They provide warmth without bulk. And being so thin, work under any tops. I like them under sweaters and button shirts. I just bought a turtleneck version but haven't worn it yet. I have some that are at least 5 years old and have been worn and washed so many times. I always pack one because you never know when you will need that extra layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588719 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 20:21:44 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1588719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, those were my thoughts, too, Maneera. Nothing wrong with them, perfectly serviceable, but nothing to get super-excited about either. And it's a bit of an effort for me to get to a Uniqlo and fight through the crowds to find my size, so I doubt I'll bother again. Glad they are working for others, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588614 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:16:39 +0000 Angie 1588614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eliza, high five. My heattech tees are at least 5 years old. Still going strong.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588608 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:10:15 +0000 Eliza 1588608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have quite a collection of heattech and wore it daily through a very challenging northeast winter. I like that it seems warm when you need it to be, yet not too hot when indoors. I have had some of my heattech for 5 years and find it holds up well. I can't compare it to other products as I haven't tried them recently. </p> <p>Glad the packable jacket worked. They do come in handy for travel. Thanks for the review. I wonder if there are any packable ones good for more extreme temperatures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588595 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:18:02 +0000 Angie 1588595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I LOVE Uniqlo's heattech long sleeved tees and find them a cut above the rest. They fit and feel better than any other thermals I've tried. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going to look at their hooded puffers soon.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588468 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 02:47:50 +0000 Maneera 1588468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive got 3 heattech tights this year and I'm not very impressed either. I do have one of the super warm ones but I'm yet to wear that. While there is nothing technically 'wrong' with them, they aren't anything special either. Considering that I got them especially from London and Singapore (we don't have Uniqlo in India yet) they aren't any better than the regular tights I find in local markets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588441 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 00:56:52 +0000 rachylou 1588441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like heattech but then I'm in the Bay Area. The tights, for me, do the trick. Warmer than normal stockings but not thick and fuzzy. I like the heattech tops because they're thin and I'm really about protection from the winter wool sweaters and how bad waffle weave thermals look under a blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588430 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 23:57:57 +0000 Elle 1588430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review. &nbsp;I've had that same exprience with my Uniqlo packable down vest - good for Bay Area winters but not for serious cold. &nbsp;I actually love Uniqlo but for a real winter, I'd try their heavy (nonpackable) down jackets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-uniqlo-review#post-1588388 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 21:02:44 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1588388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant to post about this when I got back from my trip to Idaho, but life got busy. Before we headed to Boise, I picked up the packable down jacket and two Heattech tops at Uniqlo - one camisole and one long-sleeved scoop-neck t-shirt. The jacket performed admirably - it really does pack down in a small stuff bag, and it was nice to have a second coat option without having to pack and haul around two full-sized coats. It isn't super-warm - it wouldn't do for proper winter when the wind's really blowing, unless you layered it under something else. But in 30s-50s temps, going in and out from the car and buildings, it was a nice weight and not a pain to carry around.</p> <p>I was less impressed with the Heattech. I wore both pieces under tops and sweaters, and honestly they didn't seem any warmer than the plain knit camisoles I have from Target. I definitely wouldn't wear them for any occasion where I'd be outside for long periods. Uniqlo does have a 'super-warm' version of heattech that I haven't tried.</p> <p>I had a hard time finding the XLs, even though they do nominally carry them in stores. If I wanted an XXL - which would be nice if I were going to wear the jacket over several layers of sweater/top - I'd have to order online. I guess Uniqlo's prices are good - I paid ~$50 for the jacket and less than $20 for each top - but I'd be more likely to spend a bit more and get something more substantial from Lands' End, Winter Silks, North Face, etc. </p>
