MERIWOOL Mens Base Layer 100% Merino Wool Midweight 250g Half Zip Sweater for Men

I was hesitant about this purchase - merino has become a fad and any number of questionable companies have jumped on the bandwagon, selling products of dubious quality. I am happy to say that this product is not one of those, but is quite good. I waited to write this review until after I had worn this base layer many times, for casual and high-exertion activities (skiing). While it doesn't quite live up to the standards of the big name merino-wear companies (which it is directly patterned on, BTW), it is most definitely not a low-quality rip-off. This is a heavy-weight base layer or mid-weight shirt. I only wear it for skiing / snow sports in very cold conditions (but note that I run hot when under high exertion, YMMV), but it also serves very well as an every day shirt in cool-to-cold weather. It looks reasonably stylish, fits well (size S - I am 5'6" 145 lbs) and is reasonably comfortable as well. So far it has shown no signs or wear and tear, hopefully it lasts a good long while.

I ordered this like so many other things, prepared to send it back. Im so impressed with the construction fit and value that I wouldnt think of giving it up. No info on durability, but Im not worried. Nice material, good construction! Warmth wise I would say its about like a sweatshirt hoodie, but feels much nicer and isint at all as bulky. Fit: Im 6'2" 215lbs athletic. I bought XL and its perfect, fitted but not tight. More importantly the length is generous. Its cut slightly longer in the back and it comes down to about my jean pockets. Ill be buying more from these guys!

This is a great sweater. It fits on the snug side. The medium weight is great for pretty much any occasion. Bought for travel, and is versatile enough to wear out to dinner with a nice pair of slacks or as an under layer for sports. It appears to be very good quality, although I have not washed it yet. Like most wool sweaters, washing by hand, and laying flat to dry, will probably keep it in great shape for a long time. I was happily impressed with it.

I typically wear a large shirt so I ordered this in large. It fits well but it a bit tighter than I expected. It's not uncomfortable and probably keeps me warmed with a snug fit than a loose fit. Maybe that's by design. Regardless, it's definitely great value for the money. I would also add that all of the Merino wool sellers would have you believe it doesn't itch. If you're thinking it will feel like cotton or a synthetic on your skin, don't be fooled. This is still wool. It definitely doesn't itch like a big ole wool sweater but it does have a tingle to it. I like the feel of wool on my skin so it doesn't bother me.

One of my favorites. Real happy with the quality and fit on the shirt

Quality. Soft. Warm. I've tried a few other Base Layer products. Mostly made from blends of polyester, and polyester-merino. This is my first 100% Merino Wool made one. I was skeptical (even throughout researching). Wasn't really sure how much of a difference it would be. Wanted to take a chance to find out first hand. Noticeable difference! Mostly the feel. But also, some extra warmth holding. The weight of the base layer certainly makes a difference. This base layer is a bit heavier than the others I've tried. I've never had the option of picking the weight. I'm glad "Meriwool" Brand gives that option. Granted, it's been some years since I've invested back into Base Layers thus quite possibly more company's off the weight choosing option... But I digress. Good investment! I decided to purchase another in a different color. For the price, I certainly don't feel ripped off or cheated! Like I said, it was a good investment. I love the half-zip styles and this of course has that feature as well. Bring on Cold Weather!

For us the 350 gram model is the og, but this is quite nice as well. Layers well, great for snow sports and general wear in winter. We machine-wash and "drape-dry" on a drying rack, no problems after two years of this. Gets worn a lot!

This is excellent! Wore it on a few different hiking excursions. Definitely keeps you warm, a bit itchy, but I got used to it pretty quick. Dried out pretty quickly and kept NO SMELL! On another occasion I wore it every day for a week as a base later when temps were low and again, super comfy, no smell! Will buy again; probably another long sleeve, but without the zip.

Es calida para entretiempo, al ser algo delgada se requiere de otras prendas para que sea realmente calida. Está bien para usarse en entretiempo cuando no hace frio extremo.

The fit was perfect for me. I'm 5'10" 183lbs. Super soft, quality made product. I'm sold on Meriwool. I wear this under a Gortex shell at 3-5 deg C. Walking at a good pace body temp is perfect. (9-10min/KM). Well worth the price!!

I’ve been a user of merino wool for years. This top fit fine. It’s not extremely cold for me to be able to have an opinion as to whether the mid weight is better or not than what I’ve bought in the past. But happy with my purchase.

This is my 5th of these tops both zipped & without a zip.They are so comfortable wash great.Will probably buy a few more.My new go too top.I’m 80KG & 6’ & find the medium size fits me perfectly(it’s a close fit which how it should be)Delivery was quick too considering they come from USA.Highly recommended.

Funciona perfecto como first layer, la use en un ascenso al Izta y me protegió del frío y además no guarda olores.
