Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer 1/4 Zip

Very Comfortable

Live in NW Wisconsin with cold weather. Merino is everything it's cracked up to be. Keeps moisture away from skin during high activity yet is warm even when cooling off. My synthetic base layers never did well after sweating then cooling down. This does. The zipper is nice for temp control.

Well made and will be great in this cold weather this winter.

Great quality and warm, Runs large

Very warm and comfortable as a base layer or stand alone shirt. Well styled and great interesting colors. I'll be buying a few more.

Bought this as a comfortable base layer for skiing, worked perfect. Nice enough to wear really anywhere though. If you don't want it to fit real tight, would recommend going a size up for looser feel. Not the warmest thing in the world, but easy to pair with a light outer layer. Expect lint balls to stick on the outside. All my smartwool apparel seems to be high quality, would buy again.

This shirt is so good that I purchased a second one right after the first one arrived at the house! True comfort and wicks off moisture. Feels like quality! Love the design. Primarily use it for hiking as either a stand-alone shirt or as an under layer. The 1//4 zip allows me to semi control body heat depending on activity. When zipped up, fits nicely around my neck. I also bought a lighter version because I wasn't sure just how heavy and hot this shirt would be on me. Both styles are great! This version is heavy enough to wear alone in 40 degree temps- or perfect under a light puffy jacket as a second layer in colder temperatures. I sweat alot if I don't watch what I am wearing so I was looking for a shirt that helps dissipate heat and sweat. These shirts are perfect for that. Worth every penny!

Fit just as expected, super fast shipping, as comfortable as expected and would definitely get another.

Great heat and perspiration regulation going on chilly downhills and challenging uphills hiking through the CA redwoods!

I wore this with the bottoms skiing and it was perfect. Kept it me at the perfect temperature.

Purchased for my son's 40th birthday....that's all he wears and loves the 1/4 zip! Uses for all his sports activities and even date night!!

I am a retired 65 year old and wear Smartwool most days in Winter. Smartwool merino wool sweaters crew neck and 1/4 zip go with Winter like a hot Italian expresso after a good meal . Thanks Smartwool. DanaH

Use for skiing. Great warmth and comfort. Super base layer

This is my go-to shirt to wear for all activities...especially road trips! Driving from Northern MN to Florida has a variety of temperature changes, but wearing this allows me to have a comfortable ride the entire time! #sweepstakes 6'1", 190lbs size Large fits wonderfully.

Love the fit, finish and feel ! Very impressive garment

Great base layer for very cold weather.

I'm 6'3" and 200 lbs. I use the base layer thermal most skiing cold winter days in Northern Michigan. It fits and looks great

Good wool shirt all around. I tend to have difficulty finding sleeves that are long enough and I find that these fit rather well. This is a daily wear as well as camping/hiking shirt for me and has performed well. I've long since gone to wearing exclusively wool shirt from about fall to spring. Can't beat them.

Great base layer!

Great fit and feel. Wear it all the time. #sweepstakes

My husband loves this top & would give it 10 stars if only it came in tall sizes.

I will mainly use this as a base layer for skiing and hiking, but it's good enough looking to wear by itself as well. Extremely soft and comfortable and very warm for how light a layer it is. Highly recommend.

Trying not to wear this every day. Very tempting. It's too comfortable.

I gave this as a gift, the person loves it!

This birthday gift made our friend smile. He's a physicist who has worked for NASA for years and never tried one of your space age products. My husband bought me my third 1/4 zip this holiday season and I'm still wearing the socks he bought me for a trip to vietnam. Of course I've ordered more for skiing every so often. They wear like steel. We also bought my husbands parents ninety-two years and eighty-nine years 1/4 zips this winter. They ordered more for themselves because they think they are better than cashmere. They are!!!
