EDIT: FTR-Ex Officio Micro Stretch Fleece Skivvy Top-Cora
Hi Cora
Thanks for posting your FTR so promptly. I looked at your html version in the test folder along with your post
on the BGT list.
First, let me compliment you on your html report. It's first class, one of the best I have seen on BGT.org.
Your format is great, and your style is clear, concise, and insightful. My only suggestion would be to add

better term since you are remarking about the garment's performance on that trip. You use the heading

Skivvy stuck to my skin everywhere and sweat ran down my
back and arms. It was a weird experience given my great
experience on the previous trip.
COMMENT: This strikes me as an over reaction (here and later on) to say that the top has poor wicking ability
