Gut but it be better

Wicking, Lightweight, Colours, Fit

Durability, Price

I have one berghaus argentum shirt and durability it tragic. Under 5 kg pack it pile. For such amont it is scandalous

It is a good top but......

lightweight
quick drying
reasonably priced
comfortable to wear
nice fit (relaxed)

durability definitely an issue
picks up bobbles quicker than Benny from Crossroads
not the warmest in cool conditions

I have to say that I really like this and the long sleeved versions (I have both). The colours are great, the fit is nice and relaxed for the less toned amongst us :) I paricularly like the high collar (I wont buy a baselayer without one now). I got my tops for reasonable prices (on sale) and have worn them for about 80% of the time when out recently. All good positive things...now for the not so good
The durability of the tops is poor. The material seems to pick up bobbles and snags very easily. I know its a lightweight material but you only have to brush past something coarse and it snags. The logos are these annoying iron on types and they soon start to peel off making the tops looks shabby after a few wear/washes. Ok its not a fashion show on the hills but I would like the top to look reasonable for a reasonable length of time before showing its age. For some reason the top also picks up fluff like its going out of fashion so avoid washing it with cotton or wool garments
All in all I really like the tops but the durability is defintiely an issue and for the money I think this should be far better
