Buy it, you won't regret it.

This is a very useable and incredibly flexible garment. It is minimalist with no extra pockets or zippers, and that's a good thing.

When the barometer and thermometer plunge a few degrees and I feel way too cold. This is a pretty good piece. Keeps me from shivering. Sun suddenly comes out and I should be sweating? I'm fine and feel really comfortable. None of that sweaty "prickly" heat buildup or sweat problem.

I can say I've already tested it in most conditions other than mountain climbing:

Downside? Don't use it in cool 5C weather without a midlayer underneath. I tried it with an extremely light silk base layer and it felt really, really cold. That was with a stiff breeze.

Upside: incredible moisture management. I got caught outside and walked 2 kilometers in a 7C drizzle and sometimes downpour with a light breeze. Had just a polyester lightweight shirt on underneath. No problems. You will feel completely dry and fairly warm. I should have layered more, with the silk undershirt.

But really. This is where this garment shines. You use it as a shirt, windbreaker or midlayer, and of course, as an outer shell.

You won't sweat as much with it. You won't feel cold when conditions are changing. You won't feel the prickly itchy heat when the sun suddenly comes out.

It's a home run. Like my headline says. Buy it and it will prove itself to you over and over.
