Thinking of investing in a Rab MeCo 165 zip neck top. But I just wanted to ask how Rab's sizing is in these shirts - I've heard they can run a little small for the stated sizes and, as fit is important with baselayers I thought I'd better check it out. Anyone have experience?
In reply to Blue Yonder: Can't really comment much other than to say that I am size small in most stuff and the RAB Meco T-shirts (which are great although a bit pricey) are no exception.
If the women's are anything to go by, they're athletic cut with decent length and sleeves - the thumb loops on my hoody are actually useful rather than being somewhere round my wrists.
Slim yes, tall no, but I like extra length on baselayers - like with my R1 Hoody it works better with a harness and I like the extra warmth. Which weight of MeCo do you go for - I was thinking the 165 top for cool autumn weather but perhaps that's overkill and the 140 would suffice. As I say, I've got the R1 for extra warmth and also a down pullover.
