THE NORTH FACE SEAMLESS LONG-SLEEVED ZIP-NECK 2009

£40.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

Review: The polyester/elastane fabric is wonderfully stretchy so it doesn’t feel at all restrictive, making it about perfect for performance if a little figure-hugging for casual wear. This top worked well, drawing perspiration away from the skin quickly and providing a decent amount of insulation. The long zip made it easy to spill some heat when necessary.

Verdict: A contemporary looking base-layer that performed superbly during the test, especially beneath other layers. A lot of cash for a synthetic top, though.
