Goldilocks Layer

This is my favorite grid fleece! Its temperature regulation is unreal. It is also very soft, comfortable, and it doesn't stink. I generally run hot, but I can wear this up to about 60 degrees. It is not quite breathable enough for running, but it works great for everything else. I use it daily because it is so comfortable and also for hiking, backpacking, and ski touring. I have used other grid fleeces before, and this one is the absolute best at temperature regulation for me.

Best wicking layer on the market

So I am 5'10" and 150 and the Men's Med fit perfectly. Snug with long body and arms with thumbholes. Weighs in at 11 1/2 oz and is very comfortable to wear. Have used this x-c skiing and hiking and it has a wide range of temperature comfort and wicks really, really well, also dries quickly from sweat. Looks good too!! This my #1 outdoor insulative layer.

I would buy the product again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what I was looking for, and the chest pocket holds my cell phone.

Love it!

I use it as a base layer for everything Alaska and usually without a mid. Looks nice enough to go out in and functional for everything from hiking to ski touring and beyond! The cut is different than the original from a few years back and runs a little larger. I'm 6'1 205lb and the old XL fit perfect. This cut is a little big but still works great and is able to be tucked into ski pants/bibs easily.

I purchased two

I'm wearing it right now. It worked for the mountain, and it works as warm clothing inside, but still breathable. I purchased a medium & a large. I wanted the medium cause it was more form fitting, better for hikes for me, but the large is a little more comfortable indoors.

Vigor 1/4 zip -Great fit and function

Very happy with fit, comfort, style and function. The Vigor exceeded my expectations in all areas - love the grid insulation, lightweight (but warm) and how it fits (I'm usually in between a Small and Medium given my height and narrow build, but this is a good fit). I'm 6ft and 155lbs.

Bought men's for layering & was decently surprised.

Bought this for myself as the women's sizing fits a bit snug for the layering I wanted to do for skiing. This layer was PERFECT for having a layer or two underneath and allowing me to feel like the shoulders aren't too big. Really great mid layer that holds up well while touring.

Good pull over

I like the weight of the shirt. My only complaint is it the length. It is way too long.

Weird fit

I bought this as a mid layer for skiing and climbing. I have a couple similar hooded articles, but I wanted one without a hood. The fit is weird. I'm 5'10' 210 lb with a fairly broad upper body, and I got a large. The fit is super tight in the armpit/shoulder/tricep area. I'd say I have larger than average shoulders and lats, so this might not be the case for everyone, but large is typically fine for me in both Outdoor Research and other brands. I won't be able to wear this over T shirts because it will make the material bunch up in my armpits and shoulders, but I can wear it over tank tops or tight-fitting long sleeved baselayers. The shirt ends near the bottom of my butt. The length might be nice for staying tucked into my climbing harness and ski pants, but looks kinda bad for casual wear. The sleeves are also really long, are tight on my climber forearms, and baggy on my wrists. I'll have to roll up the sleeves to prevent them from getting in the way while climbing. Other than the fit issues, it seems nice. I get hot pretty easily so I like that it's lightweight, thin, and seems breathable. The microgrid fleece is soft, and the chest pocket is a nice feature. Thumb loops if you're into that sort of thing.

Nice piece of clothing

I am 6'4 190 and this fits slightly bigger than trim on me. Looks great though and performs well doing any activities.
