Nice fit
Sizes ran true to size, on the snug side as this is supposed to be worn as an undershirt. It feels dry next to the skin but not rough as Ms. Victoria states. If you're slim and not a dainty type of guy this shirt rocks..

Really a nice item
Fit could use some refinement, perhaps some spandex in critical areas, the material has little or no stretch. Other than that, I would not hang a set of leathers on without the underwear. The ride is cooler and your gear stays a lot dryer and cleaner. Is especially nice when the temps start going up. I am going to try the Fieldsheer 1 piece next as having only one set of this gear is not enough if you do multi day rides.

Not well designed
I bought this shirt to wear underneath my leather suit on hot track days. The material it's made out of is very light, breathable, and dries quickly. Unfortunately, it has a few serious flaws that made me get rid of mine in search of a better undershirt.
Probably the worst thing about it is that the material is not at all soft. It's actually kind of hard, stiff, and rough. On the sleeves and torso this isn't a big deal, but around the collar and neck, where it's constantly rubbing on your skin from swiveling your head, it quickly becomes irritating and quite uncomfortable.
Another problem is that it's not cut like a normal t-shirt. It's as though they took two t-shirt-shaped cutouts of the fabric, one for the front and one for the back, and merely sewed them together along the edges to make the shirt. It feels more like wearing a sandwich board than a comfortable undershirt.
The final issue, which is really more of a "Whatever!" type of thing, is that the care instructions state "Hand Wash Only. Do Not Machine Dry." I'm sorry, but I'm a modern, liberated father who completely relies on his washing machine to wash all my clothes and my kids' clothes -- which I [*gasp!*] don't even always bother to separate by color! -- so I have more time to play with my kids. Sure, my washing machine has a "Hand Wash" cycle, but my utter lack of any other delicate, dainty undergarments makes washing this shirt by itself pretty inefficient. At least until I can get to Victoria's Secret to buy myself some sexy panties, anyway.
