looking at this for summer riding as it says all year round!? does it keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer? any experiences? either this or underarmour heatgear?

  • I have two of these for winter use, great in teh cold, wind and rain. But I find in the warm summer they get a bit to hot and I generally just go for a T-shirt.
  • I've worn these for years for skiing and now for MTBing! Work really well but can get a bit smelly after a long day! Switched to Icebreaker Merino wool recently for skiing but still using the HH for biking!
  • used em for work for 15 years when i worked outside, used em for biking all the time, got about 10. the recent ones are a better fit. can smell if not washed in-between uses. for full on sun too warm, for windy shady summer days perfect. last for years and years and years
