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.

Great buy! 05-12-09

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.

Base or Solo Shirt 11-22-09

Bought the Rose/Smoke coloring in a Small for my wife who wears Small in Icebreaker but has gone boarderline XS in larger fitting clothing like REI or Columbia. She's probably 5'6" 120. The shirt is fitted like a baselayer very close to skin, but the coloring (Rose) doesn't allow the bra color to show through so the shirt works as a solo layer in warmer environments as well. The shirt is so soft that at first my wife didn't believe me that it was merino! Sleeves were perfect length to use the thumb holes without being too long. **Edited the stats (hopefully I don't get in trouble with the lady.)
