Huntech - Microform Sweat High Country
Purchased this sweat-shirt from Huntech in XS over a month ago. It is a lightweight, breathable longsleeve top with fleece inner-lining and water protective outer. In Men's sizing so fits off at the chest with a V-neck zipper that comes down far too low for me - but that's about the only thing I can complain about![]()
This top is great! It's by far my favourite thermal layer of clothing! So far in hot weather it has been breathable enough as not to overheat when moving. I can still wear a thermal underneath if necessary. It has wrist/palm covering for when wearing a jacket that exposes your hands. The outer layer is actually really well woven material.
Instead of wearing a wetsuit I wore this top when kayaking on a rainy day in cold weather, in light rain it has good resistance and when I rolled and fully soaked the top it still kept me very warm in the wind and rain! Also dried quite quickly for a product with fleece.
Since the weather has deteriorated I have been wearing this most of the time around the house - very comfortable and quiet. However I would say for much colder winter weather - you'd wear this to keep warm while moving a lot, however pile more layers on when still as it's great with body heat but still a lightweight layer.
If I could afford to chuck out my "crapmandu" "thermal" tops to buy several of these, I would. Far better quality. And not a bad design, either!
