Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Smartwool Women's Midweight Zip-T (Spring 2008) Features: Zip-T collar w/ 8? = 20cm zipper Flattering princess seams Flatlock seam construction eliminates chaffing 100% SmartWool interlock knit Fabric Weight: 235 gm/m2 = 7 oz/yd2 Garment Weight: 206 gm = 7.3 oz"

From Backcountry.com:
"Wear the SmartWool Women's Midweight Zip-T long-sleeve shirt for stop-and-go aerobic activities or as a warm base layer. This top is ideal for situations where the weather and temperature fluctuate, like in alpine environments. SmartWool's porous natural fibers move moisture while it is still in vapor form before it has a chance to condense on your skin; you stay drier and more comfortable throughout your alpine foray. By comparison, synthetics transport moisture after it condenses; you must visibly sweat before any moisture management begins, which leads to chills once you stop moving. SmartWool fiber is also highly adaptable to a broad range of conditions; it keeps you warm when you rest and cool when your pulse and core temperature heat up. This naturally anti-microbial shirt features a -length Zip-T collar for increased ventilation control. Flattering princess seams with a flatlock-seam construction hug your curves and reduce chafing. An active fit allows for bulk-free layering without inhibiting your freedom of movement."

From RockCreek:
"Smartwool's Midweight Zip T is part of their heaviest line, and it is perfect for forays into alpine environments where temperatures -- and schedules -- fluctuate. Comfortable next to the skin, and offering the world s most efficient moisture-management system. Because Smartwool fibers wick moisture away while it's still in a vapor state, Smartwool keeps you dry, comfortable, and odor free. Smartwool has a natural crimp that traps thousands of tiny little air pockets that act like insulation for your body. Sythetics have to wait for moisture to turn to liquid before wicking away. Smartwool is more versatile and superior to Synthetics in cold and warm weather because it compliments your body's natural heating and cooling process."

From EMS:
"The SmartWool's Zip-T is a midweight long underwear top that's luxuriously comfortable against the skin while offering proven moisture, temperature, and odor-control abilities. Best for stop-and-go winter activities like skiing, boarding, and climbing. Soft 100% SmartWool jersey knit; no itch. Midweight base layer can be worn alone or as an added insulating layer in colder weather. Zip-T collar for ventilation. Flatlock seam construction eliminates chafing. Stretch capabilities for a great fit. No stink! Naturally antimicrobial to eliminate odor. Natural fibers breathe in and out for comfort and dryness. Can be machine washed2AND dried!"

"Fact: this top is my favorite piece of clothing. If you look at any of my other reviews you will see that I spend most of my time in that fine, kind, merino. That being said, this top (of which I own 2), is my most used piece of clothing. It doesn't seem to matter if I am hiking with weight in the 60's or stopping for a break in the low 40's."
