The North Face Impulse 1/4-Zip Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

I could wear it every day!

By Ranked #810 - Men's Shirts September 23, 2009

My favorite running/hiking/backpacking shirt ever. I have 3 of the 2008 version, and I grab them whenever the temp dips below 65. I'm 5'10" 160lbs, medium shoulders and lean torso, and the medium is spot-on in every dimension. The collar is high enough to keep out unwanted winds, but low enough that it doesn't rub on the neck when moving quickly. The 1/4 zip is more like a 2/5 zip, which is really handy when you need to cool down in a hurry. There isn't any pesky shoulder stitching, which makes it "pack friendly". And the thumb holes are key on those exceptionally brisk or wet days to keeping your hands from numbing up. Perfect shirt!
