I got one of these from STP’s “Bargain Barn”, and it is a great deal with features of specific interest to lightweight backpacking. They were originally $127. It weighs 12 oz., and is very thin, but it is very warm and cozy for its weight and bulk. It will function equally well as a baselayer, shirt, or sweater. The elbows are reinforced. Super comfortable against the skin. Has underarm ventilation holes. Fabric and detailing are first rate. I also like how it looks, as it is just as appropriate around town as it will on the trail.
STP has them in any color you want, so long as it is black.
