I bought two of these shirts at the BMWMOA Rally in Des Moines.
Earlier this week I wore the shirt under an Aerostich R3 for a trip down to Deals Gap (600 miles). The temps in the afternoon were in the 90s and while I was warm my skin was not wet and I was comfortable. The shirt feels very soft and comfortable against the skin. The zip up crew neck collar is comfortable and the thumb "loops" are practical when putting your coat on.
To date no experience with the shirt in cool weather.
I was impressed enough with this shirt that I may try out some of their riding shorts.

Thanks for the review, John. I just looked up
the link to the shirt, and it looks pretty interesting.
Could you look at the little tag - if there is one - and tell us what the material is composed of, i.e. polyester, spandex, nylon, etc.
I always see their ads in the BMW ON magazine and wonder what makes them so special. I would buy a couple if they prove to perform as described and last a fair while.
I have the $15 Cycle Gear Heat Out Tee shirts which you have seen me wear in Eureka Springs and they work well enough, but the construction of these two types of material etc. seems like it should perform even better.

Thanks John. I should be able to add to this by next weekend too as I just placed an order through Revzilla.
My daughter gave me a Revzilla gift card for Father's Day and I didn't know what to get ... until now.
