Great base layer
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight
"It works as a base layer really well. Wore it in the winter underneath a short sleeve jersey and hardly felt the cold.
It does get a bit cold when wet but it dries out quite quickly.
The zip can be a bit annoying when its zipped up right to the top (although I have a thick neck) but its solved by doing it down a bit.

Watch out for your size
Cons: Poor Fit
"I am 5'11 and medium frame, I bought the large size as per the sizing guide and discovered when trying it on it was too small.
I then ordered the extra large which fits perfectly well.
I have donated the large to the wife, she is 5'9 and it fit her well."

Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Lightweight
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"having purchased this base layer for autumn/spring wear I also found it was ok for warmer days on it's own without another layer.It is very comfortable and a good fit without breaking the bank although lacking the technical features of a more expensive top"

Fantastic Purchase
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"So glad to have bought this item as it has become one of my most used cycling gear. It's perfect for both warm and cold climates to provide the first barrier between you and the elements. Highly recommend and considering getting myself a second one.
The zip neck is particularly good as it helps you regulated your temperature if needed. Most of the time it keeps me warm enough not to need another layer.
Great fit and not bulky at all."

cold and clammy when wet with sweat
Pros: Good Fit, Lightweight
Cons: calmmy and cold when wet with sweat
"This top works ok in that it is a thermal base layer. But, once it is wet with sweat it chills me to the bone when I stop riding. It stays wet and clammy for far too long and all I want to do is take it off. Stick with polyproplyne, it's warm, doesn't stay wet and never feels clammy."
