Its good, maybe even very good but not brilliant

Reasonably light
Cheap (got mine in a sale)
thumbloops
relaxed fit :)
soft and easy to wear
high collar
wicks well
even with the silver tech, it does pong after a day's wear
not as warm as some baselayers
thread snags occur quite quickly on the fabric face
the "iron on" logos and graphic tags on the shirt start to peel away and lift after half a dozen washes
I really do like this top. I got it for £20 so consider that good value (although its rrp is higher). The fit is great for me as I am not quite so trim as I used to be and it is forgiving in that respect. I had been looking for a top to replace my Paramo Cambia and although not as warm it is lighter and just as soft to wear. The thumbloops are a godsend and the ability to slip the sleeves up your forearms means I can use this most of the year.
The downsides that stop this being a really great bit of kit is that it still pongs a bit after a day's wear and the fabric snags more easily than the on the Cambia. Also the logos are peeling away and I have only had it for a few months. Minor quibbles in the long run really as I will be wearing this for some time to come
