I bought this top as a base layer for in bound skiing. I like the fact that it has insulation (much better than my old ColdGear by UnderArmor). I like the support that it provides. The thumb loops can be a bit of a pain, but they're worth it. It keeps the top in place so it won't ride up like others I've owned.

These shirts run tight, so I would recommend going up one size (I'm a skinny 5'9" 140 lbs and I feel like a sausage in my small size although I can fit in it. I also have a medium which is less compressing). While I do think it helps my posture and helps avoid neck/shoulder stiffness... overall I like the long underwear bottoms better (compared to regular long underwear tops and bottoms).The material is very comfortable and indeed does seem to handle a wide range of temperatures well... I've worn it snowboarding in the winter (with a windproof shell) like 35-40 degree weather and then again hiking the glacier snow in July in 60-65 degree weather (feels like 75-80 in the sun when you are wearing snowpants and a shell). While it was a little cold in the former and a little warm in the later, I really haven't worn anything else that could handle such a temperature range at all.

I'm on the snow 7 days a week 5 months a year, this top helps my back and keeps me warm or cool.I also use as a base layer for my road bike in the fall. I did a century in Heber wearing this garment.It was 32 or less and I felt fine.Buy this stuff it Reeally works!!!
