Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2022

Took delivery of 3 different colours of these tops today which I would have cancelled if I had read the reviews before they were dispatched, I suppose they wouldn't be too bad if they don't shrink in the wash as especially the sleeves are just about fitting and the body/torso is maybe a little better but we will see what the fit is like after a wash or 2, also I read they pill quickly which is a big no no, thankfully I didn't spend so much on them so if I can get a decent wear out of each I will write them off as 1 of my not so good buys but hey ho it's all good, not the end of the world, life goes on.

Initially loved it, but it began pilling after one use and quality control issues.

Initially loved it, but it began pilling after one use and quality control issues. Amazon commands a premium price as if it's on par with the competition but the quality isn't up to that level yet.

The material was nice, but after 2 washes it shrunk by about a third. Too bad, I liked the style and feel of the fabric. I'll donate it to a shelter.

Good materials, but runs short and wide. Not for those who wear tall sizes

I've been impressed by some of the Amazon Essentials clothes offerings. In particular, I recently purchased some sweaters in this line that were very impressive for the price.

Sadly, I can't say the same here. The materials are fine--they even use premium YKK zippers. The problem is the fit. I'm a 6'2" guy with an athletic build and a long torso. When available, I generally purchase a "tall" size. When not available (as for this item), I hope for the best. Sadly, this top runs both wide and short (see photos and video). I purchased an XL size, which is often a bit wider than I need, but which offers additional length. Here, it's quite wide and still short. The sleeves are also a bit short. Summary: These are probably best suited for those who are either squat or on the shorter side. For us taller guys, particularly with an athletic build, it doesn't fit that well. It rides up over my belt if I bend over or raise my arms, and it fits a bit like a tent (see photo).

It feels nice, and the color is nice. Too bad about the fit.

Runs small, very little stretch

Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2021

Size: SColour: Green

The description says the Amazon Essentials Performance Sky Midlayer Quarter-Zip is made from 90% polyester and 10% spandex. It’s actually made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane.

The shirt has very little stretch and it runs small. I usually wear a small in men’s shirts or a medium if I want to layer; I just prefer how men’s clothing fits me. My chest measurement is 34”, so I’m actually in the X-Small size range. The size small is tight on me. When I cross my arms, I feel the shirt pulling against the back and shoulders. Whenever I move my arms, the sleeves ride up a few inches. The sleeves do not have thumbholes to help keep them in place.

I have the Evergreen color, which I really, really like. It’s so nice to have some variety from black, navy, and gray!

The waffle weave texture is warm. The zipper pulls for the pocket and quarter-zip are 2 inches long, to make it easier to grasp them with gloves.

The shirt washes and machine dries with no fuss.

Fits Small & Short

Nice quality pull-over quart-zip, but I’m not happy with the fit—it runs small everywhere, including the overall size, length in the torso and the sleeve length too. If you’re taller than 5’7” I’d say skip this. I like the weight of the material with the thin waffle fleece on the interior, which makes this a little thicker and warmer without being too plush and heavy. There’s no thumb holes, so if that is a must, then you won’t find them here. The Evergreen color is awesome—it’s a muted deeper green color and very complimentary for every skin tone. The color is a nice change from the typical grays, blues and other neutrals that are readily available. If the fit was better, I’d give this 5 stars, but sadly, I’m going with 3 stars overall.

Good Quality & Warmth, A Bit Shiny & Short

I kind of like this quarter zip piece, but it's not my favorite. On the plus side, it has a nice weight that's more substantial and warm than a typical material synthetic long-sleeved shirt. It's comfortable too. I also like the color, but unfortunately it has a bit of shine that's not to my tastes. The fit is also a little off, especially for a warming layer. This one is true to size but is cut a little shorter than expected. For items you'll wear to ward off cold, a little length to ensure no gap above the waistline is appreciated but this one doesn't really accomplish that. Overall it's not bad but not great either.

Ordered Usual Size and it's Much Too Small!

Reviewed in the United States on 17 November 2021

Size: MColour: Burgundy

The sizing on this product appears to be off, so consider ordering one size up from your usual size. This is especially problematic because the fabric is not very stretchy. I like my athletic clothing to be form-fitting, but not tight. I was a sausage in this garment.

The fabric itself looks and feels inexpensive on the outer side of the garment, though the inside is soft and comfortable. It will keep you pretty warm on a chilly but not freezing day.

It fits my wife and she likes it so I'll keep it, but I generally have a much more reliable experience with Amazon's brand than I had here, so a little disappointed...

Eh. Mixed feelings. Sized small. Does not last.

Initially this didn't look bad. The fit on this is a bit odd- way too small in the shoulders. After washing it was was even wonkier and we followed the instructions as we always do when trying new apparel.

It also began pilling under the armpits and at forearms where there is friction. I noticed the price has come down to around 14 on it, and at that number vs. the original price I'd say ok. But I would not pay more than 15 for this and would not plan on it lasting longer than a season being worn consistently.

Runs a bit small

Reviewed in the United States on 9 December 2021

I usually wear a large in shirts/sweaters, but this one runs on the small side. Probably should have ordered an XL in this one because its on the short side for me. I am 6"1 for reference. Its also slightly tight throughout as well but if it were a bit longer it wouldn't be uncomfortably tight. This item looks good overall and the quality seems to be sufficient for the price point.
