So I decided to try this top since everyone was giving great reviews on it since the fit seemed to be "universal" for most body types... taller and bulkier etc.  I do like it but I don't know if I would say it is "worth every penny I spent" on it.  The material its made out of is nice and fashionable.  It is a very cool mens shirt.  The size is truly almost like a medium/large.  I wear a size large (which comfortably fits).  I am 5'10" and 190 lbs.  The size fits my body when it is tied yet it is a tight fit.  I would never tied it though anyway.  I tried wearing it with a T Shirt and the only thing i noticed is that it was small in the armpits.  The armpits were tight.  I wouldn't think anyone size XL or larger would like wearing it.  Yes.. the hood is very long.  Check out the pics.
