Long Sleeve : Black

Five stars all day! I want to order more! I wear long sleeves for sun protection and often end up melting, but not in this top. The merino (I think) fabric is incredibly wicking, so even though it looks like it will wear hot, it doesn't: I've worn this to great cooling effect in 90ºF+ weather pedaling uphill in the sun and been cooled. The slightest breeze brings noticeably cooler feeling, and sweat pulls out and evaporates.

I like it so much that...while haven't written a review on the 14" shorts (even though I adore them and have 3 pairs) or the gloves (solid and sleek, I have 2 pairs)...when I saw this top listed in the latest request for a review (after ignoring the first 2 auto-requests, glad they seem to love feedback and kept emailing me) I had to click.

I am 5'8", 165lbs, mostly even/athletic build, and usually wear a M but ordered L for more freedom of movement. From the fit, I could probably have ordered a M but am very happy with the fit. PS. The sleeves are quite long: I have long arms so most sleeves end up being too short, but these are plenty long.

See pics for reference.

I love this shirt! It feels a bit fragile so I have to take care to not wash it with any rough materials or things with Velcro. It’s SO soft and thin. I ended up sizing up so it didn’t hug my tummy as much. It will be my go to all summer for biking, hiking, rafting, all the things.

I am wearing the XXL, I weigh 200 lbs, I am 5’4” and my chest measures 44.5”.
