Customer Reviews Columbia Midweight Stretch Long Sleeve Top

Perfect fit lightweight and comfortable. I wanted something that I can throw in my backpack for a trip I have to Peru. It was also important that it didnt require to be iron or that it would get wrinkle it check off all boxes.

As others have noted, this shirt is very fitted; it doesn't constrict but it doesn't sit nearly as loosely on the body as the picture suggests. Order up a size if you want a fit as pictured on the model. The sleeves, oddly, run very long.

The blue is a beautiful, dark color. Top is very fitted. I am 5 foot seven 130 pounds wearing this as a base layer the fit is perfect as a medium.But if I wanted to wear it casually on its own, I would go with the large. The sleeves are nice and long. Style wise. I do like the quarter zip neckline one better. But that's just personal preference. They are both beautiful tops.

This is the thinnest shirt Ive found that keeps you insanely warm for how thin it is. Highly recommend as a running shirt for chilly temps or a solid base layer for colder weather

Great color, warm shirt. Don't love the metallic inner layer it's a bit sticky.

This shirt runs small. I normally wear a medium and this, to me, feels like a small.

Love it, its not thick. Looks cute with leggings.

Warm and comfortable base layer shirt. Hugs the body so it doesnt cause extra bulk under other layers.

Thus lightweight shirt keeps you warm without being bulky. Very comfortable and well made. Only complaint is it runs small

Sleeves are long and so perfect for taller women, I'm 5'11. It's warm, and I've already worn it during morning workouts on my bike a few times!

Overall the fit is great. Wore this out in 27 degree weather with a fleece mid-layer on an off-trail bushwhack in the Smokies. Started out with an older omni-heat outer layer and quickly had to shed that. Really comfortable with no binding.

I bought this shirt to wear as a base layer and it functions very well for that. It fits well but I bought an XL and usually wear a size 12. It works very well at keeping heat id you wear an additional layer. It does not stay warm if it is your only layer. I look forward to wearing it - it washed well.

I gave this shirt 4 stars only because I haven't had the chance to use it as a base layer for cold weather, meaning below 45 degrees. I have worn it alone under a light jacket and it worked well in the low to mid 50 degree range. This is my first article of clothing with the Omni-Heat Reflective shield on the inside. I have preferred wool but wanted to give this a try. I am 116 pounds, 5'4" and I ordered a medium because I didn't want it super tight. It still is close enough to the skin that it layers well.

Nice feel. I love it!

This shirt is everything I was looking for. I usually wear an L in Columbia and still have a little bit of space, but this shirt fit more like a medium, or a tight L. I would probably get an XL otherwise.

This is very comfy although the arms are too long. It fits like a second skin but does not restrict movement at all.

I found it is fitted at the first time but not too small. It's very comfortable. Like it!

This style runs small. Tight in the neck and under arm and around chest area.

My mom has had one of these shirts for years. I finally decided to get one, but the big difference between hers and this new one is the stitching on the upper chest. I am 6'0" and 250lbs with a very large chest. The stitching feels restrictive in the chest, but I think this is because I'm larger than most in my chest. Length is great. I don't have to pull it down to stay in place and I never have to worry about it slipping up. Sleeves are plenty long too, which is rare. Fabric is comfortable. Very excited to wear this on my trip to Iceland!

I bought this shirt to use on hikes and long walks so I could stay warm and dry. I was able to wear this shirt with my outerwear company's down sweater and it kept me warm in 40 degree weather without having to go up to a thicker down coat. The moisture wicking features worked very well too. The silver dots on the inside of the shirt help you retain your own body heat to a comfortable level without getting sweaty. It does run a whole size small. I normally wear a medium so the first shirt I bought was a medium in black. It does fit but it's kind of tight under the arms and the arms themselves. If I keep it pulled down at my wrists, it helps from not binding at my armpits. The neck is also cut a little tight like another reviewer said. I loved the functionality of it so I ordered two more, one red and one blue but in Large this time. Large is perfect for my 34D frame. I normally wear a size 8 for reference. This alleviated the tight armpit situation and high neck, making it much more comfortable. It's still very fitted but not tight.

This is said to soak of the perspiration and keep in the heat, well it does exactly that. I would recommend this product.

I really liked this thermal shirt, but found it hit right on the base of my neck. Total panic-inducing no-go. But the rest of the shirt was a perfect fit - long overall length, long arms! What to do? Decided to put in a slightly gathered V stitch at the neck to pull it down just touch. Took care of the neck issue perfectly. Its now my favorite. And warm, to boot. Hope Columbia fixed just this neck piece when they roll out a new version.

If I could I'd wear this under everything, but the collar sits right at the base of the neck and most of my sweaters are crew neck and would show through. Still very great! I'm just waiting for the winter to kick in

Fit is not to size too tight, but great qquality and color

I'm a world class explorer, 5'2, 106lb, 34bust, vegetarian, 20% body fat, xs-s. I owed several of Columbia products because it's great craftsmanship and adv high tech outdoor gear. it usually runs big, but i have buying larger for multi use. i bought titanium base layer top-S, omni heat reflective top-S, and legging-M. i am upgrading my gear and disappointed that none worked to protect me from freezing cold to the body core . i sleep with 3 blankets and it's still cold. M legging fits my S body but not tight, but it didn't keep me warm and it was itching; otherwise, i would have kept it. The top felt smooth and cold patches at different body part in 50F. I ended up keeping the titanium for uniform heat generating. And I added 100% thick wool as another base layer. Now, this feels like a bear warm hug while standing in cold night. 5 hrs later being on computer, and i am still warm. i can move freely and stretching arms to test it. Both Columbia tops designed for full arm stretching without feeling tugging your entire body and arm length sleeves covered my entire thumbs in which is perfect as it is working as gloves for hiking the Everest. It stayed folded inward too-no sewing. Titanium top is much thicker and warmer by itself. I didn't like the no lining in the back because it didn't provide protection. i didn't mind the aluminum cracking sound when u stretching it. I wish it comes in nude color so i can wear underneath urban pretty clothes too. The goal is to wear in multi thinnest layers, less heavy snow jacket so i can peel them off to acclimate while keeping super warm & not wet. Titanium+wool is perfect. When you are hiking Everest, 1 lb item feels like a ton! In conclusion, I returned reflective top and bottom because they couldn't keep me warm at all. Maybe if your body is on the hot side, then you can use cotton base layering it would work for u-not enough heat for me; hence, it received 3 stars. However, i would buy Titanium again with nude color only. Another disappointment when I contacted online chat for assistance to locate my shipment. They couldn't tell me where my package is.
