The 1/2 zip is perfect for me as a second layer. The first layer is either a light weight short sleeve shirt or long sleeve. The ice breaker is the second. Love how it zips all the way up the neck and makes the windy days less windy. The next layer is a vest and the last is the outer layer. The best, this combination is warm and not bunchy..Bottom line, it looks good, feels good and not binding. I'm 6'4" tall about 215 lbs and the large works well.
Comfortable and very warm, but not as durable as I would like for a higher priced item. Started to tear and fall apart during second season of use. I'll go with something cheaper next time, as it's not worth it to spend so much and have an item break down so quickly.
Excellent base layer for cold conditions. I find it too warm if temps are above the thirties. Great moisture wicking. Great odor control, can wear it for a couple of runs between washing. I bought it in medium and the fit is accurate.
Great quality and keep from cold. But it irritates my skin a bit and feel itchy.
