Icebreaker GT150 Velocity 1/4-Zip Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

5 Star Rating

Great for cool to hot (not scorching) weather

By Ranked #211 - Men's Performance Shirts - Long Sleeve September 18, 2010

Great top to wear all day if you expect temps ranging from 60 to 85+. I have the all black version and it was just fine in direct sunlight at 87 degrees. The important bits - it breathes very well, particularly in the waffled sweat zones and keeps you from feeling hot and damp. With a light breeze, it cools fantastically. At the cooler end of the scale, I had expected the fantastic breathing ability to work against it, but, strangely, it didn't - it stays comfortably warm. If you're going to be doing more than a casual walk, I would expect that this top would be comfortable on its own at even lower temps.

Fit and finish - buy your normal size if you want it to be more form-fitting. Size up if you want it a little more casual fit (I'm 6', 205lbs - XXL is a casual, not sloppy, fit for me). Fabric is soft, very slightly scaly, but on the balance is far more comfy than cotton. Logos and zipper are reflective.
