There are already 26 reviews of this pullover, so you probably don't need another. Regardless, I'm reviewing it anyway.
If you have experience of Backcountry.com own brand gear, then there is an excellent chance that you know how good most - if not all - of it is.
The Rime Pullover is on sale at $60 right now, and at that price it is an essential item of equipment. Wether it's a autumnal cycle warmer(Polartec material, made in Canada - great quality), layering up on a cold winter day with 6" of fresh, hiking in spring with a frost still in the air or just keeping you toasty in a drafty bar somewhere: This top is super useful.
The other benefit for me is how light and packable it is - not something it's advertised as being.
Size-wise: I am a 44" chest and a XL fits me well.
This is another winner from backcountry.com.
