Good shirt for the cooler days...

By Scott Sullivan Ranked #405 - Men's Performance Shirts - Long Sleeve December 4, 2008

I got this shirt a few weeks ago and it has become a new favorite of mine for lounging around in... but because I didn't buy it for that purpose, I took it out on a couple evenings for some runs. Granted, I'm not a great runner, but I sure did look good while I was slugging out my miles. The fit is great, athletic but not body hugging. The fleece lining was appropriately described by "Rocky Mountain Goat" in that it is a bit more than a micro-fleece and definitely keeps you warm. My only peeve with this shirt so far is that across the chest (on the inside of the shirt), it has more of a mesh-type backing than just the plain fleece and can begin to rub you raw a bit as you begin to sweat (if you're wearing it without something underneath). Here's the rub (pardon the pun), the shirt is so warm that you'd probably have to be out jogging in freezing temps to be able to tolerate the warmth of this and another shirt underneath. However, stick a couple Band-Aids on your man-mammories before you hit the trails and you'll never be happier! On a more positive note, the 1/4 zip is almost a 1/2 zip... opens up wide to dump the heat, and if that doesn't keep you cool, the shirt seems to squeegee the sweat right off of you! I'm 6'0" and 170lbs, and the Large was a great fit... and with the Monkey Thumbs, all of you guys with those goofy-long arms (like mine) will have nothing to worry about in the sleeve lenght department. Time to quit reading reviews... buy this shirt and hit the trails... you'll love it.
