I bought this in riverside (blue) and coffee (warm caramel) planning to keep whichever color I liked best, but I liked them both so much, I kept both. I'm wearing one now. These are soft, not itchy, and they are long enough! I have a long torso (5ft 7 but my torso is more like someone 5ft 8 or 5ft 9), and this sweater comes to my crotch, and the side cuts do not extend high enough to reach the waist of my pants, so there's no unintended love handle shows. I would call this mid-weight; it's feels light on but keeps me as warm as a midweight layer. I love the surprising stretchiness of the fabric and how it holds a shape. It doesn't stick to you unflatteringly or hang like a sack- it's that perfect in between. I am 140, 5ft 7, athletic build, usually wear an 8 in tops, and I wear a small in this sweater. I considered trying the XS because I have a little extra room, but I'm keeping the smalls. If you want a more streamlined, body conscious fit, you could size down 1 size. The sleeves are actually long enough, too. There's room for arm muscles if you've got them- no constriction. The coffee is a lovely deep caramel that looks lovely with blue jeans, and the riverside is such a friendly cornflower color I had to keep it. These aren't cheap, but I see myself wearing them on rotation for years. They have held up well after washing on cold and drying on low heat. I wear these when I want to be wearing loungey pj's but want to look put together.

Cozy and flattering
I love this sweater, it's my new favorite! It's a really nice weight, cozy, and the drape is super flattering. There's a nice/stretch give to the fabric that allows you to layer over another top, without it being baggy or boxy. My only complaint is that it needs to come in more colors - I bought both the black and the green, but would buy more...

So soft and well made
Sweater is soft and smooth, not itchy. I haven’t worn it yet because it’s still in the 80s, but I’m looking forward to chilly weather someday soon.

Well worth the price! Perfect sweater!
I absolutely love this sweater. You don’t get hot and it was sufficient above base layer in colder weather on high altitude hikes. So comfortable and soft. Not itchy at all. I wear it in all activities. I usually would wear a sweatshirt that I have to take on/off as I warm but this sweater has officially replaced all during travel and outdoor ...

Solace Crew - Like Comfort Food as a Sweater
The Solace Turtleneck is not flattering on me, but the fabric is so soft, that I jumped at the chance to try the new Crew Tunic. This sweater is amazing! It's incredibly soft and just the right weight for shoulder seasons. I'm 5'4" 125lbs and between sizes in Kuhl. For this sweater, the XS fits perfectly. It's long and slimming. The crew neck ...

Love the cut and fit
Well made and a very flattering fit. My only hesitation is the color wasn’t quite what I hoped for. Still I love everything else about the sweater!
