Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

Only felt comfortable in the coldest weather for me. Also overheated when on long uphills. I tend to hike very hot though and my fellow backpackers will wear this shirt year-round. For those of us who heat up fast, this shirt is only good for extreme cold

Amazing light weight wind blocker

By Gerg

from Sierra crest, Lahe Tahoe on 4/18/2006

Pros:

Blocks wind chill, Breathable, Lightweight, Warm

Best Uses:

Cold Weather, Windy weather

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

Worn as a base layer at 9000 feet on a cold and extremely windy day, I was amazed that such a light fabric completely blocked the chill. It also breathed well and insulated just enough that no additional layer was required.

For weight concious, alpine back packing and travels, Gore WindStopper gets a '10'.

Windproof and warm in any conditions

By Maine Canoe1

from Poland Spring, Maine on 3/31/2006

Pros:

Comfortable, Compact, Lightweight, Tough, Warm, windproof

Cons:

tight fitting

Best Uses:

Backpacking, Crosscountry Skiing, Day trip, Hiking, Mountaineering

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

This must have been invented by the elves. The shirt weighs nothing, but can keep you warm and sweatfree by itself from about 20 to 60 degrees. I have used it for years without a rip or even showing any wear. I'd wear it to work if they would let me. It is tight fitting so unless you are thin it won't fit well.

[...] Gear

By Bruin from Deer Valley on 3/23/2006

Best Uses:

Scouring pad

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

This shirt has a snug fit and pronounced inner seams that rasp against the skin. The material itself is not very soft or comfortable, but the bulky, scratchy seams are the real deal breaker. Absolutely unwearable if your skin is the least bit able to be irritated by abrasion. [...]

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

Received the shirt last week and tried it out on a 7 mile hike on the Finger Lakes Trail System. The day was 20 degrees and windy. I used it as part of my layer system. Performed wonderfully. Can't wait to see how it does in warmer weather.

"The perfect windy day cover!"

By The Mule

from Charleston, SC on 3/8/2006

Pros:

Lightweight, Tough

Cons:

Could be slightly longer in the back

Best Uses:

Backpacking, Day trip, Early mornig runs, Hiking

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

I purchased this shirt because I alreadfy own 2 of the original Transition Zip T's and this one was purported to be lighter. I was definately not disapointed! Not only is it lighter, it's tougher! No snags when pushing thru brush or from putting on/ taking off my pack. It also seems to fit slightly better. Close, active styling with just enough room to be comfortable as well as having full coverage for my long arms/torso. GREAT Shirt!

Not next to my skin

By ut

from PC utah on 1/31/2006

Cons:

Bad Value

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

Received it, put it on, started itching immediately.
Snug fit makes thick seams even more irritating. Never had an MH product be so disappointing.

Well-constructed piece of clothing

By Climber/Runner

from Raleigh, NC on 1/19/2006

Pros:

Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T - Men's:

Another quality piece of craftsmanship from Mountain Hardware. This top is cut with a nice athletic fit, so it's not too roomy or bulky on us thin guys. Unfortunately, once I got it, we got a turn of warmer weather and I haven't been able to really test it out on any workouts but one. It sealed in the warmth quite well during my run.

Like all Mountain Hardware products, this is build with an eye for quality and durability.
