SmartWool Midweight Zip T-Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

SmartWool Midweight Zip T-Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's description

Wear the SmartWool Men's Midweight Zip-T long-sleeve shirt for stop-and-go aerobic activities or as a warm base layer. This top is ideal for situations where the weather and temperature fluctuate, like in alpine environments. SmartWool's porous natural fibers move moisture while it is still in vapor form before it has a chance to condense on your skin; you stay drier and more comfortable throughout your alpine foray. By comparison, synthetics transport moisture after it condenses; you must visibly sweat before any moisture management begins, which leads to chills once you stop moving. SmartWool fiber is also highly adaptable to a broad range of conditions; it keeps you warm when you rest and cool when your pulse and core temperature heat up. This naturally anti-microbial shirt features a -length Zip-T collar for increased ventilation control. Flatlock-seam construction reduces chafing, and an active fit allows for bulk-free layering that doesn't inhibit your freedom of movement.

Bottom Line: This Midweight deals out heavyweight thermoregulation.

This is a spectacular shirt for a mid-weight top. I have 2 Icebreaker shirts, light and a mid crew, this layer is in- between the weights and feels very smooth on the skin. I tried an Ibex top and this fit tighter and and had less itch. The fit is very form fitting but stretches well for a lightweight under it. We will see how durable it is since this is their (merino) weakness. The collar is also a perfect fit, and I am pickey. Get one now, merino rules w/ no plastic smell and no static!

Totally a lady getter... they'e all like "ohh it's sooo soft" and then they lean in for a feel and that's when you know you've got them. I usually am dressed as a giant prawn as part of my job and this shirt keeps me dry and medium to heavy comfortable. The prawn costume is NOT easy to get off (63 buttons) so I am in it for long periods. Its not very wide but the claws make it a bit cumbersome. I travel as part of a medium large group of prawns and this shirt keeps us all feeling great inside our sometimes hot costumes. Thanks smartwool.
