Product review: lightweight Mysterioso
The lightweight shirt feels a bit like a rashguard on the outside, but the inner lining is a soft almost terrycloth-like fabric. Upon putting it on I immediately noticed that it does not have the same instant warmth as the heavier weight shirts. In the cool pre-dawn with a slight breeze it was just enough to keep me warm standing on the beach. I got splashed a little getting out through the surf and noticed that it is much like the heavier one in that it retains it's insulation when wet, unlike a rashguard which gets cold quickly from the evaporative cooling. Paddling out at a decent pace I was very comfortable. This shirt definitely breathes nicely. I often have to take off the heavier shirts for the paddle out, particularly if it's calm, or I work up a sweat. Not in this one. I think it will be perfect for most spring/summer/fall mornings where you just need one layer to stay warm. That day was overcast and as a breeze picked up, I was just on the edge of comfortable with the mysterioso shirt alone. With an aquatec shirt over the top I was perfect. Once the sun came out I was fine with just the mysterioso and did not get hot (the temp was a cool 65 that day). All in all I think this new line of mysterioso fills a gap in my paddle clothing closet. It has all the comfort I've come to expect from their products, and is a cooler version of their traditional line. If you've never tried any of their stuff, I suggest you check it out. You'll probably never wear anything else on the kayak again, at least when it's cool. And it's fishy...

Brad,
I bought the heavier stuff based on some advice you provided a couple years ago and love it. Will give this a try as well. Thanks for the review. TL, Jim |

If I catch one of those every time I wear it, I'll take 10 of 'em!

Great review.
I've always wanted to try that stuff. Ive been using under armour heat and cold compression gear that I picked up for cheap at Ross a couple years back, but It is getting toward the end of its life. Do all the OEX shops carry the Myserioso line? |

Andy will be bringing the mysterioso line into the sunset beach store but right now it is only available at Point Loma.

Great review Brad!
I never tried Mysterioso, but I've been wanting to. Do they make them for fat & bold guys? lol

They fit me, so I guess that would make them fully fat guy rated.
