Excellent for cycling, 07 November 2011
By Nige (Coventry)
I wear this and a breathable Rab vapour rise jacket for cycling in the cold weather and it is great.
It doesn't stop you building a sweat, but it does keep you comfortable and it breaths very well to keep you comfortable.
No smell, even after a few days sweating in it.
I'm definitely going to be buying a couple more of these.
Merino Wool Base Layer, 10 May 2010
By Tom (Swindon`)
After i got myself one of these i spent i couldn't wait to try it out. I spent a weekend in it and would recomend it to others.
It keeps you warm even when you stop for a break and of course because its merino wool, it doesn't stink!
It feels a bit coarse on your skin but its not itchy. After a minute or two you forget you are wearing it.
My only fault is the quality of the thumb loops: the threads on mine are starting to come undone and i think this may become a problem after a few more uses.
Cheap fully featured merino base-layer, 26 January 2010
By celtic walker (Wexford)
Merino wool can absorb 30% of its weight of water. Its an excellent baselayer fabric and never feels wet and clamy. This top is very cheap as merino goes. the wool is slightly coarser than an Icebraker but not itchy. It comes with the added features of a venting neck zip for on the move adjustment and thumb loops. Washes really well and keeps its shape if popped into washer then left to dry naturally.
