Unfortunately, I've only worn this about six times since getting it last season and when I pulled it out today, I see that there is significant pilling on the sleeve. Can't recommend this material.
I love this new shirt. The wool blend is awesome for me since I have arthritis & it gives me compression. It does have a strange skin feel I'm not used to from smart-wool, but this is the first time I've ordered clothes that were not socks. Perhaps it's the polyester. I'm super sensitive & I've never been able to wear polyester against my skin. I didn't look closely at the materials used with the wool when I purchased. I'll still wear it since it is nicely moisture wicking & helps my body not to get too cold too quickly when I'm sweaty (which creates body stiffness & pain) I love the fit!
I bought this for a trip to Iceland, yet I have worn plenty in my home state of Idaho to stay warm here! I am constantly cold and what a difference this makes! And it is so easy to wear under regular clothes with the seamless slim fit. I would have given 5 stars except I had a hard time finding the right size. The medium was too snug for comfort and the large is not as sleek as I would like but kept large anyway. I typically wear a medium. I am a size 6-8 with athletic tall build, muscular shoulders.
Purchased this top in a size S and it fits perfect. I'm 5'2 and ~117 lbs for reference with what I consider an athletic build. I purchased the matching pants in a size S as well. I tend to be very cold natured and this underneath a light sweater and a light jacket kept me more than warm on a brisk 40F weather walk recently.
I've loved my Smartwool Base Layers. I really loved how this one looked. But it turns out it is totally differently sized. The large was toooooo small and so was the extra large. I had to give up and mail it back. I am so sorry. I'll try again next fall and be more discriminating in reading the details! I love Smartwool.
I just wore this for a short(ish) winter hike to do a pre-season ski run. Sweated my butt off. It was comfortable and warm. It is very fitted. It is probably a little smaller than what I'd prefer. I tried deterring from the site and other people's reviews on size. It is very stretchy though, so it works out.
absolutely love how this fits and feels. the fabric feels soft, has a slight compression, and is very flattering. will be my go-to base layer for nordic skiing in AK. measurements: 36in bust, 29in waist, 37. 5in hip. typically wear size M, ordered M.
I really like this long sleeve. There is a slight itch to the material but not bad. The design is cute and slimming. I probably could have ordered the small. I am 5'6"" and 130. I usually order smalls. I chose the medium and it fits well.
The material is great for running in cold weather (30 and 40 degree temps). Wicks sweat and kept me warm but not overheated. My only gripe is that it did want to ride up while running. If it was a tad bit longer it would be perfect.
This is warm, stretchy, soft, and super comfortable. I ended up purchasing two additional sets because I love it so much. It's layers easily without bulk. I especially love the detailed designs on the pieces.
