Essential Apparel Men's Old School Waffle Knit Thermal Top

These are hard to find and exactly what I was searching for. Light to mid-weight thermals that can be comfortably worn out doors in 30- 40 degree weather and indoors on very cold days for short periods without working up a sweat. I have a 34" waist and 33" sleeve length. The waist/ body of these thermals is a little snug but OK because the fabric is very forgiving. The sleeve length is perfect. I noticed very little if any shrinkage after their 1st washing/ drying cycle.I'm thinking of buying another pair of these.

Indera has a similar item sold on this site for about the same cost. If you want a thermal top that will only be used on rare occasions (for example, winter trips where you'll be outdoors in the snow a lot) then fine. Save the money, but don't buy this. Buy the Indera.Essential Items' product, which is after all labeled "Essential Apparel", not "Occasional Apparel", does not stand up well to daily use. My guy lives in them whenever he is not working. I hang my head in shame to have placed this in his stocking (along with Indera's, which merits one more star), when I should have shelled out for Ralph Lauren's, which he deserves--heavier weight (and much warmer), closer threads, tight weave, well finished--than this ridiculous thing, which is nearly ready for the rag bag.I should have known from the price not to have high expectations, but it was well rated on amazon.com, so I bought it. I left the tag in so I can avoid making the same mistake twice. Better still: for the man who asks for so very little and uses these so much, I will drive myself to Macy's or go there online, and purchase Ralph Lauren thermals again. The one and only that he owns is in beautiful shape after YEARS of wear, and he gets cold easily. This was a stupid purchase, which won't be repeated.The seller was very prompt in delivery and should not be blamed.

I bought 6 of these for my husband for winter in Maine and since he's tall, it's usually difficult to find a Long size. These fit the bill and fit him!. I wash them in cold wash and dry on medium heat. He likes them.

I use these for nighttime wear. A little lighter than some might like for cold weather sports, I find they really are effective for my purposes. The price was right as well.

6’2, 205lbs & the XLT Fits me as expected. XLT is ribbed cut, meaning it hugs the physique. It looks nice on my athletic, muscular physique. Obese or chubby individuals my find the XLT to be a little tight.

These are the basic waffle or "grid" type thermals and are not heavy weight or "super duty" by any means. If you are planning a trip across the arctic tundra then "buck up" and buy a more expensive type. If however you are like me and just need something a little extra during the winter months to wear under your work pants, then these are just fine indeed. Just don't throw them in the dryer and cook em down a dozen sizes especially if you're kinda tall as they wil shrink up to your elbows.

These tops fit very well and they are stretchy. I wear them for cycling in cool fall weather. They breathe very well. They keep me nice and warm. An added bonus is that they are very good at picking up additional warmth from the sunshine.

Good product
