Whether you're skiing, biking, running or bagging peaks, the XTC Midweight 1/4 Zip Shirt for Men will become a key part of your layering system. The soft, thermally efficient, and high-performance design was developed for multisport athletes who spend a lot of time in their base layers, either on day trips or weekend adventures when fast and light packing is paramount. The natural odor absorbent bamboo charcoal fibers will keep you from scaring away your friends and loved ones- even after a long ski tour, or backpacking trip. The XTC midweight utilizes innovative Bamboo Charcoal technology, a process by which the bamboo plant is carbonized at very high temperatures and infused into yarns to enhance performance qualities. The end result of this process is an incredible layer that wicks moisture rapidly, inhibits odors, and delivers a UPF 50+ rating- all in a highly compressible, comfortable base layer.
Fantastic Underlayer
Wore this on a recent trip to Alaska. Very comfortable during 30-40 degree weather with just this and a light jacket. Also useful as an under-layer with two outer layers for colder temperatures.
The best under layer ever
This is a great shirt for winter layering, not to heavy or bulky. I wear these shirts often as they are great for any type of winter layering. Washing and care is simple and easy. On a scale of 1 to 10, these shirts always get a 10 for comfort and care....Absolutely Great Item from The North Face
