Got this just for the novelty of its "furry" texture. It also matches well with my TNF Super Siula jacket which is made of Polartec Thermal Pro high loft.

Used it quite often while in Nepal for 2 weeks last november.

Generally kept my hands cosy but its not warm enough for temps below 15 dec C.

Now im looking for a glove to wear over this.

First of all i got this on sale and even after i read reviews about the poor fit.

I am 5 feet 11 inches, 160 pounds. I bought size "S". I should have gotten size "M" instead.

The tights fit my legs fine and they are comfortable. All except that the rise and the level of the waist was not high enough. Your butt crack would be exposed if you did any bending over.

Since i just use this to sleep with when I'm in the backcountry and using my sleeping bag, this is fine.
Got to use it during my 2 week trip in Nepal, where 10 days were spent trekking and sleeping in tea-houses.
It felt comfortable.
I wore this for about 7 nights, and it did not hold any odors.

I live in Singapore and we have tropical weather here. I bought this shirt for my trip to the Himalayas end of this year. I tried it on for 2 days. Went hiking in the forest during light rain, wearing this as a base layer and a North Face Blue Ridge Paclite jacket. YES i was testing them out. Needless to say the shirt got soaked with sweat but it wore it for a couple more hours and it dried on its own. The fabric is airy, mildly stretchy and comfortable. The fabric snags though - so keep it away from velcro or sharp objects. It did not stink at all unlike the Adidas Climalite i had. I even wore it for another day without washing and still NO STINK. Impressed, i bought another and now its on its way!
