A lot of my favorite running gear is Asics, and a lot of my most disappointing running gear is Asics. They are inconsistent with sizing and unless you are trying something on in a store (and probably overpaying at said store), you are taking a gamble on the fit. After ordering a large shirt and having it fit ridiculously tight despite the fact that I typically wear a large or medium, I ordered an extra large in this shirt. And it's too big. But I made it work, because it is a very nice shirt, which is why I still gave it a rating of 4 stars. I have worn this shirt quite a bit since ordering it recently. In 50 degree and sunny weather, I can wear this as my only shirt with shorts and run comfortably for a long time. In 40 degree and sunny weather, I can wear this over a base layer with tights and be comfortable. However, if it is dark, windy, or wet, this shirt will not provide enough protection from the weather. As I said, I typically wear medium or large running gear, and ordered this big because of a previously small-fitting Asics shirt. You should order your true size, or if you are in between sizes, order the larger one (I should have ordered a large). However, it is convenient for layering for it to be a little big. They sleeves are a bit long on me, but again, the whole shirt is big, so it may just be due to that. It doesn't affect me because I either warm up and push mu sleeves up, or if it's cooler I let my sleeves come over my hands. The shirt is pretty thin; if it is breezy the wind cuts right through the material, which is nice in warmer weather to cool down. The material dries quickly, which is nice in 50 degree weather so your not sweaty and cold during your cool-down. The material is also very soft and comfortable, and on weekends sometimes I wear the shirt around the house because it's so comfortable. Bottom line: it's a great shirt, and the sizing is actually true (which I wasn't expecting so I ordered the wrong size).
