Smartwool Women's Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer 1/4 Zip

Made with 100% Merino wool for natural sweat management, odor-resistance, and temperature regulation this is one of our heaviest natural fiber base layer tops and one of our best base layers for cold weather.

Why we like it:

We prefer wool, and this is 100% responsibly sourced Merino wool tailored with shoulder panels, and a flatlock seam construction, to help prevent chafing even when wearing a pack during high-intensity skiing, hiking, running, and more.

Features and Functions:

100% Merino wool knit fabric provides natural moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor resistance in a comfortable interlock knit. To prevent chafing while working hard the back body seam wraps to front, their is a raglan sleeve construction, and flatlock seaming designed to help increase comfort and minimize chafing. The size medium center-front zipper: 8" (20 cm). Made in Vietnam: 100% Wool-Merino.

Fit and Sizing:

A slim fit intended to follow the contours of the body we will also use this as a lightweight midlayer, if you plan on doing the same, size up.

Bottom Line:

A comfortable heavy baselayer made from Merino wool we use the Smartwool Women's Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer 1/4 Zip as a light midlayer sweater when conditions demand, so we will size up due to the body skimming slim fit of the conventional sizing.
