A top that is likely to earn its place as your go-to for all cold-weather activity, the SmartWool Merino 250 Crew continues to shine in this category. This remarkably versatile mid-layer offers superior comfort next-to-skin, and its 100% merino wool weave provides excellent temperature regulation, moisture-wicking capability, and all-natural antimicrobial qualities. We've worn it for days on end, both at home and out on multi-day backcountry trips. Unlike its synthetic competitors, it somehow manages to be very acceptable &mdash; stench-wise &mdash; after many days between washes. This layer performs well in a wide range of temperatures, allowing you to quickly transition from static cold to high-exertion, all while staying warm, dry, and comfortable.
As expected with natural fibers, this top will begin to slouch and sag a bit through consistent wear. The Merino 250 Crew &#40;and all other merino tops we tested&#41; requires special care when laundering to ensure the garment's longevity. When the fabric becomes completely saturated, this top is comparatively slow to dry. From the crag to the mountain and then back down for a night on the town, the SmartWool Merino 250 is comfortable and stylish enough to wear every day. It excels in practically any cool- or cold-weather activity, from resort skiing to winter alpine ascents to hanging on chilly mornings on desert climbing or rafting trips.

 A merino/yak/quivut sweater also might work well. (These fabrics insulate wonderfully).

7. Ensure your wool long underwear are sufficiently weighted again 250 rather  than 150.  

2. Consider a Capilene initial base layer for your torso. Capilene Cool Daily is so silky, comfortable, non-stink, lightweight I wear it year-round.

 Ensure it's thick enough -- e.g., 250g/m2 rather than 150. The SmartWool Merino 250 Crew is a great piece of gear

I work outside year round, and temperatures range from -45C to +35C . 

On the coldest days I am not staying warm. I need some help fine tuning my layers. I currently use a wool baselayer. A long sleeve cotton shirt, a sweater and then an outer jacket. I use wool socks, wool long underwear and then cargopants topped by snow pants. 

I need help with the sweater and jacket.  Would a heavy jacket and medium weight fleece or a heavy fleece with a shell be better?

Working outside -40C help needed

 I immediately put it in the washing machine - cold water, with Tide Coldwater detergent, normal cycle (it’s 100% merino wool).  Pulled it out to hang it to dry, and it still smells. What do I do?  Not only do I not want to smell like that, I’m actually allergic to perfume so if I wear it with that stench it’s going to make me sick within a half-hour. Any suggestions????

Daily Questions Thread - November 29, 2021

This year's design feels boxier and fits worse. I have owned probably 15 of these shirts and the two I bought this year are just looser and drape more. I buy this as both a base layer and as something i wear to work in a casual workplace environment, and am really dissapointed that they have changed the slim and form fitting nature of this shirt. I'm 6,2" 175, and a medium has always been a great fit until this year

 I buy this as both a base layer and as something i wear to work in a casual workplace environment, and am really dissapointed that they have changed the slim and form fitting nature of this shirt. I'm 6,2" 175, and a medium has always been a great fit until this year.

2018 model was got worse

Ripped the tags off too soon. I'm 6'0, 180 lbs and the medium is quite loose in both torso and arms. Shoulder width, sleeve length and torso length is normal. Fortunately I know how to use a sewing machine, but this should be called regular fit, or better: sloppy American fit

 Shoulder width, sleeve length and torso length is normal. Fortunately I know how to use a sewing machine, but this should be called regular fit, or better: sloppy American fit.

Not slim fit

3. Extra socks, you'll be drying these out over the fire for sure. I use smartwool mountaineering, make sure your boots are large enough to accommodate a thick sock.

 To be lighter, bring the tiny Gerber Hatchet, it's what I have and I use my friends Fisker for chopping bigger stuff.

\*\*\*Precursor - I'm not trying to be an idiot and put myself into a situation where I might die. I'm not planning on rushing into this by any means. Before I attempt any true backpacking I plan on doing some dayhikes and car camping trips where I have multiple back-ups when it comes to more insulation and a bailout plan. I understand that being cold in winter up here is VERY different than being cold during normal 3 season (especially coming from SoCal). 

Ok with that out of the way, I'm hoping to get some advice with regards to backpacking/camping in the winter. I just moved to MN in August and have been doing some hiking around the Twin Cities and up along the Superior Hiking Trail. I have watched a bunch of Shug videos and Boundary Waters looks awesome in winter. I am trying to read up on some more info regarding below zero camping, but would love to pool some collective r/ultralight knowledge.

I created a partial lighterpack here:

[https://lighterpack.com/r/td370z](https://lighterpack.com/r/td370z)

It's just a start and heavy. Probably am missing some stuff too. I know I have a lot to learn, and definitely don't want to come off as someone who doesn't take the severity of the elements up north seriously. Just trying to gain some knowledge.

Ive camped down to 15-20 degrees in the Los Padres National forest and in Yosemite, but that is about where my normal 3 season kit taps out in terms of temps. Before I go and spend a ton of money on stuff, I wanted to get some advice particularly on the following:

* What is your layering setup when it gets well below zero overnight?
   * My current thought process is:
   * Daytime: 
      * Top - Cap Thermal, R1, Nano Air Hoody or Vest, Tachyon windshirt
      * Bottom - Cap 2, Skylight Alpha (as needed), Hiking Pants of some sort (suggestions welcome), Houdini Windpants
   * Nighttime:
      * Top - Peloton 97, Nano Air, MB Alpine Down/Mirage Parka, Rain Shell
      * Bottom - Cap LW Leggings, Skylight Alpha, Military Surplus Liner Pants, MB Versalite
* In terms of sleep insulation what does your setup look like? 
   * Does anyone know of any synthetic quilts off the shelf or with low lead times?
   * Is it worth layering quilts at these temps or is a mummy and synthetic overquilt smarter?
   * Any true zero degree bags that I should look at? Really don't want to break the bank, but also don't want to be stupid and buy something that won't get the job done.
* Footwear Suggestions? Figured I'd do a liner sock, bread bag/VBL, and then a thicker wool sock. Need advice on boots though.
* Serious question: What is the general consensus for human waste? Ground is too frozen for a cathole I'm assuming? WAG Bag? 
* Any other general knowledge/advice?

Thanks in advance!

Minnesota Late/Early Shoulder and Winter Camping

 Buy one you won't be disappointed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

 I can wear this out or as a base layer. I liked it so much that I purchased 4 others. Buy one you won't be disappointed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

Great top , buy several !

 This shirt is warm and the thickness of the fabric makes you think of fall, but I was impressed with the temperature regulation hiking out of our July overnighter spot, didn't really sweat or overheat at all. It also fits me really nicely. Props to smartwool for making their medium long enough to tuck in. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

SmartWool NTS Mid 250 Pattern Crew | Blister

Upgrade Pick

You may be surprised to discover that you actually don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a superb Merino wool top. The Meriwool Midweight Thermal offers near top-quality performance at a fraction of the cost of most of the 100% Merino tops we tested. Even though it is firmly in the midweight category, the extra-fine spun wool used to create this layer is more breathable than other directly comparable models, making it a great option for folks engaged in high-output activities like ski touring. Couple that with a slim, stylish fit, and you have a layer you can take from the mountain straight to après-ski.
With the benefits of increased breathability, you will sacrifice of a bit of warmth &mdash; don't expect this layer to be quite as warm as other 250 g/m² options included in this review. Though soft, the Merino wool is slightly itchy at first and takes some breaking in &#40;read: responsible washing and drying&#41; before it is snuggly-comfy. We hope that a future design of this shirt moves the seams off the shoulder top, which can rub when wearing a heavy pack. Beyond these small critiques, the Meriwool Midweight Thermal presents a reasonable entry-point into all-natural base layers. It is the perfect companion for cool-weather camping during the shoulder seasons, works well for both resort and backcountry skiing, and is certainly a stylish top to be worn casually.

Weight Loss Trust

 This shirt is super soft and very warm considering the weight. As I’ve been hiking I’ve really started questioning why we as humans wear anything else (then I check the prices and soon remember).  One other great thing I really appreciate is the length of the shirt. As a 6’0” tall guy who is in shape I find a lot of medium shirts to be too short and a lot of large shirts to simply be too big

I’ve always been a bit afraid of wool (afraid of itching) but took the plunge finally with this and boy am I glad I did. I went with the mid weight shirt which has been great for fall hiking. This shirt is super soft and very warm considering the weight. As I’ve been hiking I’ve really started questioning why we as humans wear anything else (then I check the prices and soon remember)

 The medium shirt length has plenty of length to spare for me.  I received this less than a week ago and have only taken it off once to wash it. Still no odor whatsoever even after an 18 mile hike through the white mountains of NH.  I have no regrets and the only question I have left is the durability - only time will tell about that but it seems durable enough so far

MERIWOOL Men's Base Layer Long Sleeve Thermal Shirt REVIEW

 Also, wool is more wind-resistant than synthetics. And wool is more durable. Wool’s downside is that it both costs more and weighs more.

Ever been deluged with positive messages about Merino wool? I have been. My friends, neighbors, professional associates, and a slew of catalogs, advertisements, and websites all toll the virtues of Merino wool and its ability to keep us warm.

Next to our skin, Merino wool is soft, stretchy, supple, and comfy. In addition, it’s finer and lighter, it’s even better at wicking sweat away from our skin, and it’s more odor-resistant.  Photo: Demina Viktoriya via Shutterstock

Next to our skin, Merino wool is soft, stretchy, supple, and comfy. It’s finer and lighter, it’s even better at wicking sweat away from our skin, and it’s more odor-resistant. In addition, Merino wool stays warm when moist or damp, protects us across a range of weather conditions and helps provide our body with excellent temperature regulation.

Analysis: Will Merino Wool Keep Us Warm While Snowshoeing?

Got these for my husband for Christmas and he LOVES them! These are true to size he usually wears and Large and got the Large in blue. Super comfortable, not skin tight, but fitted enough to wear comfortably under his sweaters and jackets. It isn't baggy or frumpy looking looks quite nice and works for layering.
