By Outdoor enthusiasist from Piedmont NC on 12/30/2007
Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight, Moisture Wicking, Stylish, Warm
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Competition, Cycling
Describe Yourself:
Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: As a reviewer has pointed out, the fit is rather loose, which is a good thing because it can be worn as an additional polyester base layer on top of a more snug one (such as the Wickers zipped ones [...]). I had a brief problem with the zipper (it doesn't open as easily as the Wickers with one hand), but with two hands, it doesn't bind to open. Very stylish and functional!

Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight, Moisture Wicking
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Running, Snow Sports
Describe Yourself:
Gym Rat
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Overall good value for simple basic long sleeve base layer in mild, cool weather. For extreme cold, could be bit heavier to be truly midweight.

Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight, Moisture Wicking, Warm
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Under Shell
Describe Yourself:
Regular exerciser
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I expected a snug fit from a product called Polar Skins, but this top has a quite relaxed fit compared to most long underwear. (The web site picture actually shows this pretty well.) Sleeve length and overall length are OK for medium size. I decided to give it a try, and was pleasantly surpised at how warm it was by itself under a long sleeve shell for moderate cycling in low 40F temps. The sleeves would be too baggy to wear this under a vest or short sleeve jersey.
