Outdoor Research Men's Radiant LT Zip Top

Good thought, average materials!
May 08, 2012

I bought this to use as a midlayer on cold ski days under a shell and only wore it a few times. The design thought is good with the half zip, thumb holes etc. but the materials are a little disapponting! The interior grid fleece is a little "sticky" when it comes to sliding it over your baselayer and seems to grab and requires too much adjustment when your in a hurry to get it on and get going. Also the face fabric which is kind of a smooth polyester has worn very easily and started to pill a little after only a few wears. I love OR stuff but this isn't one of their best products!

Don't like the fit

I have lots of fine OR products, but I can't really see the point of this one. It's too loose for a good baselayer (I'll admit I'm scrawny) and not thick or fleecy enough to wear over a shirt. For someone who fills it out better it might make a nice baselayer.

Functionality, Expected OR Quality

I was looking for a fleece pullover for winter months, and decided to give this a shot. The interior is fleece while the outside is some other type of material. I love it and it is fitting my needs. The fit is somewhat athletic. I'm not sure I'll ever use the thumbs slots, but I guess its nice that I have the option. All in all, another quality OR item.
