Description of Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's: |
 |
Forget your fears about itchy wool—the Backcountry.com Men's Merino Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt is a whole different beast. We made this base layer with super fine 18-micron New Zealand Merino—which simply means that this shirt is so comfortable, you may never take it off. The Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt ensures comfortable, dry days whether you're out for a mid-January dawn patrol or an autumn ride down the single track. Merino transfers moisture while your sweat is in its primary vapor form, so unlike most synthetic fabrics the Merino Crew Shirt begins to pull moisture away from your body before your shirt becomes saturated. And since wet usually means cold in the backcountry, warm Merino is the way to go. The athletically-fitted Merino Crew Shirt feels great against the skin so you can wear it during your ride and then to the pub, and your post-ride car mates will thank the powers that be for Merino's natural odor-shunning properties. A reflective logo hit on the Merino Crew's front neckline ensures a little more safety during your evening runs, and the thumbholes at the cuffs take the bunch out of layering.
Bottom Line: The Backcountry.com Merino Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt—the Goat has embraced the sheep. Lucky you.

| Awesome!!! 01-27-09 |
Matthew Tabrys (52):  |
| I recently bought one of these and this thing is awesome! This is my new favorite base layer. I'm 5'8", 160, 38.5" chest, and I opted for the small. It fit really well, tight like a base layer should. It breathes extremely well. It kept me dry the entire day. Even though it is wool, it is merino wool, so it didn't itch me at all. Even in colder weather, I wore just this under my shell, it still kept me pretty warm. The length is a little on the long side which is great, because you can tuck it into your ski pants and help seal it up and keep some snow out, and the heat in. It felt great, and did exactly what it was supposed to do. The best part is that after a day of riding, there is no odor retention. So if you are going on a weekend trip or what not, this would be perfect. My only complaint, was that the sleeves were a tad on the long side. Wasn't really an issue at all, just something to be aware of for potential buyers. |

| I have two of these, along with the Zip Tee and a Patagonia Wool 3 that round out my baselayer quiver and I must say these BC.com crew shirts not only feel good, but look good as well. The thumbholes are trully a godsend, and the material is incredibly comfortable. Note: The Crew is made in China, the Zip Tee is made is Canada. Honestly, the Chinese made garment is just as good. |
