Does exactly what it should

By Ranked #1986 - Men's Shirts July 17, 2009

Fantastic top, regardless of the activity! Keeps me just warm enough when it's cool out, and manages warm temps better than any other base layer I've had. (Which is to say it beats 5 or 6 other big names.) Perfect for layering under my softshell. Fit is a touch on the snug side, as it should be for a wicking base layer. At 6'1", 185 lbs, a medium is just the right length in the arms and the torso, neck fits good, and it has a nice long zip for when I want some extra ventilation. Chest pocket is nice too. Really, the only place I don't like the fit is around my belly, which could use a bit of work anyway :) Does seem a bit likely to snag, but I haven't had that problem yet. All things considered, I'm not sure I'll ever buy anything else.
