Merino wool fibers give the Outdoor Research Essence Zip Tee for Women the ability to manage moisture and dry quickly. A deep front zipper keeps you feeling cool and comfortable in this long sleeve active tee. Natural odor neutralization allows you to wear the Essence for days on end without developing a permanent stench.
AWESOME
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO RUN IN DURING THE EARLY MORNINGS AND THIS SHIRT FIT THE TEE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE VERY LARGE TAG ON THE INSIDE OF THE SHIRT THAT IS IRRITATING. BESIDES THAT I LOVE THE SHIRT AND MAY BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE.
Great for Winter Hiking
I have been looking for a winter hiking shirt for some time and have stayed away from most wool products as it's not too cold where I live. I ordered this shirt with low expectations and was suprised by how much I like it. It keeps me both warm and cool on the trails. In fact I liked it so much I ordered a second one! I found the sizing to be right on.
Great winter layering shirt.
I decided to switch from synthetics to wool this winter and I started with this shirt. I have not regretted the decision and I am now looking for more wool base layers. I crew on Lake Union in WA and the cold starts on the water can become warm fast. The OR Essence shirt keeps me warm long enough for the first part of practice and keeps me cool for the rest of it. The shirt fit a little larger than I expected. I am usually a small and had to get an extra small. The shirt measures approximately 45cm(18inches) from underarm to underarm when laid flat.
