I bought this first layer garment at the May Dunedin pop up store and its already a favourite, as one layer when weather allows and a comfortable under layer when the weather is cooler. Comparable to the First Layer Power Grid Long Sleeve which I also recommend. I bought in the graphite colour which has more of a earthier (greenish) hue than other ESS graphite, and I personally like this a lot. A honey of a top!
