Description of Backcountry.com Merino Bliss Lightweight Long Underwear Top - Women's:
With its soft, naturally odor-resistant 18-micron Merino wool knit and ½ neck zip, our Backcountry.com Women's Merino Bliss Lightweight Top covers you in functional comfort, minus the synthetic funk factor. We made this nest-to-skin top with ridiculously comfortable New Zealand Merino, rub-reducing flat-locked seams and side panels, and a body-heat venting ½ chest zip so you can blow off some steam after a mean summit push or a tricky boulder problem. Merino wool transfers moisture while your sweat is in its primary vapor form, so unlike most synthetic fabrics the Merino Bliss Top 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. Stash your lip balm, energy gel, or other small items in the Bliss Top's zippered chest pocket for safe keeping while you're on the go. A reflective logo hit on the Merino Bliss Top's collar 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 Bliss Lightweight Top takes you to a transcendent level of layering happiness.
Fits true to size. Although the arms are a bit baggy. I was impressed with the fit, most of the other brands that sell merino wool do not fit me at all...this one is great!
this top is long enough in the back to stay tucked into ski pants; the quality of workmanship is very good; i have worn it with a fleece pullover and a lightly lined ski jacket with temps in the low to mid 20sF and was very comfortable. Does not itch or stink. great base layer.
I have always loved Backcountry's merino wool products. Now my girlfriend loves them too. This shirt is true to size and has not shrunk much in the wash. Its one the best under layers for the winter and great for sleeping in. She is in love with it and i dont blame her! I am in love with mine too!
