Good adjustability

By NY orienteer

from upstate New York on 9/7/2008

Pros:

Comfortable

Best Uses:

Jogging, Running

Describe Yourself:

Athletic, Comfort-oriented

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the adjustability of the half-zipper (and wish EMS's women's shirts had this option). Would prefer a smoother finish than the Techwick mesh for use in off-trail conditions of orienteering/navigation races (the mesh snags!). Otherwise, it's great for running on trails!

Excellent wicking performance

By Orienteer-femme from upstate New York on 8/16/2008

Pros:

Breathable, Comfortable, Cool, Keeps You Dry

Cons:

Not enough color choices

Best Uses:

At The Gym, Jogging

Describe Yourself:

Athletic

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have this shirt in men's small since EMS doesn't make a quarter-zip Techwick with short sleeves for women. I LOVE it - it's my favorite Techwick shirt of all because of the ventilation adjustability.

Hope they keep making it; different colors would be nice. How about a women's version?

Great Shirt for Multiple Uses

By Dan R

Pros:

Breathable, Comfortable, Cool, Keeps You Dry

Best Uses:

At The Gym, Backpacking, Mountaineering

Describe Yourself:

Outdoors addicted

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This has been a great shirt worn as an outer shirt, but I especially like it as a base layer. The zip permits variable venting, which I very much appreciate. I wear it for climbing at the gym, as well as at the crag. Liked it so well, in fact, I bought another one.

Bottom Line:

As a long-time proponent and user of zip-tee shirts, this one is a cut above the rest. Most often, I use this kind of shirt as a three season base layer. Or in summer, it becomes the outer layer for activities that don't demand abrasion resistance. I've never worn a more comfortable zip-tee. I enjoyed the first one I purchased so much, I just bought a second one. Well done, EMS!

Great!

Great for hard workouts when you really need to have the sweat wicked away. Best thing about this shirt is that is dries fast, thereby offering a lot of cooling as soon as you quit the heavy stuff. Helps during recovery.

My favorite shirt!

Bottom Line:

Wore it while kayaking, makes a great first layer as it breathes. Removed outer layers as the day warmed up. Really like the zip neck for ventilation (crew neck can get confining). I hope you continue this style and add more colors - I will buy them!
