[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits snug which is perfect for a baselayer. Tried out a few combinations during this Michigan Polar Vortex, which were all successful. Want more!
Solidly long-underwear-ish. I'm a size large and they are comfy to wear around the house and outside being mildly active. Not stick to skin tight but also not really baggy. These have a that nice thumb loop to keep the sleeve pulled down to your wrists. I like 'em.
I work outdoors in low temperatures. My go to undershirt is the FD Pro 160. The thumb cutouts make it easy to layer on top of. This thermal-ish shirt provides the perfect level of coverage and does not irritate my skin.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Completely love this base layer top! Very lightweight, non bulky & warm. Didn't think I'd use the wrist thumb loops, but I do. Wear it most every day to work & want to get another one! Don't have any negatives.
Purchased as a base layer I wear this for alpine skiing and mixed & winter climbing. Great fit, can pass as a casual dress sweater. No odor retention and doesn't bind across the back or unduly arms.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I take off my TNF GoreTex Mountain jacket, then remove my Denali fleece, I still look dope in my TNF base layer... ya know... like in the ski lodge checkin out the snow bunnies!!
Will use it as a nice midweight base layer when ski season arrives. Ordered the large (5'9", 155 lbs.) and it is a little snug. Too tight for daily use and the XL would be too large.
Kept me warm during -7 degrees ski day. Medium size fits me well for 5'9" and 170 lbs. i can see the threads coming loose after couple of wear so this might not last very long.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got this top about a month ago & I wear it all he time. Super comfortable & warm, although it's lightweight. Love the wrist/.thumb holes in bottom of sleeves!
It felt warm wearing it for -7 degrees ski trip. The strings are coming loose wearing it for few days. Not sure how long it will last.
