Why choose it

Merino wool naturally regulates your body temperature, keeping you warm when it's cold and cool when you work up a sweat. The fabric wicks moisture away from your skin, dries quickly, and resists odors, so you stay fresh through multi-day adventures. The slim fit and flatlock seams ensure a smooth, non-bulky layer that moves with you.

Ideal use cases

• Skiing and snowboarding as a base layer under insulated gear
• Winter hiking and snowshoeing for breathable warmth
• Everyday cold-weather wear as a comfortable, odor-resistant top
• Travel and commuting in chilly climates

Good to know

ZQ certification guarantees ethical wool sourcing and environmental responsibility. The interlock knit provides durability and a soft hand feel, while the shoulder panel design reduces irritation when carrying a pack. This base layer is a versatile staple for any cold-weather wardrobe.
