Description of Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's: |
|
Forget your fears about itchy wool—the Backcountry.com Women'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. With its flattering women's-specific fit and rub-reducing raglan sleeves, the Merino Crew Shirt offers both outdoor function and casual comfort. 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: Don the Backcountry.com Women's Long-Sleeve Merino Crew Shirt and become a Merino believer, or a day dream believer—either way, we're stoked for you.

| Still great, but personally loved last year's version a lot better 04-10-09 |
Re Wikstrom (163):  |
| Still a solid choice, but last year's version was a lot better. They are both long which is great for a base layer top so it is less likely to ride up, but this newer one is tighter in the hip/butt area which is not as functional for most women (hello people, women have hips!) so it tends to ride up a little anyway, despite the length. I have to try and stretch this one out a little before wearing it unlike the one I purchased last year which is still a perfect fit.
Last year's color choices were a lot better too, loved the charcoal one especially and do not like having such light colors in my base layers (this year's). It would have been nice to have one darker color option available. And normally I would be all over a green option, but that "guacamole" looks like vomit. Sorry guys!
To end on a high note, i still love the material and the weave they use. A nice flat smooth finish to this merino that is more like a jersey knit (but not as stretchy as cotton jersey) and good flat lock seems. And performance of the merino during activity is stellar. |

| Got the quarter zip last year, and wasn't disappointed with the new offerring. Got the guac/smoke and the color is great. Fit is great - nice length in the body and sleeves.

| this is a go-to shirt for me when I want something I can layer over a short sleeve and then tie around my waist when I heat up. I would size up if you want to layer it over things, or buy your regular size if you are wearing it alone. It is definitely a slimmer fit. |
