By Ranked #246 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops October 21, 2009

I'm 5'5 140lbs, small or medium? How warm is this? It says it's a lightweight but is it more of a midweight layer. I'm looking to use it for fall/winter runs in 30 - 40 degrees w/o a jacket, will this do or is it too light? How does this compare to the Icebreaker 260 in terms of warmth?

unfortunately your height and weight does little to help us suggest a size... see the size chart, measure your actual chest, and you should be able to choose. weight, its lighter and softer than the icebreaker 260. winter runs in 40 degree, no wind, should be good on its own, but a winter run, 30 degrees, no sun, and windy..... you need a soft shell that breathes, but cuts some wind.
