The North Face Impulse 1/4 Zip Reviews:

Reviews:

I love this layer. I have a longer torso and have problems with many other brands being too short. I am 6'1 190 lbs with a slim to athletic build. The large fits me perfect and the arm length is great. I realize this style of layer has longer arms for when you want to use the thumb holes, but I have long arms as well so it really helps. I tried on a similar piece by Mtn Hardware and torso and arms were too short for me.
This layer is well made and has a fairly slim fit, but not like a true under layer like Under Armor that tends to be really fitted. Its great for running as an outer layer and works great as an under layer for show shoeing, hiking, etc... The fabric has four way stretch and wicks as expected.
The only minor issue I have with this piece is the arm pocket. With the fabric being thin and stretchy it makes opening the arm pocket zipper with one hand a little difficult.

The best

This is my absolute favorite winter running shirt. I have two of them that I've bought over the years. My only complaint is the price is a *bit* high (but hey, it's the best). I agree with everyone else's comments:
- Good fit. I am 6'1", 220 lbs, and I wear a large. Look at the size of other people in their reviews also wearing larges. Goes to show the stretchiness of the fabric to comfortably fit lots of physical sizes with the same shirt size.
- Perfect warmth. I run hot and don't want to overheat. This shirt is perfect for mid-Atlantic winters (20s-30s deg), even with a mild wind. 1/4 zip gives you the flexibility to adjust some. Can easily add under or over layers.
- Thumbholes. LOVE THEM. For the longest time, this was the only mens shirt I could find with thumbholes. Use the thumbholes with gloves over top, and you get a great "seal."

Very pleased

I got this for Christmas and mainly use it for running. Despite the minimal thickness of the material, I find it very warm. For the coldest runs, I like to put one or two pair of gloves on, then my hands through the thumbholes, and then another pair of gloves on top of that. This works very well in keeping my wrists and forearms warm. The Impulse is VERY stretchy, so much so that I have to hold below the zipper when I'm trying to zip up, otherwise I end up pulling the whole shirt up. Same goes for the arm pocket. It's not a bad thing, just needs to be noted. Love the garment though, definitely pleased with it.

I purchased this shirt to wear on some trail runs along the Appalachian trail in the early spring. It was the perfect warmth that I was looking for and loved the 1/4 zip. I was really surprised how much of a difference the zipper made in adjusting my temperature. The sleeves on this shirt are very long which I actually appreciated. I was very easy for me to make a fist and pull it into the sleeve for some extra warmth if needed. The fabric is very breathable and soft. I really enjoyed running in this shirt.

best runners shirt yet

this is the best running shirt i have worn ever! i wear it alone in weather from 20's to 50's, very breathable,great moisture wickining,and if it gets too warm,just unzip it a little and let the heat out,gets to cool,zip it back up... great for those cool morning runs that last untill noon....i have all 4 colors,dont want to try no other name brand..

Just perfect.

I've had the Impulse 1/4 zip for about a month now. It is literally the best long sleeve I have ever purchased. It stays true to it's size and always fits perfect. Very stretchy and definitely flattering. Also, gotta love the thumb-holes especially when i'm running on a cold night.

Impulse Zip

I own 2 of these, a red and a blue. It is simply the best performance type shirt I have. Whether as a layer or just wearing it on its own, this performance shirt is awesome. 5'11" 172 LBS, the large is spot on.
Voodudrew at The North Face on 10/20/2012

Lovin' my new TNF shirt

Great for cold weather running in the Pac NW. It is about as heavy a layer as I need for winter weather. It offers good warmth with effective moisture wicking. Fits under my running jacket without feeling bulky.
Erik in Stumptown at REI on 01/01/2013

This is a nice piece. I love the thumb loops and the stretchy fabric. I have used it as an outer layer on cool mornings running and as a base to mid layer on colder days.

Steven Jones at Backcountry.com on 10/24/2011

Looks and feels great!

I really like this. I've actually used it twice playing tennis with my wife. My only complaint is the sleeves are a little long. I'm 5'9 170 lbs and have a large. I would recommend.
