What Shoppers Are Saying
With 49 reviews and a 4.4-star average, this half zip earns praise for its warmth, softness, and lightweight feel.
"Very nice soft material sleeves are a little long but other wise fits perfect"
"I'm very happy with this sport shirt. I like the textured weave. It's super warm without being heavy."
"I really like this shirt so far. It's lightweight and is the perfect warmth for me."
"Nice item but too big. I usually wear a large. This was more like an XL."
"Very nice quality. Warmer than I expected too, which is great as that is what i needed."
The common thread is warmth without bulk, but heads up, this one runs big. Several reviewers say it fits more like an XL and the sleeves run a little long, so consider sizing down.
