These shirts are excellent quality.
from Denver, CO on 6/22/2008
Have only used this in warm weather so far but works great. Keeps you cool without being hot. Lightweight and breathable. Good for keeping the sun off. I'm sure it will be great in winter under a sweatshirt or jacket.
from Seattle, WA on 6/22/2008
Great for cool weather running or warm weather so as not to get a sunburn. Like the shape, not very fitted, but flattering. Kind of bummed about the color choices.
from Rochester, NY on 6/18/2008
This is a great shirt for cool to warm weather. I love the fit. I love the feel. I will wear this shirt for everyday until something happens to it when I will move it to a running shirt.
from Lansing, MI on 6/8/2008
I bought one for a hiking trip, it was too big.. I'm a 34, 28, 35. My bust size is a small, but waist size a medium according to this sizing chart. :( I bought a medium which was WAY to big, but it did fit my mom perfectly. So, I bought a small and it fits really well! (I also bought the techwick t-shirt.
from Grand Haven, MI on 6/1/2008
Short in the waist, catches and snags easliy

I travel for long periods of time and because of the techwick shirts I can travel carry on. I use them as layering pieces. I buy them smaller and use them as a turtleneck or I use them as a second or even third layer. I can rinse them out and they are dry the next day or within a few hours. They are starting to get some better color choices that are more flattering and can be useful. I also hike in one every morning and they have been washed a hundred times and are still in great shape.
from Keene NH on 4/25/2008
I have purchased the same shirt in a different color awhile ago. It's the same size but fits better and the new one has too much logo stuff on it for me. I like the older logo better.

from Derry, NH on 3/30/2008
I layer this product for downhill skiing and everyday casual wear. The fabric feels great against the skin. It wicks moisture the way it's supposed to. The downfall is that you have to be careful wearing it. I recently bought some to wear while I recovered from a fall. However, the fabric and the velcro on my brace do not go well together. The fabric threads pull very easily. There's no way to pull them through the other side and the pulled threads ruin the look of the garment. There's a lot of velcro in ski sport wear: jacket closures, glove and mitten closures, pant closures, boot straps, helmet straps, and carrying bags. What can be done?
from New York, NY on 3/25/2008
It's a comfortable and very nice looking shirt.
from New England on 3/15/2008
Excellent for Indoor AND Outdoor wear and transition between. If you are cold, zip it up - - if you are warm, unzip it.
from Boston, MA on 3/15/2008
I've only used this shirt in layering (for outdoor runs) so far since it's still pretty cold out, but it works great. I love the Techwick line because it's moisture-wicking and you don't notice the sweat until you finally take it off. I especially love this shirt because the sleeves are the perfect length. The sleeves on my other quarter-zip Techwick top are a little too short so it's hard to use it as a top layer sometimes because it doesn't offer enough coverage. I can see myself using this shirt that way though.
from texas on 2/28/2008
It's a great cut, but the fabric snagged the first time I wore it.
from Tucson,AZ on 2/24/2008
I wear this running. I am petite and the sleeves are too short.

from Owings Mills, Maryland on 2/17/2008
Use to workout
from Northeast PA on 2/5/2008
great for base layer for skiing or hiking.
Also good for tennis or other activity as it is moisture wicking and can regulate with neck zipper
good quality and value
from Massachusetts on 2/4/2008
It's a nice shirt with a cotton shirt underneath it. Very comfortable. I get alot of compliments.
True to size.
from cincinnati ohio on 2/1/2008
I love this top!!
I now have 4 and can't live without them. They're perfect for layering when it's real cold with the mid=weight one.
from ohio on 2/1/2008
Great to run in as well as comfortable for everyday running around town.
from State College, PA on 1/20/2008
I wear this shirt hiking a lot. I like the fact that when I pull up the sleeves, they stay up and don't fall down. But I found the sleeves to be a tad too short. Otherwise, I really like the fit and performance of this shirt.
from Denver on 1/12/2008
Hiking; comfortable ; snags too easily
from MA on 1/11/2008
I use this for running and really like it, but I can't zip it up all the way because it's too small for my neck!
from Saratoga, NY on 1/3/2008
Used as comfort clothes that melts away a chill, a friendly hug.
from Poughkeepsie, NY on 1/3/2008
The zipper length is perfect. I would recommend this shirt to anyone.
from New York on 1/3/2008
This shirt performs well but every season the color choices for women get worse. I wish I could shrink the men's sizes to fit me.
from denver, co on 1/2/2008
I use these for everyday to exercise, and for dress under jackets. Other than some of them snagging and others having the EMS ensignia wear off, I like the product.
from Gambrills, MD on 1/2/2008
These TechWick shirts are my favorite! I highly recommend them for anyone who sweats. They also make really great gifts!
from Londonderry,NH on 1/2/2008
This was an impulse buy and a surprise for my daughter and she has not taken it off. Nice to get somthing right for a finicky teenager! It is comfortable and light. Perfect for a day on the slopes or hanging around.
from Annapolis, MD on 11/13/2007
I use this product for all of my outdoors sporting adventures and love it! I do caution that it snags easily and this might cause it to be replaced sooner than I'd like. But it's a great product!
from Somerset, NJ on 10/23/2007
I bought two and wore them often on a two-week vacation to Italy in the fall. Under a sweater, they even looked fine at dinner. They took up very little space, could be washed by hand in the sink in a hotel if necessary, and dried in a reasonable amount of time. They kept me the right temperature, so no clamminess after hiking around in hot, humid weather. I wish they didn't have a brand logo emblazoned on the chest -- I could have worn them in more settings without that advertisement.
from New York on 10/15/2007
This is a great top for travelling. Easy to wash out and dries quickly. Always looks like new. Just love it!!
from Burlington, Vermont on 10/14/2007
It fits really well and is a very breathable fabric. It works great for hikes and in places that the weather changes quickly. I would definately recommend this product to everyone.
from Batavia, IL on 10/12/2007
Very comfortable. I wear them to the office as well as when hiking. I wouldn't wear them when doing yard work or other jobs where there is a good chance I'd damage the material, but almost any other time they're great.
from Philly on 10/8/2007
I would like the full zip version better
from New Hampshire on 9/17/2007
I have this shirt in different colors and use them all year.

from Washington DC on 9/6/2007
love this shirt! It is soft, comfortable, looks sharp, great for layering, and multi-purpose. I wear it outside, but even got away with wearing it to work on a casual friday!
from Oregon on 8/20/2007
Terrific sun shirt - light, spf protection. Drys really quickly. Only problem is that the fabic can easily pull.
from Las Vegas, NV on 8/13/2007
A great layering piece for hiking on long trips.
from Amherst, NH on 6/14/2007
I love EMS Techwick and own many items. The only drawback I have found is it is easily damagaed by sparks from a campfire or getting too close to open flame.
from Nantucket, MA on 6/3/2007
I liked the fabric, a nice lightweight layer. Overall, I thought it fit well through the neck and body, but that the length and especially the sleeves were a little short.
from Annapolis, MD on 5/31/2007
Loved that it was long sleeved but still light enough for hot, humid days.
I would love to see this neckline/zipper in a short sleeve version.
from Batavia, IL on 5/12/2007
The shirt is very comfortable. Sleeves can easily be pushed up if you get too warm. Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, per some other reviewer's comments.
from Greenwood Vlg., Co. on 5/6/2007
I used to recommend this item to everyone. However, the latest shipment seems unsubstantial, as though it won't hold up through many washings, plus it wrinkles more than the other lightweight Tech tops I have bought.
What I love about the item is that I can wear it for classes at the health club and I can unzip top and/or push sleeves up if it's warm and wear as is if the temperature is a bit coolish.

from New London, CT on 3/5/2007
[...] Overall the quality is satisfactory and the fit is okay. As others have commented I would have perferred a white instead of the off white/chalk color.
from San Francisco, CA on 2/12/2007
Absolutely one of my favorites EMS products! I just wish it came in darker colors: navy, dark brown, wine, dark purple, forest green, etc. I'd buy one in every one of those colors if you had them!
from Colorado Springs, CO on 2/12/2007
I've had an older Techwick shirt for awhile and have loved it - wear it skiing all the time even though it's lightweight. [...] I was a little disappointed to find that the sizing on these later ones seems just a little tighter. But what I really don't like on the lighter colored one ("chalk" ) is the label which has been stuck on the inside back of the neckline (where the "label less" information used to be). First, it is a litte uncomfortable and second, you can see it through the back of the light-colored shirt. I will probably send this one back for a refund. One feature I have loved about my older shirt is the lack of annoying labels in the collar.
from Groton, MA on 1/31/2007
Great for those layers for hiking. Lightweight & takes up no space in your pack.
from ny on 1/29/2007
i have 3 and i wear them to run, ride, and to class. they are really comfortable and the perfect weight for a layer
from auburn, maine on 1/23/2007
perfect layering shirt -
from Binghamton, NY on 1/15/2007
Great top for hiking, backpacking, cycling, anything...
Good as a base layer or layering piece.
Lightweight, very breathable.
I have one in almost every color!
from Kingston, NH on 1/8/2007
This was an XMAS gift for my daughter and she loved it.
from north wildwood on 1/4/2007
Just didn't fit properly around the underarms- need to return.
from San Juan, PR on 1/2/2007
Loved it! It's thin, light, great wicking and protects arms from sunburn.
from Long Island, NY on 1/2/2007
I LOVE these shirts!! I've been living in them ever since I got them. As somebody who loved cotton, I cannot believe how much more comfortable these are. I wish you'd do underwire bras in the fabric, because they really do EVERYTHING you say they do.
from Doylestown, PA on 1/2/2007
I primarily buy these for sailing in warm weather. They are ultra breahable but keep me from burning to a crisp in the hot sun. They are also great for windy/cool nights on warm vacations. Lightweight, easy to pack and they dry very quickly. I also use them for running on cool mornings and find once I warm up they breathe enough I don't have to remove it or can tie it around my waist without feeling restricted.
The only downside I have found is that with all the lines and places to snag clothing on a sailboat I get pulls in these fairly easily. The snags don't affect performance and since I generally don't wear them as 'everday' clothing articles it doesn't really matter.
from Rockaway, NJ on 12/29/2006
I own a dozen and wear them alone or combined with the #3 Techwick. This covers a wide range of temperatures and activities. They are a little on the delicate side and you have to be careful of pulls in the fabric.
Great for travel as they rall up small and driy very quickly.
from Manhattan, NY on 12/16/2006
I have a bunch of these - and the tees - and love them. I use them for travel, either on their own or under the next level techwick top, for warmth. They also look great. The tees I'll wear to the gym or when out biking. I've never had a problem with their durability. I'll be in Laos next month, where it will be in the 40's at night and in the upper 70s during the day so one of these under the light weight techwick fleece will be just the right layers for cool mornings.
from plaistow, nh on 11/14/2006
I bought 3; for my two daughters (age 14 and 8) and myself as we spend a lot of time outdoors in the cold weather. We liked the fit and the comfort of the shirts. We were hoping they would be a bit warmer (more like polypropalene).
from Cleveland, Ohio on 11/12/2006
I give as gifts to all my exercising friends. Its great as a pull over to the t-shirt when you are leaving the gym and have errands, etc. Just enough warmth for us over-fifty busy athletes, and provides a neat no-hassle look no matter where you go.
from Pascoag, RI on 11/10/2006
It kept my daughter warm and dry in the cool fall weather under her field hockey uniform!
