So many good things to say about them. Just one note on the size is that they are a bit tight in the butt. I have no butt and I normally wear 35". 35" W clothing is tuff to find so I normally have to go up or down. Normally I go down. I got these in a 36 and was surprised how tight in the butt they were. It isn't a problem and they are very comfortable but if have a big butt you may want to go up one size.

I really like this shirt but wouldn't recommend it for layering if you expect to sweat. It works best as an outer layer or with a single outer layer. It doesn't dry very fast. It fits true to size with a stretchy cling.

This a awesome shirt. One thing though these tend to run smaller than other Patagonia merchandise. I find this true in all the Cap 3 stuff. So order a size up. Also, I give a HUGE thumbs down to the Cap 3 crew. I have two and both have had the neck seems come undone. The zips seem to have no problem.

Thus far have worn these on a couple of short day hikes with hiking boots. They are great! Very comfortable and breath well. I have many different brands of socks and by far perfer Smartwool's light and medium weight socks. They fit true, I wear a 13 and the XL fit perfect. While these have not pilled yet all of my other Smartwool socks have but not much.

This is a very well made, thought out bag for a day of hiking or skiing. I have yet to use it on the slopes but use it every weekend for hiking and long walks with the pooch. I use the external straps for the pooch's Chuck-it and the pockets for food, dog toys, folding water bowl and a 3L CamelBak bladder and still have room for a hardshell or fleece. It is very easy to wip around to access the pockest and the access angles just make sense. The torso straps are wide but don't get in the way even if you gut like me.

The warmth to weight ratio for this shirt is great. It is super warm and weighs almost nothing. In spite of my gut and 6'2" height the shirt is very long. In a size large it covers my butt and stays tucked. I liked it so much that I bought another one!

I have one of each of the Covert fleeces but this one is my favorite because of the hood and hand pockets. I like it so much I bought my girlfriend one too because she kept wearing mine. What's great about this fleece is how breathable it is as top layer and how warm it will keep you as a mid layer. I've had one over a year and it has no pilling.

Fit is slightly smaller than most Arc'tyrex so if you feel you are borderline go up a size. The color is true to on-line images.

Technically an awesome shirt but beware of the colors. They tend to be 80's neon-ish. I have a red and blue one and both are very bright. I guess they're helpful if you get lost and need something bright to wave but I only wear them under something else. As far as size they are perfect, they breath and wick moisture great.
