Great base layer....

By Ranked #163 - Men's Shirts November 2, 2009

This base layer performs as expected from The North Face. It kept me dry, even after sweating my ass off climbing 3 multi-pitch routes over 8 hours. It breathes incredibly well and is very comfortable. However, it's claim about fighting off odors with the "microbial fighting carbon bamboo thingymagig" didn't exactly hold up to it's end of the bargain. It was definitely funky at the end of the day. I wasn't exactly expecting to smell like I just hopped out of the shower after climbing all day, but after a good test, this functionality failed. Overall a good baselayer that has taken a lot of abuse.
