Black Diamond

Basis Crew - Men's

Super soft, super warm

A nice thick crewneck for any outdoor activity. Used it before a climb and stayed nice and warm.

This has a great stretch to it. I feel complete mobility using it for any physical activity. Can see that they put some thought into it

Super Comfy

I like to dress comfortably and perhaps that goes back to my climbing days as well. This shirt fits the bill and checks all of the other boxes concerning an outdoor piece of kit. You can't really tell from the photo but there are 2 front handwarmer pockets. The description said that it was a pass-through; however, I did not find that to be the case. It is not a deal-breaker by any means and would/are going to purchase a second. It is very warm, fits into the climbing-style with fairly loose but not too baggy. I truly enjoy the shirt hands down.

Thick fabric; good color. Cotton is not very soft. I normally wear small, but I bought a medium and it feels a little tight.

The fabric is good -- soft and a little stretchy. It fits well in the chest and shoulders, but is too long for me, and I'm hoping it will shrink when washed. The red color is actually a reddish brown, not the red that the website shows.

Awesome Shirt / Sweatshirt Thing

I bought this thinking it was more of a sweatshirt, but it's sort of a hybrid shirt / sweatshirt. Thicker than your average long-sleeved t-shirt, but thinner than a sweatshirt. It doesn't really feel comfortable with a T shirt on underneath since the two fabrics kind of 'stick' together and don't totally sit right, but if you're wearing it as a T shirt it's awesome. The invisible "kangaroo" pockets are genius - great for warming up your hands between burns on a boulder. Def recommend it!

Nice Basic Addition

Nothing fancy here -- just a nice, basic, well-constructed, addition to the wardrobe. The black color works with well with other clothing. I love the close-to-invisible kangaroo pockets (I gather they're not on the women's version). Understated, classic -- fabric feels great.

Great Comfort and Feel

I bought couple weeks and love it. Fits well and very comfortable. I really like the side pockets. Going to order another color today!!!
