We just got back from a 12 day vacation to Italy. We didn’t know if it was going to be hot or cold. These tops allowed me to travel with just carry on bags. They're great for layering. You can hand wash them and hang to dry and they're ready to wear the next day. What a life saver! When you wash them, fill a basin and soak for a few minutes with liquid soap, rinse, and roll into a towel to get any excess water out. Hang to dry. Fabulous!
