Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

Amazing to car camp &sleep in, no more sweating/ waking up wet

I love these and use them both as base layers and top / outer layers. While not cashmere, they are pretty soft with a minimal itch factor against the skin, and none when a light (say, silk) under garment is worn. The variety of colors and patters are fun, and the warmth was appreciated when using as a base layer in the high Arctic.

The crew is great as a base layer and also stylish enough to wear on its own (I bought the cloud pattern).

I bought this is the base layer but it is an absolutely beautiful sweater that I would wear anywhere. It is much more beautiful than it appears in pictures

Bought this in the blueberry hill pattern. I loved it so much I bought two another.

LOVE this base layer for running in the fall, winter and spring! It is perfect. I asked my boyfriend to pick from three colors and he picked the berry color and I love it. Also love that this is 100% wool.

I have 5 of these. Look good, fit good, feel good, wash good. We'll, worth the price!

She loves it. She wears it about everywhere, even to church.

I wear it as a shirt, not just as a base layer, so I buy a size up.

I wear these almost everyday in the winter (even to the office) and have amassed a variety of colors to prove it! I followed the size chart and the fit as I expected for a base layer. I LOVE that they are 100% WOOL NO synthetics so they don't stink after a workout or a day on the slopes! The quality is great, warm, and soft. Worth every penny. My only complaint was that Moonbeam was not a true white/off white like it looked in the photo, but the return was easy.

I love my 2 smartwool sweaters. I'm an older woman so bought 1 size up since I wear them both as stand alone sweaters and really don't want them to be form fitting. They're warm and look smart with a nice pair of black pants or jeans when I go out. If you follow the laundreing instructions they always look like the day got them.

Love the crew top. It is so soft and warm but not uncomfortably hot. And it packs nicely into my suitcase.

Love this product, exactly what I was hoping for. Love the material and feel against skin nut I have one major gripe. With such comfortable material it baffles me as to why you would include a huge tag at the top and behind the neck that is so irritating??? It makes absolutely zero sense.

This is one of my favorite tops. The color and knit are gorgeous. It's so warm and soft, and it looks beautiful as well. The fit is perfect for me.

This is everything they claim. Fits great, very soft and warm. Will buy another.

Comfortable and not itchy at all. I wear this under sweaters and fleece jackets, and am usually warm enough. XS fit great - I'm 5'2" and 120 lbs. One star off because the side tag on the left is super itchy. I had to cut it off.

Like the thickness of top but the length could be 1 1/2 to 2 inches longer. I have many smart wool shirts I have purchased over the years and this one is a bit too short for me.

Love the vibrant color. So glad to see new colors:-)

This base layer feels like a warm hug. It is long enough to stay tucked in, no matter which activity engages me. One quality of wool I have always loved is its ability to breathe and adapt to temperature fluctuations. This top does that and its opaqueness lets me feel comfortable when i feel the need to strip down to my base layer. I followed the size charts carefully and the top fits as a base layer should. My only disappointment is that apparently my skin is pretty sensitive even to merino wool. Although I'm comfortable wearing it all day, when I take it off in the evening, I'm a little itchy around wrists and neck. I find a camisole under this does help and doesn't lessen the "hug" factor or its warmth. I'll be buying another in a different color, just for variety.

I love the versatility of this "base" layer. Quotations are because it works just as well when worn like a sweater. These are amazing as the wool seems to actually regulate body temps: keeps me warm but NEVER overheated. The quality is incomparably excellent. They launder well are very versatile. My husband and I are stocking up on Smartwools so we can keep the house temperature lower in an effort to combat the rising cost of heating the house. Worth. Every. Penny.

Beautiful but not very warm. I'll take that over being itchy. It's only slightly itchy when I have a jacket over it.

I bought this top for cold weather outdoor activities. So far I have used it for skiing in 10-30 degree weather. I stayed plenty warm, but never sweaty. The material is very soft and comfortable. It worked well under another long sleeve never bunching up.

This shirt is lovely, I am 5'4 and 105 lb and got size small. I wear it with another wool base layer underneath. In another words, I wear it as a sweater. I give it 4 stars only because of the colour. I got moonbeam heater, which looks stunning on the picture. In real life it's greyish with pink and baby blue streaks. I wanted a light colour, so I kept it, it's OK to wear around the house. I love Smartwool products, but I have to admit, that their colours are not flattering.
