed, however, makes for a bit of a jumble when it comes out of the wash and can also be vexing when trying to figure out how to put it on --which strap goes where, how the hem should go-- while attempting to dash out the door for a class.

I just bought these boots and was shocked to find out that the sizing chart does not accurately reflect the actual sizing of the boots. For example, the label on the box states that a size 38 corresponds to a US women's 6.5!! I'm a US 7.5 and could not even dream of getting my foot into the 38s. Otherwise, the boots seem pretty standard for the job --will indeed find out once I get the right size
