The Lowdown

I’ve had this top for close to two months, and I wear it every opportunity I get. It’s really good at keeping me warm without being bulky or too warm, it’s versatile enough to wear as a top in it’s own right or it’s great worn as a layer. However you wear it, it clings to the body like a big cosy hug.

The outside has a neoprene/soft shell feel to it, and there is plenty of stretch in it. Inside there’s a soft brushed side which sits against your skin, making it pleasant and snuggly to wear.

The zip running part way down the chest makes it easy to regulate your temperature, though I generally wear it zipped right up, and the feature I love the most are the thumb holes at the end of the extra long sleeves.

I went for size L which makes for a snug, but comfy fit (I am usually a 14-16)

The only thing I would say, is that I love long sleeves, and like that the length of these is longer than strictly necessary. For a chunky lass like me, the close fitting ‘skinny’ style isn’t something I’d normally go for, but I don’t care because I love the way it looks, and it performs brilliantly.

The Verdict

I wear this camping, I wear it for short trail runs and I wear it every time I go out hiking. I genuinely can’t get enough of it. The form fitting style and extra long sleeves won’t be to everyone’s taste, but when it comes to versatile performance and looks that stand out, this gets everything right.
