Light, Warm and Cool all at Once!
Keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. Smart enough to wear to work in my job and the perfect antidote to overheated offices. Flattering design.
It's expensive at £25 but if you hang around long enough you will get them off the Craghoppers site for £15 each, but beware, if they screw up your order you end up sending it back at your cost and getting a refund involves getting Trading Standards involved.
I have now got 8 of these and they go well under a micro-fleece on cool days and evenings. On their own they are great on warmer days. In the over-heated offices they let body heat dissipate quickly, presumably through the side panels. The side panels are designed in such a way as to give you a flattering look, broad shoulder/slim waisted. They dry really quickly when washed and the quality is really good.
I have had some of the staff in a previous job ask me if I was trying to look young. I just pointed out that the t-shirt saved me from expiring in the heat of the office. Anyway what do they know as they stepped out of the office straight into their car, whereas I walked home in all weathers!
When Craghoppers web service works it's brilliant. When it fails it does so spectacularly!
