I bought this in navy blue. This is my new go-to shirt. It feels soft and cozy next to my skin. It is just the right degree of warmth to wear comfortably in my house (I keep my house cool). I love the adjustable collar/hood. It works like an adjustable gaiter under my jacket and I can easily adjust it while I am walking. When used as a hood, it is very lightweight, but still warm. It also fits nicely under the hood of my raincoat. It washes nicely.
Couldn't pass up the deal, $25, added shorts to hit the free shipping. Great quality and true to size. Thank you
It fits trim on my body (broad shoulder/chest narrow waist), this isn't designed for you to put a bunch of layers over.
It's stylish over a henley and jeans around town.
In the woods/mountains this is meant as an active mid layer, with an oversized puffy in your pack to throw over when you're not moving.
I bought my first Testa in late 2019/early 2020 and it's still going strong, this recent purchase was for backups, I have six now, grey/black/green and a backup for each. Sad that this style seems to be discontinued. I hope whatever replaces it keeps the fit.
It's hard to find clothes that fit my body this well without buying oversized then paying extra to get them tailored. To put it in perspective to anyone still on the fence, I own a couple different versions of arcteryx lvl5's and the Testa is better in fit and construction.
The construction of the gloves seems good. I do worry though about how abrasion-resistant the outer glove is. I find the gloves are a little snug to put on, but once on they fit well, so I'd make sure you measure to determine the correct fit, and don't go up a size. For moderately active days, I find these keep my hands warm when the temps get into the mid 30s. When less active, with wind chills in the low 20s, I found my fingers still got pretty cold.
I really like the feel and build quality of the pants. I wish i would have ordered a size smaller but they are still a great piece of kit. They feel like PJs and I love the pocket placement.
