little big

I think I wanted this in a small instead of medium, or maybe it's just the cut. I've been sleeping in this thing and today I took it out for a 1.5mi walk to the grocery store in 10 degree weather (low-wind) with a short-sleeved baselayer underneath and wearing backcountry's tights beneath a pair of jeans. Walking at fast-backpacking speed, I was very comfortable and only felt a bit chilly when waiting for the traffic light to change. At the cafe, it was quite warm, and I was wishing I hadn't worn the tech-tee underneath. But I was fine with keeping it on with sleeves rolled up and zip down.

Tonight I took it to my climbing gym and bouldered with it, again with the tech-tee underneath. It was okay for a few routes, but I had to take it off after multiple attempts.

Overall, I think it would make a great cool-weather bouldering or single-pitch pull-over by itself with no baselayer. That is, of course, if it's not raining or very windy, which would be problematic because layering anything on top of this and trying to climb will surely lead to massive overheating.

It's also very comfortable and great for lounging around in. Like I said, I've been using it as my pajamas the past few nights.

Last bit: wrist-length is great - nice and long. But geez, add thump-loops! I might get some tailored.
