While in a Target in the Chicago area I picked up a ProSpirit long-sleeve coolmax shirt for $12.
That shirt is working out great. I wish I had bought a few more since I can't find it online or in a
Target store in the Atlanta area. Has anyone seen this online somewhere?

RRS are selling coolmax long sleeve tops for $13.59. See their store-brand long sleeve crew. You
should be able to find a "free shipping" coupon, which you'll want if you buy apparel from there
(because their shipping is quite expensive)

At InSport's site I found their Polartech Turtlenecks on sale for $20. I picked up a
couple of those.

I've picked up quite a few things from that site-- some of the Fleece trainers and the X-static gear
(which is in the mail). I'm pretty happy with the Polartec stuff.

You are of course welcome to write a brief review of them in a similar format to the others
already posted.
