This is a great product. It is warm without all the bulk. It washes well and has held its color. It is form fitting and fashionable.

I love this pullover it's perfect for hiking, skiing, and just wearing with jeans when it's cold out.
from Ballston Spa NY on 6/4/2008
I used this product throughout the winter as a base layer in extreme cold. It was very breathable and kept me warm, but didn't restrict any motions. I'm still wearing it in this unpredictable Spring weather.
from Jackson, Wyoming on 5/24/2008
I wore this every day during my ski bum year in Jackson, Wyoming (read: cold). A tank top, long sleeve long underwear top, this Power Stretch and then a windproof soft shell was my ideal combination. It's also stylish (note: "style" adjusted to mountain bum terms) enough to wear for apres'ing (hides oder well too). Ok Ok I also wear it when I haven't been skiing too. One of my friends told me that I was wearing it too much. I ignored her and bought another one instead.
I have a hard time describing it and so I usually end up calling it by its name, the Power Stretch. It's stretchier than a fleece but warmer than a long underwear top. It's dense but lightweight. Stretchy but retains its shape well. Stylish (see above) but practical. Ahhhh the Power Stretch.
I usually wear a small or medium shirt and wear a medium in this piece. Partly because I want a little extra room for layering and also because I find the small to be a LITTLE too tight in the mid-section. The medium leaves the sleeves just a tad too long for me (I'm 5"3') but again, I prefer that for outdoor adventures.
One downside is that this version doesn't have the thumb holes that my previous one did- what's with that EMS? I miss them- they're brilliant additions to any layer.
Regardless- buy it. Do it.

the sleeves are long enough and the Quarter Zip is really comfortable.

I really debated buying this shirt, because of the price. But in the end, when you use something all the time the price doesn't matter. And I use this top all the time. It is the perfect solution for winter runs. It's warm. It blocks wind. I am spending a year in New Jersey (normally live in warm climate) and I can't even believe how comfortable I am running on the cold days. Also, I like it better than a shell because it moves with me and doesn't swoosh.

Love the thumb holes to keep your hands warm, an added sense of coziness
from Connecticut on 1/7/2008
I use the pwer stretch clothing mostly for running but also other outdoor activities.
from Seattle, WA on 1/4/2008
Love the fit of this top. It has good lines without being too tight. I wear it all the time because it is warm and comfortable. I also use it for skiing and hiking. My only complaint is that it pills quickly, although with the black you can't really tell.
from NH on 11/20/2007
I use this product for running, hiking, walking, and golfing. Very warm with great wicking ability. Love the lightweight and stretchy material feels like you aren't wearing anything!
from Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 3/20/2007
I love this midlayer. It was a bit on the expensive side so I waited to buy it until it was on sale. I wore it hiking on a very short hike once, and it started to pill at the sleeves immediately. I love the shirt and its very soft and warm, but for how expensive the product is [...] I wouldn't expect it to pill immediately. That is usually what happens to low quality products, not products that cost [...]. If you are going to buy it, buy it on clearence so the price is reasonable for the quality.

from Portland, Maine on 2/3/2007
Love this top. I use it for physical activities such as winter hiking, cross country skiing, shoveling snow, but also wear it just as much to the ice rinks for a layer of warmth. The China Clay is a very appealing color and I have received compliments. Nice fit, great sleeve length for my long arms. Love the thumb holes.
