In short
Good for
- High-tempo days in cool weather: running, cycling, cross-country skiing and fast hill days (Odlo's activity rating: high intensity)
- A slim, light base layer under a shell when you run warm
- Year-round use as a first layer, from autumn hill days to summer sunrise hikes (Odlo's wording)
Strengths
- Slim, seamless-knit construction with ventilation zones and body-mapped breathability, per Odlo
- 72% recycled polyester main fabric
- Sizes S to XXL
Weaknesses
- Odlo publishes no weight and no fabric weight, so weight and warmth are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Slim fit that Odlo says runs small: size up if between sizes
- A light fabric rated 'Light' by Odlo: too thin on its own for a winter camp
- No independent test of this version found, so comfort, odour and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
