Here's a mid-weight performance layer that goes way beyond the long underwear that you keep in your closet. Mountain Hard Wear's Power Stretch Zip T is ideal as lightweight outerwear for climbing, hiking or mountain biking in the summer or as a midweight inner layer for the winter backcountry. The reversible design allows you to adapt to changing climate conditions (smooth side out results in better moisture wicking, thermal warmth).
Best powerstretch garment on market
This piece would be PERFECT, if only Mtn.Hardwear would add a zipper garage to protect the neck from the double-sided zipper pulls & the nylon trim used to "cap" the top of the zipper assembly. The dual sided construction is a nice feature for a layering piece: layer the smooth side in for wear over a performance-T, or smooth side out for use with fleece-lined softshells. As far as warmth to weight for bottom layers, nothing beats powerstretch: I wore this piece alone with a softshell and was comfortable well down into the 20s skiing at 9000+ ft in CO with 10-15 mph winds.
My fav long sleeve shirt
So flexible and comfy, I got 2 of them. Fits as described.
Perfect shirt
This shirt is great for the overcast day with a stiff breeze. Hiking in the northwest the weather can be unpredictible and I always carry this shirt with me.
