I work outside in weather. Hot weather, cold weather, rainy, sunny, you name it, I'm in it. Half of my work is actually in rivers all year. So, to say that good, durable, and comfortable wool is important to me. Also, I am active, and curvy. When I say that I am in love, I mean it. I wear Cami's under everything, this is the layer that is touching my skin. For wool it is soft and very close to cotton in feel (there is a slight stiffness that is not really noticeable unless nitpicking). Speaking of nitpicking my only gripe is the lack of color options, cuz even though I'm a working girl, I'm still a girl, and I still want colors for a stylish look;) I got the red color and it is beautiful. As for fit. I am 5'4" and it goes past my belt line but not long. I am busty and no issues there. I have put this to the test on 100+ degree day and no smell. I have not had the option to try in cold weather yet, but I think it is going to be great base layer. I have not been dunked with it on, so I don't know the drying speed, but it's coming.
