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 Merino 250 Long Sleeve 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.
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. One thing you do lose with the price of the Merino 250 is durability: the extra-fine fibers are no match for anything abrasive, so keep this base layer away from your rock climbing and canyoneering trips. Beyond these small critiques, this layer 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 stylish enough to be worn casually.

Base layer top is heavy, go with merino 250. Ditch the mug. Ditch the cork ball-everyone I know that brought one sent it home. Get a different bidet, backcountry bidet weighs like 1 oz

 

**Location/temp range/specific trip description:** PCT NOBO from Campo, March 3rd

**Non-negotiable Items:** Tent

**Additional Information:** Since I'm starting early I'm starting with heavier base layers and cold weather gear that I don't carry often and will likely ship them home or to WA after the Sierra's which have been marked by \*. 

This is also my first thru hike and want to make sure I am not carrying anything unnecessary (besides my camera set up)

PCT NOBO Shakedown Request

I'd go with Smartwool 250. 100% merino. Don't wash it too much, let it air dry and it'll retain its shape and last for a long time.

Hello all! I’ve been shopping around for base layers, specifically merino and I’m wanting some advice.

I purchased the merino wool 80%, polyester 20% long sleeve extreme merino from Mountain Warehouse and I wore it this past weekend. I loved how warm it kept me and that it didn’t smell but it stretched out so much, like 2 sizes more than when I got it. Also, it started pilling between my thighs after 2 nights. Given that I purchased it for $55 I’m looking to give something else a go. 

I’ve seen that sportchek has helly hansen 100% merino long sleeves for around $60 on sale and I’m debating about purchasing one. 

What I want to know is if merino wool/polyester blends are known to stretch a stupid amount. Also would you recommend the blends or a 100% merino shirt given the details and criteria I have listed below. 
I’ve been checking out used gear sites and thrift stores but nothing is meeting my needs unfortunately. 


Important details: 
- Chest is 38 inches
- Medium in shirt. Want this base layer to fit snug. 
- Budget is $80 for a long sleeve shirt 
- I am a 23 year old female
- Warmth and reducing odours are most important
- Will be used for sleeping in a tent back country in Ontario (mostly around Algonquin from late summer to mid October)

Advice, comments, suggestions and links are all appreciated! Thanks in advance. Looking forward to reading your replies!

Advice wanted for women’s merino wool base layers!

 In terms of wash and wear the base layer bottoms have met my expectations. I have washed these pants somewhere between 20 to 30 times at this point and I've only noticed minor balling along the seams. I should note I'm diligent about hang drying any of my Smartwool products to keep them looking new and I do recommend that you do the same. So for those of you looking to keep warm and active throughout the winter check out the Smartwool Merino 250 bottom base layer

 Krista here from Get Out There Magazine and these are the Merino 250 Women's Bottom Base Layer by Smartwool. My first impression of these base layer pants, they are way softer than I would have imagined. Last year I tested the women's PhD printed tights which included a combination of merino wool, nylon and elastane. For some reason I was expecting the same type of material but that's not the case at all

Smartwool Merino 250 Bottom Baselayer- Tested & Reviewed

 Krista here from Get Out There Magazine and these are the Merino 250 Women's

 Bottom Base Layer by Smartwool. My first impression of these base layer

 pants, they are way softer than I would have imagined. Last year I tested the

 women's PhD printed tights which included a combination of merino wool,

 nylon and elastane. For some reason I was expecting the same type of material but

 that's not the case at all. This base layer is 100% merino wool creating a

 softer, thinner material when compared to the PhD printed tight. There is however

 still a stretchiness to them that make them extremely comfortable. The wider

 band at the top that you can see here also adds to comfort level as you don't

 get any of that uncomfortable pinching at your waist. Over the past six to eight

 weeks I've used these base layer pants for various outdoor adventures from

 hikes to snowshoeing to ice fishing and conditions ranging from plus five

 degrees Celsius to minus 25 degrees Celsius and I've definitely been

 impressed with their warmth and wear. Though you will find yourself getting a

 little too warm if you're doing any brisk activity in weather above zero

 degrees Celsius. What you need to know before buying any Smartwool base layers

 is that they come in different warmth levels. The Merino 150s are created as a

 year-round base layer for more mild weather whereas the 250s which is what

 I have here are for cool to cold weather. Though Smartwool doesn't get specific

 with actual temperature ranges use your best judgment on your personal activity

 level and what you'll be using these base layer pants most commonly for. The

 250s have been a great choice for me considering the colder winter we've had

 and the fact that I still like to get active outside despite the cold. That

 being said I've also found myself wearing them around the house they are

 just that comfortable. In terms of wash and wear the base layer bottoms have met

 my expectations. I have washed these pants somewhere between 20 to 30 times

 at this point and I've only noticed minor balling along the seams. I should

 note I'm diligent about hang drying any of my Smartwool products to keep them

 looking new and I do recommend that you do the same. So for those of you looking

 to keep warm and active throughout the winter check out the Smartwool Merino

 250 bottom base layer. For more information you can check out the

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.

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.

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

 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. Hoping to pick up both a light weight and a heavy weight shirt as well as a pair of leggings before winter comes.

Warm, soft, comfortable and good for tallish guys

 Merino wool won't itch or scratch super soft and breathable 100 natural super fine, 18.5 micron merino wool is soft and breathable ensuring comfort all day. It doesn't itch and will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter 250 grams per square meter weight, interlock, knit merino. Wool can be used as a base, layer or mid layer, but won't weigh you down
