Stoic Blisses for $20

[Dan Quixote]

heck of a deal on half-zip merino tops (with thumb loops!) My small weighs just under 7.5 oz, and I love that thing; I'm buying another for sure.
Of course, the arms are on the long side, but I can deal with that.

They're Lightish Weight puffies are around $50 right now, too, but I've heard they have some quality control and fit issues.

Thanks man.. exactly what i was looking for. I hate overly long sleeves, but whatever, for $20.

Nice – I have some of their softshell pants, and they have been fantastic!!

[Nathan Baker]

Daniel – thanks for the heads up on this. Since they have no mediums left what do you think of the small on someone 5'8" and 140lbs?

[Morgan Rucks]

thanks for the heads up. I also found an xxl montbell alpine light parka for 122. stoked

Nathan, methinks small should be great. I'm 5'4, and the bottom of the hem goes well past my waist; usually I tuck it in if I'm trekking.

How does these sizes run?

[Scott Truong]

I think there are lots of larger sizes available. If you read the reviews, seems like they're made for lanky dudes.

However, they look pretty slick, and for $20, even if you're horrible at sewing it's not going to sting that much by trying to shorten the length of sleeves/torso and doing a hack job of it.

Seems to me the torso is going to be on the long side, and the sleeves definitely longer than usual.

Luckily i have an aunt who re-upholstered my car when I was a poor teen w/a $600 car.

The comparable icebreaker shirt I was considering was at least $100. I find lightweight merino wool feels/looks good tight.
