I really like this padded shirt. It's one of those rare garments that keeps you warm when it's cold, and still keeps the heat out when it's hot outside. Wool will do this but it takes up a lot of space. The arms are lined smoothly to make putting it on or off very easy. And the large buttons make it easy to get them in or out of the button holes. I may get a bunch of these shirts for Christmas presents to family! Ed
