Men’s Extreme Long Sleeve 1/2 Zip

Built for low to mid aerobic activity in extremely cold conditions, this high-loft fleece layer features thermal reflectivity from your neck to your waist. It provides maximum warmth and wicking with stretch inserts under arm for comfort where it counts.

Construction:

•     Omni-Wick inserts keep you dry and comfortable
•     Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining for lightweight, breathable warmth
•     Performance fit
•     Antimicrobial
•     Ergonomic seaming
•     Thumb holes
•     Imported

This baselayer is light, soft and stretchy. With an amazing reflective coating to keep you warm, this baselayer is breathable to keep you from sweating. With holes for your thumbs, the sleeves are long enough so they cover your hand and not just your wrist. This design feature really helps to keep your hands warm, and you can even tuck your fingers in if they get really cold outside.  The 1/2 length zip and the thumb holes make the garment easy to get on quickly and in addition, helps to keep the baselayer in place (no bunching) while you put on sweaters etc. The baselayer extends to the hips which is the ideal length to keep your back warm, even when sitting.  This baselayer is outstanding quality and we appreciate the double stitching of the garment to ensure its longevity.
