We seriously love the shoulder and arm shaping of the Hot Chillys Micro-Elite XT Men’s Zip-T. Here we have an example of how great construction and design expand the versatility of sportswear. Starting with a single layer wind resistant stretch fabric with a soft brushed fleece backing and a smooth outer layer for easy layering this mountain weight piece is cut with active fit tailoring, so you can wear it as a baselayer or as a midlayer. Then the sleeves and shoulders are fashioned with pack friendly shoulders and arm seaming for easier movement. Body forward side seams reduce bulk along the sides and allow climbing belts and pack harnesses to fit smoothly without chaffing. When it is really cold and you need more between you and the world, or it’s chilly and you want a light protective sweater, this multi-functional piece is designed to be your go-to option for all your sports. It even has a UPF 40 protective rating for those early spring bike rides and trips out on the water. With thumb hole cuffs and an easy fit this is not something that’s going to end up languishing in a drawer, waiting for just the right temperature band, but a piece you’ll pull on so often it will surprise you.
