I recommend this a style as a basic wardrobe MUST HAVE for every outdoors woman. The natural fiber is breathable and so comfortable over a wide temperature range. For several years now, I've worn a combination of this half zip as a lightweight sweater over a short-sleeved Tech Tee Light, as I work at the store on the sales floor, at home in the office, or outside hiking or riding my horse or mucking out stalls. And its machine washable and no itch.
