Travel MUST - The Ultimate Travel & Transit Layer
I wore this as a base layer under a dress shirt for a round-trip ski journey from NJ to Switzerland, involving flights, multiple train connections, and a long walk to the hotel. At every stage, it was perfect—soft, thin, and with an ideal sleeve and tail length.
The temperature regulation is impressive. Zipped up, it kept me warm; zipped down, it cooled me instantly to "meet the moment." It didn't retain much sweat, and what it did catch dried almost immediately. The real test was the trip home: a blizzard had dumped 8 inches of snow, taxis weren't running, and we had to haul a 50lb ski bag by its handles for a mile to the station, in addition to the luggage on our backs. I wore only this layer, a dress shirt, and a soft-shell vest. By the time we reached the train, I was bone dry and very comfortable waiting on the train platform in the snow.
After three more train transfers, check in, and the flight back, I landed in 70-degree NJ weather. I ditched the vest, went through immigration, baggage claim, and waited in full sun for my ride; I didn't break a single bead of sweat. The light grey color is versatile and looks sharp and clean. My only minor note is that the collar doesn't stand on its own when unzipped, but if you’re wearing it under a collared shirt, it rests perfectly for a dressy look. I only wish they made this exact weight in a non-zip version for layering while skiing!
