From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Marmot Evolution Half Zip offers comfort and style for the hardcore mountain runner or climber. Ok, so not everyone can be a fanatic like us, but this year the word is spreading that its not just for the obsessed outdoorsmanit looks good and feels great as casual wear. Check out the phenomenal review it received in Runners World Magazine, May, 2002. Used as a base or mid layer, the new Gore WindStopper N2S blocks wind and resists precipitation while retaining a level of breathability far beyond that of WindStopper Classic. If youre looking for a versatile trail running layer or just cruising around a ski town, the Marmot Evolution Half Zip keeps you warm, dry, and in style."

From RockCreek:
"The Marmot Evolution Half-Zip is a completely windproof and water resistent base layer top, perfect for high aerobic activities. Exceptionally clean design and a slightly contoured fit make the Half Zip light and focused on keeping you dry and comfortable while going places fast in chilly, damp weather. Perfect for biking, running, power hiking and rock climbing."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Marmot Evolution Long Sleeve Half Zip is made with Gore WindStopper N2S. N2S stands for Next 2 Skin, so you can guess where this piece should be worn yep, as a base layer next to your skin. The Evolution wicks moisture with astonishing efficiency, pushing sweaty vapor away from your body and out the fabric face. You don't have to wear the Evolution directly against your skin, but its moisture wicking properties operate best if you do. That's because the greater the temperature/humidity differential between the interior of the shirt and the air outside, the quicker the moisture moves out of the shirt. Unlike other baselayers that can eventually become saturated the more you exert yourself, the Evolution actually works harder as you do. How's that for high tech Gore WindStopper N2S blocks 100% of the wind and resists precipitation while retaining a level of breathability far beyond that of WindStopper Classic. These features make it great as a light shell while trail running, biking, or hiking in brisk and breezy conditions. Yeah, and it looks pretty damn good, too."

"It took a few years for me to figure out the best use of this "next to skin" shirt. Now I won't hike without it if the conditions are at all challenging. That is wind, rain, temperatures between 30 and 60F. I wear it over a long-sleeve polyester base layer."

"Windproof, waterproof, and wicking; indeed! The only drawback from the model I have is the asymmetrical neck zipper which either is all the way up or just feels funny. Otherwise, the light shirt resists all wind and has a great collar height and elastic cuffs."
