For years I had been looking for the perfect jersey to wear with my cycling vests. I am so happy with this jersey! It looks great and wears well, even after wash after wash after wash! I wear it from 35 degrees (with a baselayer underneath) with my cycling vests through 55 degrees without. I love this jersey so much I bought nine of them!
from Upstate NY on 9/22/2008
This shirt fits me perfectly and keeps the chill and cold away. I wear it alone and as a layer under a shell for warmth. I just wish that the color selection was better.
from Niskayuna, NY on 7/6/2008
For the people who use the techwick T1 products, but sometimes get a little cold in them, this product is a great addition to your techwick collection. It can be worn camping when it gets cool at night, but is still breathable. It does pill slightly, but not enough to really effect the product in a negative manner.
from St. Louis on 4/30/2008
Did a 5K a few weekends ago in 35 degree weather. With a Techwick Venus shirt underneath, it was perfect. But it is also the perfect outer layer for 55 degree days when not running hard.
from Cape Cod on 2/26/2008
Used this in my winter mountaineering and ice climbing class and I was plenty warm! It fits really well on an active, athletic woman's body.
from Cochranville, PA on 2/17/2008
The only complaint I have is when it catches on briars, it will pull a thread or two.
from Lanesborough, MA on 2/12/2008
My children fit in the women's t-zip and wear them constantly. They are warm but light. I wish they made them specifically for kids!
from Milwaukee, WI on 2/6/2008
I wear these shirts almost every day - at home, traveling or on the ski slope - for the warmth and comfort. The only suggestion I would have is to keep the logo on the chest in the same color as the shirt - making it more versitile.
from H-burg, VA on 1/30/2008
I meant to order the microlite 1/2 zip, because i had it in a different color and wanted another... this came and it is a little looser around the armpits, (more true to size - the 1/2 zip is tight, but thicker)... wear it for coaching, weekend wear, hiking, to and from gym, etc
from Wanaque, NJ on 1/24/2008
reccomended by friend, awesome clothing
from Seattle. WA on 1/23/2008
I ordered a Lg since others said they fit a bit small, but wished I had a medium (I'm 5'10, 145lbs) the sleeve length is great... with plenty of length past my wrists to feel comfortable. It looks like a layering piece, but can be worn on the outside for a casual look. Very Comfortable!
from new york, ny on 1/10/2008
This is perfect for layering. It's not bulky at all. I wear it as a layer when exercising outdoors in cold weather, or riding my bike when commuting in the winter. Then I started wearing it around the house in the winter to take the chill out of the heating bill.
I love it. I have 3 in this weight and 3 in the lighter weight.
from Stamford, CT; Waitsfield, VT; Alta, UT on 1/10/2008
Use it over an underlayer. Perfect for warmer climates/times of the year when heavier fleece is too warm.
from Spirit Lake, IA on 1/8/2008
Great feel and fit.
from Brooklyn, NY on 1/7/2008
Like this top a lot. I retains some odor, but not half as much as other polypro-type tops I own. I only wish it had a little more wind resistance.
from Pittsburgh PA on 1/3/2008
Wear it as a base layer in winter sports. I have same shirt from several years ago and this time it is much smaller. Sleeves are always too long.
from NH on 1/3/2008
soft and comfortable. wouldn't mind having a version with thumbholes in the sleeves.
from Newtown Square, PA on 1/2/2008
Walking my dog in all kinds of weather
Sizes run small ... even if you fit their sizing chart. Order at least a size larger if not two sizes larger. My measurements fall into a 4-6 in the EMS sizing chart. I ordered an 8-10 and while it "just fits", I know it will shrink when washing. I am pleased with the overall top but would have liked it to be larger. I will be returning it for the next size larger.
from Portland, OR on 12/13/2007
Thhis shirt is soft and breathable and stylish to boot! Great for running in 30-50 degree weather. I own one in practically every color!
from NY on 12/10/2007
This is a great top! It's looks great and feels great especially with the soft inner lining. I also like that while it's form fitting, it's not too snug. I found it worked great in near freezing temps either layered or with just a jacket on top which helped reduce bulk while allowing me ease of movement. Surprisingly, when I walked indoors, I did not immediately overheat. While I was downright toasty, I did not break out a sweat and turn red. And when I did sweat, I never noticed any wetness at all. At most, there was some odor but that was after wearing it for a good 24 hours. I then wore it for 2 more days (not consecutive) without the ability to wash it. The odor only got slightly worse which was a relief. I've had worse insulating tops. This will be my go-to top from now on for chilly to downright cold temps.

REMEMBER TO AIR DRY
from Bangor, Maine on 11/25/2007
Looks and feels great with a turtleneck underneath. Great for layering.

Nice color
from Midland, MI on 4/3/2007
I really love this shirt and wear it all the time. It has a fitted shape but is not body hugging which makes it great as second layer. It is a medium weight shirt (heavier than a long sleeve-t, but lighter than a 200 fleece or sweatshirt. It has very little strech.
from VT on 3/4/2007
The sirt is thinner than one I purchased a few years ago. However it seems warm and works well layered.
from Angel Fire on 2/27/2007
Breathable
Nice deep vent
from Charlottesville, VA on 2/27/2007
My daughter sent me mine. It's my new favorite. I like to hike in it, nap in it, and want to be buried in it! I ordered one for my wife. She loves it.
from New York, NY on 2/22/2007
I own 2 of these tops and constantly wear them for cold-weather activities in the Northeast U.S. It's a great base layer for winter hiking since it is more thermal than standard Techwick, but still breathes very well so that I don't sweat much (which is the last thing you want to do in winter). It fits well enough under a sweater without being too tight or constrictive. It's also a nice piece to change into at the end of a fall or spring day when I need something a bit warmer, but not too heavy. This is definitely the top that I reach for the most often when the temperatures drop!
from Pittsburgh PA on 2/21/2007
Nice material
from pasadena,ca on 2/18/2007
it is the perfect weight. Alone or layered, and it is very stylish. It is my new favorite shirt
from Albany, NY on 2/12/2007
Great mid-layer for North East skiing. Also a nice casual sweater.
from Grand Rapids,Moichigan on 2/12/2007
It's very versitile.
from Phillips, ME on 2/7/2007
One problem is when I zip to the top, it is a bit irritating under my chin. I especially like the back of the shirt being longer than the front. [...] Wish they had had more color choices at this point.
from San Francisco, CA on 2/7/2007
Appears to be more durable than the light weight ones I own in so far as not snagging so easily. Love the "no stink" property! I've replaced all of my old "other famous brand name" ones with Techwick because of this feature.
from Southern NH on 2/6/2007
Very comfortable. I use it for both running and along with my other daytime clothing. I'll be buying one or two more shortly!
from Glendale,CA on 1/31/2007
I ordered 4 different colours for myself and 1 for my friend. The minute she put it on, she fell in love with the shirt. She called me up on the weekend and said,"I have not taken off the shirt since Friday!" That said it All! AND I LOVE all 4 of mine too. The shirt is comfortible, fashionable and keeps me warm and dry all day.
from Westchester County, NY on 1/23/2007
Comfortable and washes beautifully. No need to even put it in the dryer.
from seacoast NH on 1/19/2007
I love the softness of this shirt and the zipper at the neck. It is perfect for ventilation if I'm warm, or fully zipped it's a great mock turtleneck. The sleeves are long enough for me, often a long sleeved shirt will end an inch or two above the wristbone, which makes for cold wrists. I'd buy another one if I could get it in a different color!
from Mount Joy, PA on 1/4/2007
I now own 5 of these shirts and bought some for friends for Christmas because they are so comfy! Great on their own or as part of layers.
from Park Ridge, NJ on 1/3/2007
I love these shirts, that is why I now have 7! They fit nicely and are confortable and warm. They wick nicely too! I wear them all winter while skiing. Most times I wear this shirt with a ski jacket alone. My only complaint is that they don't come in more colors!
from New York on 1/2/2007
Got a bunch of these as gifts for my family. Everyone loved them.
from Upstate New York on 1/2/2007
Have been wearing my Techwick Thermo Heavyweight Shirt in the cold weather for about a month and I love it. I just went back to EMS and bought several more pieces. I find that I am wearing it everyday and also on weekends! I work outside in all types of weather. Great to layer or wear alone. Washes well too. Will use it hiking as well.
from Doylestown, PA on 1/2/2007
My Mother-In-law loves these and asks for a new color each Christmas. She is older and not sports active but swears these are the perfect weight over a turtleneck for cooler days.
from Manhattan, NY on 12/16/2006
I have been buying these for years - they're warm, very light weight and fit well- but it is a tailored fit so check the size chart and, if in doubt, size up. I find regular fleece too thick and bulky and would rather wear this with a silk camisole under it when it is cold. I wear these around town because they have a nice tailored look and always take on with me on vacation. They weigh nothing, are pefect for chilly flights and are very durable. They're supposed to be a warm base layer but are perfect on their own or over another base layer, like the lightweight techwick tees.
Love the soft material, feels like it is hugging me. I get many compliments on the look.
from Morristown, NJ on 11/22/2006
EMS has been churning out some great-fitting women's clothing as of late. Mostly gone are the days when their women's line was characterized by a boxy fit and everything was way too big. This top is consistent with their new fit and it feels like a dream! The fabric feels lightweight but plush and it's surprisingly warm. All in all, with the 20% discount, it's a steal!
from northwest Connecticut on 11/21/2006
This is a wonderful item to wear if you like to layer your clothing for warmth and comfort. I am not athletic, quite the opposite, I am a full-time wheelchair user due to polio. I need warm layers and this is my all-time favorite base layer under my wool cardigans. I keep warm without a lot of bulk.
from South Fork, CO on 11/20/2006
Love it. I have tried other thermal tops like this one that have zip-necks and many have a zipper that's too long. This one is perfect for style and function and the overall fit and quality of material for the shirt is very good.
I love this product. It is perfect for every kind of activity from weekend with jeans to rock climbing. I love the fit it is very flattering not too tight and not too loose.
from Philadelphia, PA on 11/15/2006
Love the product, my only not so perfect comment is the color was a little bright.
from Denver, CO on 11/12/2006
Overall I was very happy with the product. I purchased it as an outer layer for running/hiking. The sizing is very generous, and I found it just a little too big, but not so that I wanted to get a smaller size. The extra room may help if I have a heavyweight layer underneath.
from North Country New Hampshire on 11/11/2006
I love that I can wear this under another layer and it's not bulky and doesn't bunch up. As the day warms up it serves as a great top layer in cool New England fall conditions.
from South-Eastern, PA on 11/8/2006
This totally fit the bill. It fits nicely under bulkier clothes and is as soft as a baby's bottom. I love wearing it!
from Stockton, NJ on 11/6/2006
I bought a Techwick Thermo a few years ago as a layer for winter skiing in VT. The design has improved since then, with much less pilling in high friction areas and a bit of a longer torso length. It has proven to be one of my favorite layering articles under fleece jackets, and an ideal layer to wear when out for a out for a jog, a hike, and especially equestrian activities.

from Boulder, CO on 11/1/2006
Lightweight, but warm. I wear it all the time.
from Michigan on 10/13/2006
Looks and feels good enough for casual lounging around as well as for physical activities such as biking and running.
from CT on 10/9/2006
I own 5 of these shirts and recently bought one for a gift for a friend (who usually borrows my stuff). Need more colors!! I love these for snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing you name it!
from Terryville, CT on 10/5/2006
I have 6 size large TechWick pullovers and this one fits smaller than all of them. I can't wear anythig but a lightweight T or tank underneath.
from Albuquerque on 10/5/2006
mock-zip long sleeved underlayers are very useful in cold weather, inside and out. Few choices [...], those available pricey and in limited colors. EMS offers better choice and value than Patagonia, for example.
