Sizing Notes

Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements. Some women's pants are available in petite and tall sizes. Typically petite sizes fit women 4'11" to 5'3". Regular sizes fit women 5'4" to 5'8". Tall sizes fit women 5'9" to 5'11".

PETITE: Generally, as compared to regular sizes, petite sizes are 2.5 inches shorter in inseam, 1 inch shorter in body length, 1.25 inches shorter in sleeve length and ¾ inch shorter in total rise.

TALL: tall sizes are 3 inches longer in inseam, 2 inches longer in body length, 2.5 inches longer in sleeve length and 1.25 inches longer in total rise.

Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Inseam is measured to the floor.

Soft, stretchy, excellent hood
The medium weight fabric feels dense, stretchy and cozy, and they got the hood right, scuba-style with the neck up to chin and close around the face, meaning no gaps and will fit well under layers or a helmet. Good job REI!

Not as thick as the men's version
I ordered a women's and a men's version of the Midnight Base Layer Zip Hoodie. Men's has a light fleece inner coating and the women's has nothing. Women's is thinner overall. Men's also has a textured fabric in the back whereas the women's is plain. I would hardly call the women's version "MIdweight". Disappointed.

Great mid layer!

I’m really happy with this mid layer! It’s not very thick (which is nice weight-wise) but surprisingly warm for the weight. I was looking for something that would be the right amount of warmth alone over a t-shirt for hiking in 50s to 60s degrees F, and it is! Fits great (XS, 5’4”, 125 lbs). The hood is fitted and keeps my ears nice and cozy when the wind picks up.

Seems very cozy but don't order based on chart

I am looking forward to wearing this. I am 5'5" 32 chest, 135 lbs, and I bought a medium. It is slightly loose, but the small was just too clingy. However, if I went by the size chart I WOULD be a small. I guess it just matters how clingy you want it. I plan on wearing a tshirt underneath (as i live in a warm climate and very rarely need a base layer) so if you wore it as a literal base layer that might work for you.

Great base layer!

I bought this to replace my beloved Helly Hansen midweight thermal. It might not end up serving the same function, but I absolutely love it. I usually wear a S, but ordered an XS, as I remembered trying on a small in store last month and not liking the fit. The sleeves are still a bit long, but I roll them up. If you prefer a tighter fit for your base layers, I suggest going a size smaller than usual. I wore it on a big hike this weekend and it was perfect - definitely sweat wicking and quick drying! Will wear for many future adventures. Great price point - $30!

My go to for cold weather.

I literally own three of these (thank goodness for good sales) and hoped REI was still making these so I could give them as holiday presents this year. I LOVE them. They are super comfortable, soft and stretchy yet still flattering. I use them for running and hiking when the weather is cold. As long as I'm moving well and generating some body heat, this and a t-shirt is all I need down to around 40 degrees, even with some wind. The hood stays on well and stays out of my eyes. Between the zip neck and hood, it offers great thermoregulation options. I often change my use multiple times during a run. I also use it as a sleep layer during cold weather or cool summer night camping. BRING THIS BACK, REI!!!

The Best

Feels good on my skin; moves with me; hood perfect-my favorite piece of clothing. If it was available I would buy three more just like it.

Perfect for cool-weather camping

I bought this and the matching pants as a sleeping set for spring and fall camping when nights are in the 40s or below. I'm a larger person (230 lbs) and usually wear a 2XL in women's wear, but for these the XL fits great--close to my body but not overly snug or tight. I like how the hood fully covers my neck and head, keeping me warm and cozy at night. If it's cold enough to add a hat, you can fit it under the hood to keep it in place. In the morning, I keep the top on until the day warms up enough to change into something cooler.
