Went to an outlet store on Sunday and treated myself to a backpack (for geocaching and general use), and a Berghaus Tech T. I generally wear cotton t-shirts, so this thing is quite a change for me. It's a polyester, moisture-wicking, etc. etc. tech thing and was reduced by $10 to $29.95.
It felt kind of plastic-y when I first bought it, but was so light and fit so well (I bought a size larger than usual as it's very thin fabric) but after one wash is lovely and soft.
So today I wore it while out for my walk. It was a very cold morning, and my hands and lower arms were freezing, but the rest of me felt comfortable, neither too hot nor cold. I did get quite hot and sweaty by the end of things (blech, tmi, but it's relevant) but the shirt did not feel clingy or heavy or sweaty or uncomfortable, so I'm impressed. The light weight of the shirt makes it very comfortable to walk in and wear, too.
Here it is:

The current season's colors are red and grey, but the one I bought is a pale, grey-ish blue in the center section, with darker side panels. I thought it might end up being a waste of money, but I really like it.
