Is this warm enough for winter running?

Not on its own. It is a thin, light layer best for cool weather or as a base under a jacket in winter.

It runs trim through the chest and shoulders. Size up if you want room for a base layer underneath.

Is it good for hiking as well as running?

Yes. The light weight, stretch and quarter-zip suit light trail duty and fast hikes, though it is not a rugged shell.

A stretchy polyester-spandex blend using materials that meet bluesign criteria.

Does it have pockets?

No. It is a minimal training layer with no hand or chest pockets.

How should I care for it?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low; avoid fabric softener to keep the stretch and wicking performance.

Our take on the REI Co-op Active Pursuits Long-Sleeve Quarter-Zip Pullover

The REI Co-op Active Pursuits Long-Sleeve Quarter-Zip is a lightweight men's training layer in a stretchy polyester-spandex blend. At about 7.8 ounces it is light enough for running and hiking, and the quarter-zip lets you vent heat without taking it off. It uses bluesign-approved recycled materials, which few budget training tops match. Reviewers rate it highly for comfort and value, though some find the fit trim and the fabric thin for cold weather.
