What customers say:
The L.L. Bean midweight base layer is generally considered a high-quality, comfortable, and versatile thermal shirt. Customers praise its warmth, softness, and moisture-wicking properties without feeling bulky. The snug yet non-restrictive fit allows for easy layering. Many use it for outdoor activities and everyday wear. However, some customers have noted the current version seems thinner and less "midweight" compared to previous iterations, expressing disappointment in the perceived decline in quality. Overall, the majority of customers remain satisfied with the product as a reliable, warm, and well-fitting garment.

It got really cold this winter and all the cotton base layers just weren't keeping my shivers away. This merino wool top and matching long bottom layer did the trick. .

Nice and warm, but too tight on arms
Weight: 160-170 lbs

Size Purchased: Large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
While this provides excellent insulation, this top (especially after a couple of delicate-cycle washings) is so tight on my arms that my circulation is challenged.

Perfect thermal!
Light weight, comfortable, and warm. This is a great shirt for fall, and I expect to wear it under an outer shirt or sweater in the cold.
