Great buy, if you get it on sale

By Jay Simpson Ranked #639 - Men's Midweight Long Underwear - Tops August 5, 2009

This is a nicely made shirt. The fabric is high quality, and the workmanship is top notch. Two things, though:

I would never pay retail for it. I got it on SAC for a big discount, and I'll probably buy another one if they go on SAC again. But retail price is steep for what you're getting.

The other thing is that the collar seems totally unnecessary. If you like collars then definitely get this. If not, get the marmot midweight crew shirt. I believe it's the same material but it had no zip neck and no collar. This one can be worn as a base layer just fine, but it almost seems to work better if it's over another thin layer. The crew shirt would probably make a better base layer.

My rating is four stars, but it's a good four stars. The material feels good on the skin. I tried wearing it in 70 degree weather and it was almost uncomfortably warm.

Fit: I'm 5'11 or 6' and 165. The medium fits great. You probably have a bit of leeway either way on both height and weight. The fit is close but it's not spackled on like some of these shirts are.
