Great fit! Great as a mid layer
I love this top! For the fall, it's great over a t-shirt, especially out hiking with the dogs. I especially love the thumb holes and look for that when buying outerwear.

Great middle layer
Fits more like a mid-heavy baselayer than a fleece pullover...which is fine with me since that is exactly what I needed. Unlike another reviewer, I DO find that the cuffs are stretchy (made of smooth spandex like material) and can be rolled back when not using the thumbholes. The chest pocket is too small to be really useful...but I rarely use those things anyway. Overall, a great mid-layer over a light base and water resistant shell.

Highly recommeded for you outdoor pursuits
Purchased as a layering piece for backpacking. Very light and fits quite snug, I am 6'2", 185 and purchased the medium as I usually do with The North Face apparel. The only slight complaint is the cuffs are not stretchy and subsequently you cannot pull them up for ventilation and the can be a little difficult taking off and putting on. The extended zippered front and extreme light weight more than make up for this in my opinion
