Cons:
Poor Fit, Poorly cut neckline
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I really like this top except for the neckline--the bottom hits mid-neck rather than at the neck base--this makes the zipper bubble rather than lay flat. Whomever did the patterns for these wasn't using human bodies as a model. The neck is small around but I have a small neck so that's fine. I'm going to keep and alter it since it was so cheap.
The armholes are on the large side also.

Pros:
Lightweight, Snug Fit, Warm
Describe Yourself:
Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wear it skiing and I found that the neck was too tight to zip up (I couldn't breathe)!. If it's unzipped, the zipper gets scratchy. Other than that, it's a great baselayer.

Using the words, "relaxed fit," I bought a S, and it was tight, especially under the arms. Thinking one size up would do, I ordered a M, with similar results! I do have larger biceps for a girl, but am usually a 6/8. I am now exchanging the M for a L. The top feels slightly scratchy to my skin, but I am hoping liquid fabric softener will help.
I have this product in the bottoms, and love them. Those actually do run bigger--the S does fit--and are not scratchy. The waist is high enough not to show your butt crack, but low enough not to be, "grannie bottoms."
Nice product with too tight neck
By VermontGal from Vermont on 12/23/2007
Pros:
Lightweight, Snug Fit, Warm
Cons:
Poor Fit, Restricts Movement
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Running, Snow Sports
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice product that is unfortunately too tight in the neck. I normally like turtlenecks for winter wear, but this is just too tight. If you want to wear it unzipped, like the photo, it's fine. Don't plan to zip the t-neck up. If I order again, I will get a crew neck. Following on advice of the other reviewers, I ordered a Medium, which is indicated at size 10-12. I am normally an 8 or maybe 10. The medium fit me fine in the body - just not the neck. I like the idea of returning to wool for a baselayer - I've had it with the poly-pro stench. This is a nice product except for the neck.

I ordered one and used it so much when cycling that I ordered two more. In 20-30F weather, it keeps you warm without letting you overheat when combined with a lightweight merino wool athletic sweater and a windbreaker.
And despite lots of sweating, it does not get stinky. Or, not very fast.
I also wear them as a base layer at home. I can keep the thermostat down without having to wear the old, thick, itchy wool underwear I once did.
A note on itchiness: I don't find that this itches, but it does feel like wool. A very sensitive friend of mine thinks it itches slightly.
