Base or Solo Shirt

Ranked #35 - Women's Performance Shirts - Long Sleeve
November 22, 2009
Bought the Rose/Smoke coloring in a Small for my wife who wears Small in Icebreaker but has gone boarderline XS in larger fitting clothing like REI or Columbia. She's probably 5'6" 120. The shirt is fitted like a baselayer very close to skin, but the coloring (Rose) doesn't allow the bra color to show through so the shirt works as a solo layer in warmer environments as well. The shirt is so soft that at first my wife didn't believe me that it was merino! Sleeves were perfect length to use the thumb holes without being too long.
**Edited the stats (hopefully I don't get in trouble with the lady.)
