4.5 stars if I could

I am really loving this shirt, despite the fact that a white bra underneath would definitely show up a little under the Glacier/Smoke color (as you can see in the picture I've already posted on here), but not all that much...I mean, it's not quite enough to make it uncomfortably see-through, but I tend to wear a tank top or something under it if I'm heading out to run errands. Compared to the Rose/Smoke Backcountry Merino Zip Tee, it definitely seems like a thinner material, although both shirts say they are midweight.

As a baselayer, it's practically perfect. The fit is great, you can wash it normally and can even put it in the drier (which doesn't shrink it at all!). It doesn't hold smell and it's fairly thing but keeps me so, so perfectly warm...I never overheat in this shirt.

My only real complaint is that the thumb holes are slightly too small. The thumb hole size is perfect on the Backcountry Merino Zip Tee so I'm not really sure what happened here with this one.
