Description of Backcountry.com Merino Zip Tee - Long-Sleeve - Women's:
We made our Backcountry.com Women's Long-Sleeve Zip Tee with super-fine New Zealand Merino, flattering women's-specific fit flat-locked seams, and a ½ zip chest so you can tackle anything from a 5-day backpacking trip to a run around the neighborhood in complete comfort. Given its super-fine 18-micron Merino knit, the naturally odor-resistant Merino Zip Tee feels great as a next-to-skin base layer. Merino transfers your moisture just as well, if not better than most synthetic fabrics, and it won't leave you shivering after a good sweat since wool stays warm even when wet. Bust open the ½ zip neck for a little extra ventilation when you reach the top of your climb or finish your bike ride with a sprint. Thumbholes in the Merino Zip Tee's cuffs help the sleeves stay put when worn as a layering piece, and the contrast side panels put an end to being rubbed the wrong way.
Bottom Line: The Backcountry.com Long-Sleeve Zip Tee leaves stinking synthetic base layers wanting.
Sweet midweight shirt! I was very happy with the fabric and how comfortable this shirt was throughout the day. The best part about it is that I couldn't smell myself at the end of my day hiking around in the Wasatch backcountry. Super breathable and the thumbholes helped keep snow from getting up into my arms after I took a bit of a digger while skiing. I purchased a small, but it is a bit snug and am debating on getting a medium for my next purchase.
Love this shirt ... it fits a bit smaller than expected. I ordered a M because I wear a M in icebreaker shirts, but I found this fits a bit smaller than that.
I bought this at the begining of the ski season. I work outdoors at a ski resort. I wore this everyday and still fits great, and dosent hold my stink! Fits great, looks great hold up well......I also wash and dry it like a regular old t-shirt!
