Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 150 Baselayer Pattern Short Sleeve

Fit is more form fitting than sport 150. Dusk marble wash is very cute. Fabric is very soft even after washing, but hems at bottom and sleeve ends wrinkled after washing, which is why I am only giving it 4 stars. Love how merino wool insulates and self regulates temperature and nothing beats it to prevent odor!

First thing I thought upon opening the packaging was 'wow! This is soft'. Next to skin feel is great and the lightness of the 150 weight makes it perfect for doing anything active in. I love the idea of the plant based tie dyed look and think the could have taken it even farther with the darker tones. One note is that sweat spots do show up if working out in but that is to be expected with any shirt of a lighter tone. Overall very pleased with this shirt. #SmartwoolLove

Pros: super comfortable , Soft, Long enough for this long torso gal! Not tight (which is hard to find in the merino world), just all around comfy. I wore it for 4 days straight(I haven't washed it yet ) Very warm I almost don't want to wear a jacket but I need to keep the arms warm. Overall Really like this top, bought 3 I am 5"9 175 and I really like the fit of the XL it's loose but I like loose. I could of got a L if I was truly wanting this for a base layer but I want to just wear this as an everyday t-shirt Cons: lighter gray color is a bit more shear then the peacock and forest green color and it also feels different, I don't know why the grey is different but it's almost a tad scratchy and not as soft. Another huge down to this top which is why I can only give it 4 stars is the tag placement.. it's just in a very strange spot. It sits in between the hip and stomach and it's just VERY annoying.

Bought this shirt for comfort during aerobic outdoor exercise. The bright habanero color is good for additional visibility while riding my bike. Today was warm and rainy and I wore this shirt in comfort while bike-riding through the rain, then kept it on and worked at the barn and rode two horses wearing the same shirt as the day cooled. This shirt kept me comfortable the whole time. Four stars not five is because the shirt is cut slightly too narrow through the hip, but the short sleeve is the perfect length, not too short like some women's shirts. Four and a half stars!

Soft material. Fits loosely and comfortably. Neutral colors

I have only worn this a could of times. Its comfortable. I like.

At first I was skeptical about using a short sleeve shirt as a base layer but it was perfect during cold weather and under other layers.

Love this product, though I always wear long sleeve vs short sleeve.

Seems nice enough, but not unusual in any way. Mostly I use short-sleeved base layers, but I've worn this under my bike jersey on cold, but not too cold, rides.

Haven't worn outside yet, but it's super soft and comfy. Fits very well. It'd work well even as a regular shirt.

I would have giving this a five star. The sizing chart indicates that I am a medium. But small fits me perfectly and medium makes me look grumpy. I am not happy with the look. I would have warn this everyday if it was a small. I was able to wear this from Vancouver (9) to Los Angeles (19) and feel just right. I usually feel cold on the plane but this kept me comfortable (with a jacket). When I get hot flashes, this is more tolerable.

Fit is good but material blend no longer has the nice sheen to it. Just a T-Shirt and not easy to dress up like the previous blend.

These are terrific tees!! However, the fuchsia turned out to be much darker than I expected. A lighter version of this too would have been fine. Color is extremely important to me. Regardless of the fine quality of these tees, I simply won't wear colors that I don't like and that are unflattering. Some of us don't want to blend into the trees or grass. Smartwool, you could use pointers from that "Color Me Beautiful" book by Carole Jackson.

I use this shirt for hiking in warm weather and I am happy with the quality of the product and it's ability to not retain odor. What I was surprised at, and not too happy about, was that the fabric is quite scratchy, especially when compared with the other Merino wool products I've bought from Smartwool, which are very soft.

The fit on this was more clingy than I lik for short sleeves. Too abad, if it fit like the graphic tee I would buy all the colors

I love the color (dusk marble), and, in general, the fit isn't too bad when it's dry, but it feels bigger than my 250 baselayer tops (all of which are size M) and it's a good inch or more longer. The fact that its a little big wouldn't typically be a big deal, however, when I wear the shirt while hiking and running and start to get sweaty, it gets even bigger, so that it's coming down over my hips and butt and is just hanging off me. It's very uncomfortable to say the least. I'm wondering if I should have ordered a small. For reference, I'm 5'7", 135-ish lbs, 34B.

I love my black 150 T and it's a staple in my wardrobe. I purchased the purple tie dye and sage colors recently and they are not at all the same. They're soft in a way that's weird, like they lack the structure and fitted feel my other shirt has. They seem to run much larger than my black t and fit me baggy and end up being way too long. I'm 5'2" and 120. I can't size down either. Hopefully the regular dye shirts are the same so I can just buy those.

The fabric of this shirt is very soft and comfortable. However, the style is yuck. As an active woman who wears a D cup and has hips, I hate the way this shirt is super tight around the bottom, more like it would be for a men's fit shirt. They should make some of these shirts for curvy women! I would buy another shirt like this if they were to re-engineer the shape because the fabric is nice, but the fit is just awful.

I liked it. I have a lot of base layers. This didn't stand out in any way but I'm sure it will perform well.

I was hoping this would be an improvement over the last 150 tee and closer to the iteration before that. What kills the cut is the raglan sleeve that flares at the arm and leaves excess draping in the underarms. The upside is it seems longer and fits in the torso more than the last design and they got rid of the elastic collar and sleeves that didn't hold up very well after washes. Still not sold on the wrap around side seam as it just became more of a pain to fold as time went by. Will still always long for the crew neck design with the flat lock seams that came in the box as those held up so much better. Searching elsewhere for new everyday tees.

The gray fabric is so thin you can see a dark bra through it.

I travel extensively and have been using Smartwool base layer tee's as undergarments for years because of the quality and odor protection. I bought 3 new ones (2 black, 1 blue) and have been so disappointed for one major reason. After several months of use and washings, the necklines on all 3 are totally stretched and bagging. I am embarrased to wear them if any part of the neckline is visible. My older tees had a double stitched neckline and never bagged. These are terrible. I am going to see if I can return under the quarantee policy. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the double stitch necklines are still made

The cascade purple is a very pretty color. The shirt is very light, very thin, tight and see-through. Unfortunately, not was I was looking for.

I'm not a fan of this brand. There is little stretch.

I've owned over 40 of these in black; they have been part of my everyday uniform for years. One, because I liked the former material, and two, because they develop holes and wear out so very easily (both the old style and the new style). If you're getting the "new" style - that's the one with the rainbow inside the collar and what they're currently selling here - this material is awful. (And why did they add that scratchy rainbow collar?) Is there less merino wool in this "new and improved" version? The old material would never smell and I could wear for days on end if backpacking. The new ones smell terrible after a night out on the town. (I walk a lot, and I don't wear deodorant) Although I was promised the new ones were better quality, they wear down just as fast because I have to wash them three times as often. Both styles, old and new, have always had very off sizing. I wear a size L in almost any other brand, but the Smartwool XS fits everything as it should *except* for in the chest area where it's too small; however the S is far too baggy everywhere else. Also, watch the vertical stitching really carefully the waist area - I liked the contouring, but it's often stitched asymmetrical and that just looks weird. I'm really annoyed I need to go find a new everyday shirt now.
