Maybe the GREATEST piece of clothing I have ever worn! Honestly this shirt is as close to perfect as they come. Pro's and Con's are as follows:

PRO'S:

Durability:
This thing is indestructable. Honestly unless you took a blow torch to it you will have this item for life.

Wearability:
I have worn it as a base layer, mid layer, shell, you name it - it's the most versatile piece of clothing I own. Oh, and it looks cool too.

Pockets & Zippers:
One Napolean pocket on the left chest gets the job done just fine. All the zippers float up and down with easy.

Fit & Functionality:
I would say it fits slightly on the larger size, which is fine with me. It's ability to keep the elements of light rain and gale force winds at bay ensures a spot in my pack or on my back for every trip.

CON'S:
Its a tad heavy...roughly one pound.

There is no cinch cord at the bottom so you need to tuck it in to ensure that the heat doesn't escape.

OVERALL - this is one piece of clothing that everyone should own! They are going to bury me in it.
