Montane's Allez Micro Hoodie, provides warmth either next to the skin or over a thin baselayer. Air is trapped in the texture of the fabric which has raised channels on the inside for this specific purpose - so its warmer than you'd expect for its weight. The backing fabric is pretty open-weave though - this means that its highly breathable but wind whistles straight through it - so on a windy day it won't be anywhere near as warm unless you back it up with a windproof layer.

Classy bit of kit, well worth the money.

It's a lightweight mid/base layer. And it does what you'd expect it to rather well.

I have worn mine as a single layer or under a windproof for a lot of the summer. It wicks sweat very well, but doesn't start to pong after 3 hours like some of the cheaper synthetics.

Despite being rather lightweight, it generates a good bit of warmth when out of the wind, and even manages to keep it shape well after being worn for a few days in a row.

For sizing, I was between the M and L sizes (I have a 39" chest). I went for the M, which is a snug fit but as I wear this jersey next to my skin it's the right choice for me. The fabric has a bit of stretch in it, which means I can wear the hood under my helmet if needs me.

A great product, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
