The Cresta 150 merino wool base layer is a versatile and well-regarded option for outdoor activities. Customers praise its excellent temperature regulation, breathability, and comfort, making it an ideal layering piece. The lightweight yet insulating properties are noted to be suitable for various cold-weather activities. While some customers have experienced minor issues like shrinkage, the majority highly recommend the product for its quality construction and durability.
I bought it for a trip to Scandinavia because it was going to be cool in a few places, and it worked perfectly.

Works very well as a base layer for winter and shoulder season weeks just before and after winter. Does a good job wicking moisture to outer layers.

Nice weight, initial fit, and warmth. However, even after following cleaning instructions, it shrunk. Material is too delicate for hard use and repetitive cleanings.

Great light weight base layer for winter. Chases off the chill inside and outside, if I wear it under a flannel shirt it’s very warm. I like the fit, snug but not binding.

Love it! Comfortable long sleeved lightweight wool with thumb loops to keep sleeves down where they belong under outer layers. Get a size up, shrinks a bit.
