Comments about REI Silk Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt - Men's:
These silk undergarments are very thin but still provide surprising warmth without overheating. I find them useful under a regular shirt on days when it's just a tad cooler than I'd like. They are even good to wear at the office and/or under dress clothes. The cost seems high for such a thin material (it is silk after all), but it will still be a good value if it holds up over time.
Service and delivery comments:
I ordered online and picked up at my local retail store. REI's ship-to-store is great if there's a store near you.

Comments about REI Silk Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt - Men's:
This product should be described as sheer, and then as being black. When I put this on it looked liked I had my wife's panty hose on my arms and torso. I could see the hairs on my arm clearly. This would make it a perfect set of long underwear or first layer, which the box it came in labeled it as. Since I was looking for a shirt I could wear by itself, I will be returning this. I am not THAT confident in showing off my chest and abs. If I was looking to layer up fora winter hike, this would be a good start. If I was looking for something to wear while running everyday out and about stuff, this is not it.

Light weight but the weight is not mentioned in the description. On my scale: 3.7 oz, or 104 grams. Great product and very comfortable. dries quickly for the next day's adventure!

Comments about REI Silk Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt - Men's:
This shirt seems thinner than the one I got about 15 years ago, therefore it probably won't be as warm & won't last as long. It is very sheer.
I'm not going to return it because I've read reviews at another merchant which also made the same comments, so I don't know if there is an alternative. Maybe REI will work with the suppliers to find a more substantial version that is still affordable.
Silk is an excellent first layer. It is comfortably soft, and gives a lot of warmth for such a thin garment. Though I almost always hand wash it, it dries quickly. When camping you could wash it in the morning and it would be dry enough to wear before the sun gets low & the temperature drops. Super comfy in the sleeping bag at night.
I avoid petroleum based fabrics that are staticy & melt on your skin in a fire. They say that these silk threads of bug juice hold warmth when wet, as does sheep fur. I know it breathes & handles sweat well.
I carry silk long underwear in my day pack routinely in the winter because it folds up so small & can save your comfort & life if the weather goes bad. The shirt is more of a backpacking item for me. I think they've been selling these at REI for a long time, I can't believe I'm the first one to write a review.
