Held up all season
Picked this up as a base layer for hpde days. held up through a full season of washes without the fabric breaking down. runs a little small, sized up and it fit better. good base layer, would buy again.

Solid upgrade
Picked this up as a base layer for club racing. noticeably cooler than the cotton undershirt I used to wear, worth the upgrade. runs a little small, sized up and it fit better. recommend as part of a full nomex setup.
