Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

No complaints at all

I will only ever wear Smartwool socks for the rest of my life.

I gave it as a gift to my granddaughter and she was very happy with it. She loves your line of clothing. Very satisfied with our purchase.

These are so great. I want more will never go back to my old clothes.

It was a gift for a sibling. It doesn't absorb moisture so it keeps them dry and warm. Beautiful design. It's worn as a base layer..

Great quality and very comfortable. Very cute and easy to wear after skiing since it hardly looks like a base layer if you get a solid colour. Very warm, went skiing in weather below -20 degrees Celsius and was comfortable.

Recently moved to a colder climate and this Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer Crew is warm and comfortable.

It does tend to run a bit small- so be mindful of that when ordering. I love the flower design of the one I ordered and have gotten so many compliments on it. Great for winter running!

Have 7 of the merino base layers in different colors and wear them every day in winter. Comfortable, breathable and easy to wash. They are my favorite!

Keeps me warm in our cold house and on outdoor hikes!

Great quality, durable and warm!

These base layer long sleeve crew shirts are great! I bought one during a sale and ended up liking it so much that I bought 2 more. Smartwool's website offers several more colors than local stores, so from now on I'll go straight to the source. I just wish I'd also bought the base layer pants during the sale, especially now that it's colder! Fit / Quality The fit and cut are good and accurate for wearing as a base layer that isn't loose, but neither is it uncomfortably snug. I'm 5'3", 117 lbs, B Cup, athletic build and wear the XS. I could probably wear a size S by itself, but the S might be too loose to work well under a sweatshirt/sweater, cycling jacket, etc. These base layer shirts are warm, soft, comfortable, and good quality. One of them felt scatchy once on my upper back, but I suspect it was due to dry skin. Normally they are not itchy/scatchy at all. It's late December and I'm wearing at least two per week since buying them in mid November. Care Easy care with machine washing and drying. To save electricity, I usually hang my clothes to dry for a few hours before drying for 10 - 15 minutes in the dryer, but I've completely dried one of these in the dryer and it did just fine. Use I wear these at home, running errands, shoveling snow, hiking, and biking. They are nice enough that I wear them under an open cardigan sweater or jacket for dinner, work, etc. Recommend 100% Reccomend! I will definitely buy another one when needed! I love these shirts!

Wear them for snowboarding and playing outside with the kids. Always warm!!!

I love this top as it fits close to the body for additional layering and warmth. The colors and design go with a lot of my pants and tops, making it very versatile. It is go to base layer for me.

Need to remember NOT to put in the dryer. It lasts a very long time when not put into the dyer.

Getting older and love my wool sweaters and cardigans to stay warm, but cotton tanks and pullovers just don't add any warmth. It's hard to find something 100% wool and not a blend. I don't wear plastic fibers so this is fantastic. And yes, I did the burn test on some fibers from the seams and it IS 100% wool. I once purchased something that was even stamped 100% wool and it was 100% synthetic (another company), so I am very pleased that this is the real deal and a great weight. If I win a gift card for writing a review, I'm buying another one of these first thing! Great fit and comfortable. No itching at all. It says machine wash but I hand wash and drip dry. Easy peasy.

Every Smartwool product I have purchased to date has more than lived up to its description. So - when planning an upcoming winter backpacking trip, I splurged on a set of thermal base layers. After my first day of below freezing temperature hiking, I came home and promptly ordered another set. My base layers kept me warm without making me hot and sweaty. Looking forward to being comfortable on my January hike.

Bought so my wife can stay warm icefishing and winter hiking.

I run outside all winter long and finally bout this shirt. It is the best cold weather shirt I have bought. Worth every penny! I need to get another one.

I ski about three days a week in winter, and bought one of these years and years ago. It was time to buy another so I was thrilled to see the design, feel and fit remained all these years later. It is my absolute favorite base layer -- from a drawer that has about eight different brands. I always reach for my favorite Smartwool shirt when I need something warm and soft.

Highly recommend

Great winter design motif . Makes a great Holiday gift

Bought two of these for my son's girlfriend who is a park ranger in Colorado! She is very happy and warm! Fits perfectly under her uniform.

Softer than expected, sized up for extra comfort, thinner than expected but still retained heat well - steam came off me when I opened my outer layer in 9 weather. Would buy many more if price wasn't investment level even after new customer promo code.

Buy it. Just spend the money and you won't regret it. You'll never buy anything else besides wool for winter wear again. It's magic. For sizing: I am a 5'6" 120 lbs woman. I take a Small in every color except the Black. If you look at the model wearing the Black, it looks more form-fitting with less 'give' than all the rest... and that's because it is! I had to return the Black in my size. I own three other base layers all sized Small, and they all work perfectly. If I really wanted to order the Black again I would order a Medium. For the bottoms, I take a Medium, and that's because the waist band for the bottoms to designed too tightly as well. The medium offers more give and it more comfortable, even though I 'technically' am a Small. If you're my size, order a Medium for the jackets as well. (Nothing will keep you warmer in the freezing cold than a 100% merino wool base layer, a regular T-shirt on top, and either one of their Smartloft jackets or Active Fleece Full or 1/2 Zip Pullover. It's incredible how warm that combo is.)
