I REALLY wanted to like this shirt (still kinda do), but...

Reasons to dislike this shirt:
1. If you're over 5'7" tall, this shirt will be to short. I am 5'9" and the thing barely makes it to the top of my pants (I bought an XXL).
2. It barely survives the washer. I've only had this about a month, washed it in cold water, only ever hung it up to dry, and one of the seams is already coming apart.

Reasons to like this shirt:
1. It is super comfortable...I'm wearing it right now!
2. It'll keep you warm on a cool morning run (well, except for your belly button).
3. The combination of wool, Polartec and breathable material is genius.

Bottomline:
I am conflicted. This is a decent product, if Backcountry could only get the torso length issues sorted out (I believe I am not the only one to note this problem). Additionally, I am a bit let down on the stitching which is starting to fail after only a month in my possession (I can assure you, I didn't wear it on anything tougher than a light run one morning, 6 hours of driving one day, and miscellaneous chores around the house). I really like the feel of it actually like the way it looks on me (as long as you disregard the length).

DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS! Buy it on Steep and Cheap or wait for the next generation.

Cheers!
