craft green label top warms the heart

The harsh winter has arrived, catching people off guard with its cold. Originally, I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt while roaming the streets, but now I'm huddled in thick pajamas because of the cold wind and snow. I constantly struggle with how many layers to wear and how to wear them. I envy those beautiful runners who can still stride forward in the freezing cold, thanks to some 'magic' gear. I'm honored to be one of the reviewers for the CRAFT Green Label Comfort Fit Layer tops for men and women, and I thank Codoon for the opportunity. Without further ado, let's dive into the review.

Craft is one of over 20 brands under the New Wave Group, founded in Sweden in 1977. Initially, it produced functional underwear for Swedish Royal Air Force pilots, which excelled in wicking sweat during intense activities to maximize comfort. Today, Craft sports underwear is widely used in various sports such as football, basketball, running, orienteering, and cycling, making it an ideal part of a sportswear ensemble.

The color I reviewed is Gecko Green. First, let's understand the basic differences between 'Blue Label,' 'Green Label,' and 'Red Label' (see the image below). This will help you choose according to your needs and assist me in making the review. As shown in the image, the Green Label base layer is suitable for temperatures ranging from -20°C to 10°C.

The Green Label series tops are slim-fit, so choosing the right size is crucial (this will be emphasized in the summary). The size chart is as follows:

The package from Codoon was a simple bag, and upon opening it, I found the Green Label Comfort Crew Neck Long Sleeve Top.

The details of a garment are very important, and the details of the CRAFT Green Label top are commendable. The following detail images show slight color differences due to different lighting angles, but overall, it's a very popular 'forgiving color' (Gecko Green).

[1] Brand Logo: Located on the upper left, simple and elegant, ensuring comfort while showcasing the brand.

[2] Underarm Treatment: Special mesh knitting accelerates sweat wicking. Different mesh knitting is used for the armpit and underarm areas due to different sweating conditions.

[3] Washing Label: The most important aspect of the label here is comfort. The quick-dry series uses this type of craftsmanship.

[4] Cuffs and Hem: Fine stitching with good elasticity.

(The left side shows the cuff turned inside out, and the right side shows the normal cuff.)

[5] Back and Knitting Craftsmanship: The back is also a sweat-prone area, so it uses the same special mesh knitting as the armpit and underarm areas to accelerate sweat wicking. The garment's connecting parts are seamlessly knitted with fine stitching to enhance wearing comfort.

To fully experience and explore the functions and features of the CRAFT Green Label top, I conducted a week-long test. The tests included brisk walking and running, which I will detail below.

[1] Test Method: Brisk Walking

Surface: Road

Pace: About 10 minutes per kilometer

Weather: Specific temperature not available, but within the CRAFT Green Label top's temperature range.
Feeling: The intensity of brisk walking is not high. After warming up, the body was already heated with no sweating. After walking about 4 kilometers, the body started sweating. The CRAFT Green Label top did not feel wet or sticky, and its breathability and heat dissipation were good.

[2] Test Method: Running
Surface: Road
Pace: About 5 minutes and 40 seconds per kilometer
Weather: Specific temperature not available, but within the CRAFT Green Label top's temperature range.
Feeling: After 3 kilometers, the body heated up and started sweating. As the distance increased, more sweat was produced. At this point, the CRAFT Green Label top's warmth and breathability became more apparent. After the run, despite heavy sweating, the top did not feel sticky, and the comfort level was quite noticeable.
