I bought these with the hope of replacing my old OR Airfoil. Initially the glow in the dark palm was neat until pieces started showing up all over my room, truck, and random places during actual use outside. I figure within another month most of it will be gone... with only a month of ownership to date. The wind resistance is okay at best. Does not even remotely compare to the next-to-skin Gore Windstopper in the old Airfoil's. They are still better gloves after being five years of service and several half-baked patch attempts. I was hoping the grip pattern would also be comparable to the Airfoil. Again it was nowhere near close. The gloves are much bulkier with less dexterity.

I like the shirt really well. But a bit warm for anything active above 35 unless you are essentially sedentary. I like the thumbloops. The fit is a bit loss so for a tight fit go down a size. I am 5'11"-ish nearly 6' and about 165 so I am right on the borderline of large and medium depending on the manufacture. I went with a large but a medium would have been better for this one. However a large in the Quantum 220 zip fits great.

After wearing it continuous for nearly 2 weeks in a variety of climates during my tour of the west it was nice to walk into a store without people running away. The only thing it smelled like was campfire not polyester's rendition of sweat. And I asked an honest opinion from people I knew and they thought I just put the shirt on... I could not help but smile.

All of the niceties of wool without the itch. The price tag looks better from SAC if you can catch it there.
