Description of Sport Science Zip T-Neck Wool Jersey - Men's:
The fabric nerds at Sport Science broke out the Bunsen burner and some sort of centrifuge-type thing and came up with the Men's Long-Sleeve T-Neck Jersey. As a poly/wool hybrid, this long-sleeve performance tee combines the moisture-wicking power of polyester with the temperature regulating and odor-fighting prowess of wool. The result: a super comfortable zip-neck shirt that's ideal for running, biking, hiking, and working out in cool weather.
Bottom Line: Sport Science's mad scientists created a moisture wicking, odor-fighting monster.
I can't really agree with a few of the other things in the reviews I have read, but I can say that I certainly dig this thing, overall. On the negative side (for me anyway), (1)the neck comes up a bit too high, it's slightly awkward how it kinda flops around a bit (2)I haven't noticed the great odor-absorbing properties that some of the other reviewers have opined upon--that might be due to a placebo effect; it's really not any different in this department than my other polyester 1/4 zips or other baselayers. That being said, it is a light, fairly warm shirt that has a nice fit--well worth the $25-$30 pricetag. I am 6'1" and 185 lbs and the large is fairly tight on me, but not so much that is relegated to being a base layer only, as I wear it often as a casual shirt.
I was given a couple SS27 men's longsleeve front zipper turtlenecks as a gift and liked them so much I purchased a few more. They are light, but warm enough and breathe well. The thumb holes are an interesting touch, but I could do w/o them.
the cut of this shirt is truly made for the athletic body. i'm 6'4" and have a 43" inch chest. the large fits like it was tailor made.
this shirt will keep you warm without overheating and the thumb holes add value. don't ask me why, they're just awesome to have.
i bought two and may buy two more.
