Still great, but personally loved last year's version a lot better

Still a solid choice, but last year's version was a lot better. They are both long which is great for a base layer top so it is less likely to ride up, but this newer one is tighter in the hip/butt area which is not as functional for most women (hello people, women have hips!) so it tends to ride up a little anyway, despite the length. I have to try and stretch this one out a little before wearing it unlike the one I purchased last year which is still a perfect fit.

Last year's color choices were a lot better too, loved the charcoal one especially and do not like having such light colors in my base layers (this year's). It would have been nice to have one darker color option available. And normally I would be all over a green option, but that "guacamole" looks like vomit. Sorry guys!

To end on a high note, i still love the material and the weave they use. A nice flat smooth finish to this merino that is more like a jersey knit (but not as stretchy as cotton jersey) and good flat lock seems. And performance of the merino during activity is stellar.
