I live in this...

I have 2 R1's and now the R1 hoody, and I honestly rarely where anything else. Whether worn alone or with an ultra-light layer underneath, I can usually wear them for 3 or 4 days before they even start to smell like they need to be washed, and that includes morning runs in these babies. I've abused all these things rock-climbing and ice-climbing, and so far no signs of wear or pilling. My only complaint is that since they don't transfer large amounts of moisture as efficiently as wool, if you overload the wicking capabilities of the fabric, you get that clammy feeling. But since they dry about 100x faster than my icebreaker wool, it's not really a big deal.

I found that they fit true to size (if a bit more of a slim, performance-fit than the original R1 - the "alpine cut" effect). I'm 6 ft, 148 lbs and I fit perfectly into a medium. So yeah, buy 1 of these...or 5...and I can promise you'll end up disregarding the rest of your wardrobe.
