Works very well as a base layer for winter and shoulder season weeks just before and after winter. Does a good job wicking moisture to outer layers.

Nice weight, initial fit, and warmth. However, even after following cleaning instructions, it shrunk. Material is too delicate for hard use and repetitive cleanings.

Great light weight base layer for winter. Chases off the chill inside and outside, if I wear it under a flannel shirt it’s very warm. I like the fit, snug but not binding.

Love it! Comfortable long sleeved lightweight wool with thumb loops to keep sleeves down where they belong under outer layers. Get a size up, shrinks a bit.
