What customers say:
The Merino wool fabric provides excellent warmth and moisture-wicking properties without being itchy. The base layer is versatile and works well for various cold weather activities. Some customers noted the fit could be improved, and a few experienced shrinkage or pilling after washing, but the majority report the base layer holds up well over time.

Cresta Wool Midwt 250 Crew Top
Great shirt. Since it's merino wool it's not itchy. I wear it for snowshoeing, and it provides the right mix of warmth and wicking. While it does provide thumb holes on the sleeves
