I purchased this sporty little top in color "Ash" for the Fall/Winter season in the PNW. I love the style, fit and the color-which is a versatile light heathered gray. Usually I steer away from tops with anything resenbling a cowl neck but this loose turtle neck- with ties to cinch it in tighter if needed. This top is cute with skinny jeans. I love the overall length-which is perfect on my 5'2" frame-and the slightly fitted cut which helps in the flattery department. Probably would not look as good on very tall gals. The kangaroo pocket works great for temporarily stashing my keys or glasses and the thumb holes are a big plus. For reference I'm 115 pounds and wear XS or S, depending on the manufactor. XS was a little snug and so I would not be unable to comfortably wear a base layer underneath. Size Small is perfect with or without a base layer. The only thing I don't like about this top is the material. The material is thinner than I expected and almost entirely polyester except for a touch of spandex. The material is even a little scratchy at first. After 2 months of constant wear I'm noticing the material is getting softer but I'm also noticing piling and loosening of the darker gray fabric weaved into the base lighter gray color creating the "heathered" look. For this price I'd expect to get at minimum 2 seasons wear but, my concern is after the end of his winter this top will look too tattered to be presentable. I'm of the mindset to spend more on a quality garment and getting many years wear. The weight and thickness of the fabric also requires a base layer on cold days so for this reason I would suggest sizing up if you are between sizes. Without a baselayer it is a perfect top for cool Fall days or layering under a light jacket. Overall, I really like the style, cut, colors offered and the comfort but, for the price I want to see fabric that is of higher quality. If Kuhl would keep the style the same and address the the material issues I would not hesitate to order several more colors for I love everything else about this top.

DOES RUN SMALL. Sizing depends on how you want this top to fit. I'm 5'9 130lbs and wear a small in most tops. The medium is snug while the large leaves a little extra room for a shirt underneath - which is how I want to wear this top. If you get your sizing right, this is a perfect top. Soft and comfortable as other reviews indicate.

I bought this same shirt last year and my dryer ruined it when it overheated. So glad to get another one. It's a lovely shirt, soft fabric, just the right length and a little dressier than most sweatshirts so I can wear it to work on casual Friday with dark jeans. It washes up beautifully and does not pill. Highly recommend!

Great pullover. Made of soft material....not scratchy. Runs a bit small...so I recommend sizing up. I usually buy small in this brand but sized up to a medium and it fits perfect. For reference I am 5'7", 125lbs.

This is my second Kuhl Lea pullover, but have bought Kuhl jackets and other clothing in the past. Even though I am an XS (0-2), I got the Ash color in a small and it fits well, not too big, just perfect! I love the softness, style, comfort and it’s easily washed in cold water, hang dry and it does not wrinkle. Kuhl products are high quality, well priced and last for years.

Purchased this in a Medium (usually am a small/medium, 5'4" 125lbs)-- It is a pretty slim fit even for a medium. Definitely no room for layering but I kept this size and will wear it alone because the fabric is pretty thin for what looks to be like a sweater but isn't. If you want to layer I would recommend sizing up for sure. Love the style and overall happy with this purchase.

This is a very nice casual/sporty top. After reading the reviews, I purchased charcoal/steel in XL partly because neither pomegranate or black was available in that size. I found it to be too loose, so I returned it and ordered the other two colors in Large. If you want a nice streamlined style, you should go with your usual size, but if you would like to put an extra layer under the top you may need a larger size. I wore a bra and camisole under large, and it felt and looked good. For reference, I am 38C and usually size 12 in tops, but a bit smaller around my belly.

Based on other reviewers comments on size I bought a large and it fits perfectly with a long sleeved shirt underneath. I'm 5'4" and 132 lbs. I like the look of this shirt but don't find it that soft and after a few month's wear I am noticing pilling.

Love this top! Nice fit, flattering and not too tight. Great sleeve length for my long arms and I like how the back of the top is lower than the front. Ordered the green, goes great with the Kuhl grey pants I also ordered from Zappos and jeans. Will wear it for cold weather golfing as well.

I like this top for its style and comfort. I am 5'2", 110lbs and 32b, normally wearing XS/S/0/2. I got an S based on the reviews and it fits perfectly. The cut of this top is rather straight, so it may be tight for someone who's well endowed. All in all, it is made of good quality medium-weight fabric and really cute on. You won't regret it.

I purchased this top in red a month ago, in size XS. I liked it so much that I decided to buy another. It arrived today. But was too small! Unfortunately, I guess even at this price, I cannot count on consistent sizing. Too bad. I always thought Kuhl was a high end brand. I guess not any more.

I have the top in cactus bloom (pinkish red), which I love and get a lot of compliments on, so I ordered it in bluish color. It was rather disappointing. The color was not like the photo at all; it was more like teal and a lot darker than the photo. Whether the color is such an important factor in this style or the cut is actually different from color to color, it looked too loose around my belly and not flattering. I had to return it.

I always need a size M in Kuhl whereas I wear and XS in North Face. So the M fits perfectly. The Viola color was not quite as gorgeous as it appeared online, but I have a blue one that I just love.

As others have said, this is a very snug fit. I originally ordered an XS, then exchanged for a S, that was still very snug (you could not fit anything underneath it). Otherwise, it's a cute top.

Great color. Cute top, but runs small. I normally wear a M-L. I ordered the XL as I wanted it to have a slouchy, comfy feel for running around. However, it fit more like a M-L. It's VERY warm (thick) which is fine with me, I will wear with a vest. I just wish their sizing was a little better on the mark.
