from Amherst,NH on 10/29/2008
I like the "feel" of this "not being there".
Again, I have to say the lack of choice for color is a turn off.
from Chicago, IL on 7/29/2008
I used this for a day hike in the mountains. Kept me warm and it breathed very well. Wore it to sleep as well one night and I was very comfortable. Great shirt...
from NYC on 6/16/2008
very useful, lasts 4 ever
from Buffalo, NY on 4/3/2008
I love these shirts. They wick away moisture while I'm snowshoeing, skiing, kayaking, walking, bike or unicycle riding. Very comfortable with arms long enough for tall people, though I tend to buy men's clothing when its similar to ladies for extra shoulder space. My husband wears these for warmth as an undershirt for work. I do miss the old style cuffs with the holes for my thumbs to tuck into my mittens.
from Raleigh, NC on 3/17/2008
This top works well in moderate to extreme cold weather. It keeps you warm but dry and dries very quickly.
from Connecticut on 1/31/2008
Use as a base layer for xc skiing
from Harrington, DE on 1/22/2008
Fits verywell. Keeps you very warms. Looks and feels great.
from Hoboken, NJ on 1/13/2008
This is an excellent top that provides superior comfort, keeps you dry (for those with perspiration problems), and keeps you warm in mild winter conditions. It is not as warm as it's L3 Techwick brethren, but it is more breathable. My advice, use for most ski/board days, unless it's absolutley freezing. Then switch to L3 and deal with ensuing odor problems L3 causes.
from New York, NY on 1/7/2008
Great shirt. Kept me nice and toasty warm all night out in the cold. Wicks sweat away too.
from Long Island New York on 1/4/2008
Great for layering and light wear
from Shrub Oak, NY on 1/3/2008
Very comfortable shirt. Light yet warm.
from Portland, Oregon on 1/3/2008
As an outdoor guide, I work in varying weather conditions. I look for outdoor gear which provide both comfort and warmth. I have tested and compared products from other companies; EMS provides the best range of products and materials for a wide range of outdoor pursuits.
from Hudson Valley, NY on 1/3/2008
I love Techwick and wish I could buy more of it. But this shirt was a disappointment. The arm holes, in particular, are too tight and the neck band is a little tight as well. I am not "huge" nor am I a bodybuilder, but this was really too small in the "moving areas." It was the right size everywhere else, but not in the arms and neck.

from Connecticut on 1/2/2008
It's a great baselayer for someone who works outdoors. Not bulky.
from Ashland, Ohio on 1/2/2008
none
from Uncasville, CT on 12/30/2007
EMS needs to go back to thumb-holes. I work outdoors, and gloves not possible. Thumb-holes have been the savior for years. Please return to this, all of my co-workers would agree!!!!
from Owensboro, KY on 12/4/2007
Happy with shirt's general fit and breathability but do not like sleeves. Sleeves are four inches too long which would not be a problem if they were finished differently at the bottoms; perhaps some sort of elastic cuff. Otherwise, a very good product.
from Flagstaff, AZ on 11/26/2007
Used this for a long backpacking trip and it kept me warm when the nights got cold. Use everyday as a great baselayer.
from Oslo, Norway on 10/19/2007
Used this top as 2nd layer from skin under my drysuit kayaking. Used it last weekend for 2 days of rolling and wet exits (sweaty stuff) and it kept dry the whole time. Much bigger than I expected from the sizing chart.
from Yosemite NTPK, CA on 10/11/2007
This is a very comfortable shirt except for one thing. The way it is stitched at the armpits causes chaffing. Maybe a size larger would be more comfortable, but I personally don't like loose fitting underlayers.
from Boulder, CO on 10/9/2007
the first time i wore this shirt was white water rafting... which is not the best environment to try out such a shirt however it worked fine. It is fast drying but should be used for 50 degree plus weather. this is not to be worn by itself for super-cold weather.
On another note: I really like the fit.
from Long Valley, NJ on 5/29/2007
love the performance of the product...but wish it had thumb holes like the women's version. goes a long way to keeping your pulse points more consistently warm when necessary...
from Rochester, NY on 2/26/2007
I bought this for my husband along with the matching pants. He had gotten me the female version and I LOVED IT so decided to get him some, too. He wears them all the time - his work place is very cold and it helps him stay warm yet dry. We also went skiing this past weekend and he stayed warm and dry all day! The top ended up being a bit bigger than I thought. The women's fit was much tighter. No problem though - He's completely happy! We love EMS!!
from Stratton, VT on 2/19/2007
I like the fabric, but the fit is very odd across the shoulders--arm holes are strangely cut. Needs to be redesigned.
from Sonoma, CA on 1/23/2007
I got this along with the bottoms (which he LOVES) for Christmas for my husband, but for some reason these don't work for him. He says that they are a bit tight in the shoulders and too scratchy to wear next to the skin. I think they might be fine for me (albeit a bit big!), so we're keeping them though.
from Northeast US on 1/21/2007
Winter presidential trips from -20 to -50 as a base layer.
from Erie, PA on 1/16/2007
With this new version of the mid-weight top, EMS ditched the thumb-hole cuffs, and I applaud them for it -- they only every got in my way. The fit is still the good, snug form fit, with the extra plus of a better shoulder design that makes for better comfort and flexibility. That it comes in something other than black makes it more versatile for a wider range of warmer weather and more casual settings. My only lament is that its no longer offered in a "Tall" size.

I love the fit of this light weight undergarment that isnt noticably bulky nor binding. I will be purchasing more as part of my winter wardrobe!

from Foxboro, MA on 12/12/2006
It fits well, is breathable and the weight is perfect for layering or as an outer layer when exercising.
from Columbia,PA on 12/9/2006
I bought this in place of the bergelene, but I was not happy with it. The bergelene was a lot more form fitting, had holes for your thumbs, and came in tall sizes. I will buy more bergelene shirts if you make them again. Thanks.

I thought maybe it could be worn as a casual shirt, but it is only an undershirt.
