I use this shirt for playing soccer, ultimate, and running outdoors as well as for hiking. It is excellent as a base layer for managing moisture as well as temperature control, without requiring heavy layers to retain heat. When wearing it, I stay far warmer and drier than when wearing other base layers. I purchased a L/XL, which fit well except for sleeves which were far too long for my arms. (I usually wear a M in most tops, except tight tops, when I usually wear a L.)

This fleece shirt is extremely warm, soft, and flattering. The fleece used in this shirt is not the light, lofty fleece of many other fleece shirts. Instead, it is very dense and soft, with a heavier feel than many fleece. It is very warm, yet breathes fairly well without trapping moisture against the skin. The fit is fairly form fitting but by no means skin-tight, and it's very well-proportioned. It's excellent for wearing on colder days with a lighter outer layer.

I bought this shirt for regular use in the city. Its straps are wide enough that the bra straps don't show, and the tie-back across the shoulders is positioned so that it's flattering but not revealing. The side applique is pretty, and the fit (combined with the stretchy but soft fabric) is flattering and comfortable without being skin-tight. The only drawback is that after a few washings (machine wash, dry flat) the material pills very slightly (but it's not particularly noticeable.)
