The mid-weight wool base layer provides excellent warmth and comfort without bulk. The 100% merino wool construction is praised for its softness, versatility, and ability to effectively insulate without overheating during activities like hiking, skiing, and cycling. The fit is generally true to size, though some taller customers found the sleeves a bit long. Overall, this is considered a high-quality, reliable base layer.

Happy with my investment!
I bought this for ski season and the warmth and performance was fantastic! I’d forgotten how amazing wool can be. It washes beautifully.

Needed another base layer for my trip to Iceland and this is a nice piece; I got the purple color and really like it. I have worn/washed it several times. Some minor pilling.

Bought two last winter. They are the perfect layer between your t-shirt and your fleece to keep you toasty. We machine wash cold and hang dry, and they still look like new.
