I Rode down the Oregon coast in 40's degrees weather on my motorcycle. I was truly amazed at how warm This product kept me. I wear it all the time in the Minnesota winters. Walking, camping, hiking, casual wear. It washes great. Dries Quickly. Very easy care. This is one of my favorites from REI.

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

I work at a medical clinic in Minnesota. The handicap doors open up and ...... they finally close. When it's 10 below the front desk, where I work, is COLD. With this top I never get cold. This is a great piece of clothing.

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

My husband loves his Power Stretch 1/2 zip so much, he convinced me to buy one. I'm glad I did although I have a few improvements that could be made to the women's version:
If you're petite, the small will probably be too big for you. They need an X SMALL offered in this!! I'm 5'4", 115, and while comfortable, I'd personally like it to fit a little snugger. Currently, I have ample room for a base layer but because it's stretchy, I would even if it fit tighter. If a fabric isn't close against your skin, it just allows for cold air to get in which this does on me.
I'd also like to see it a touch more feminine styling. I not a girly girl but the men's I think is much better looking style wise.
That said, I love that the zipper is not completely flush with the top of the neckline - no chaffing by a zipper when zipped fully.
Very warm with fleece on the inside and smooth on the outside. I can tell I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it but with the above improvements, it'd be perfect!

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

This is the best top I have found for cold-weather running. It is so soft and cozy, and the mp3 pocket is great. It is the first mp3 pocket that I have found to be worth using, as it is the perfect size, doesn't bounce around, and doesn't pull on my headphones. It is perfect with a thin baselayer in anything above 30 degrees. I want to buy another one just to wear around, because it is so cozy!

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

I love this shirt so much. With it's fleece liner it does a great job of blocking the wind and keeping me warm. I even just bought one for a friend who competes in sports professionally and needed something light and warm. The shirt is soft like butter. I love the blue one! It has to be one of my best purchases ever.

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

This is such a great product that I bought my mom, dad, and sisters a top and a bottom for xmas. I plan to use it snowboarding, running,camping, hiking, as a light jacket, warming up, layering, and lounging. The only con on the site is the periwinkle in the photo looks more like blue. Actual product is more of a purple-blue. Also, I'm not sure how durable it is, I haven't owned it long enough.

Wore as a top layer in 15 degree temps with snow and strong winds and wasn't even chilled.

Looks great and fits beautifully!

This is a great addition to any winter running wardrobe.

Comments about REI Power Stretch Half-Zip Top - Women's:

I have a long torso and find it very hard to find women's fleeces that fit. Not so with this one. It's long enough in both the sleeves and torso, and is super warm and comfy. It's stretchy so it doesn't bind anywhere. I've been using it mainly to walk the dog at 6 a.m. and it's warm enough and water resistant enough for snow and mist. The original intent was for cold weather jogging and hiking, and I think it will be perfect for that.

My only issue is that the color on the website (periwinkle) looks blue, but the actual color is a definite purple. Not bad, but not what I was expecting.
