This jacket is awesome - just the style I was looking for! I originally got a medium, but the sleeves were waaaay too long and in general the size was a bit too large. The sleeves on the small were just right (but still long enough for my liking) and fit better all around. It is a short jacket, but that's part of the reason why I like it, very stylish. This jacket is also VERY warm, and I love all the pockets.

I love Icebreaker, so when I saw this on SAC in a java color, I jumped on it.. Sadly, I had a terrible time trying to get this over my head, as the stitching around the neck did not give at all.. my head is actually on the small side, so I was amazed that it took great force to pull it over my head. Once on, the fit is looser than the BodyFit, which is OK as a mid-layer, and I of course love the sleeves with thumb-holes. I haven't decided whether I will try to stretch out the neck or return this one..

This top did not disappoint! I have another one in black w/ a blue stripe down the side and wanted to add another color to my collection. I order smalls in all the Icebreakers because I prefer a fitted look (size 6 blouse, S-M tee). I did not think this top ran looser than usual like another reviewer - this hugs the body like the other BodyFit tops I own.

This jacket is kick-ass. Look is fabulous and I love the multi-functionality. Bought it for casual wear throughout the fall/winter. Right now I'm wearing the vest with and without the hood. Either way it looks great and keeps me warm! I wear size small shirts and the size 6 fits great. Would not be able to fit a chunky fleece or sweater underneath, but I am not planning to since I wear mostly Icebreakers for winter layers.

I prefer these to the ultra light micro running sock.. my feet slid around wearing those while doing interval training. However, these do not slide at all - I attribute this to the higher amount of cushion in the sock bed. Definitely keeps my feet more dry and comfortable for aerobic activities, yet great for everyday wear, too.

Agree with previous reviewer on sizing issue. Generally I'm a 6-8 and I ordered an 8 in both black and clove. Well, the clove fit fine but the black was too small. Might be b/c the pants were not made in the same country.. Anyway, the clove reminds me of a true rust color which I ended up not liking, so both of these are going back.. Too bad, fabric quality and overall design get an A.

Perfect everyday tee! Not so loose that it looks sloppy, length is good, color (marine) is very pretty. I have not noticed an uneven knit that another reviewer commented on, perhaps it was that particular shirt.

This polo rocks! Looser than the BodyFit, but still hugs my figure enough that I don't look sloppy. Bought this mainly for travel/everyday wear in the Pinot/Teak color, which is a perfect very dark purple color. Love that I can wear this multiple times before washing!

What can I say, I love practically every Icebreaker piece that I buy, and this is no exception. Very fitted, like the BodyFit, which I prefer. If you like a looser fit, go up a size from your norm on this one. Color is fabulous and the side pocket is nice for a key/phone. I can't wait to get more use out of it when it gets cooler..

Got these on SAC, but I will have to return them.. love the low rise and length of the pant (I'm 5'6", they hit the floor in bare feet), but the way the elastic waist seam cuts into your back makes it look like you have way more back fat than in actuality. The waistband is actually only 1/4 wide at the very top of the pant (despite the wide colorblocking), which is why I believe the pants act this way. Too bad, they were almost a hit!

Wow! This jacket really DOES repel moisture! I haven't worn it outside, but tested the waterproofing by sticking my arm (in the jacket sleeve) underneath a faucet - and the water just rolled right off! Overall, a great value at sale price. I ordered a small (I normally buy size small shirts) and there is enough room for a vest underneath to wear when I go XC skiing out West. The jacket itself is incredibly light. The only part I don't like are the cuffs (hence my 4 star rating). I wish there was more of a hem on them because it looks like the fabric just stops at the end of the sleeve. Maybe Columbia will add this to a future version of this jacket? The cuffs are adjustable, however, which is a must have for me. Sleeve length is just right - I would caution those with long arms to possibly order up a size.

After reading the rave reviews, I decided I should find out for myself how great this shirt was - and I was not disappointed! I normally buy size small in tops and I like things fitted - so the fit and cut of this top is excellent. I haven't been itchy at all, it's keeping me warm, and I've worn the shirt for 3 days in a row. Love it!

I loved all the features of this jacket, but I thought the overall look was lacking.. I ordered the off-white color, which in the picture seemed shiny and cool, but in actuality, was more of a dull canvas type material. The hood was neat, but there were no drawstrings to reign it in, and therefore it was huge on my head. The coat was fairly warm, although not as warm as the Fullalure down jacket from TNF that I ended up purchasing.
