Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

Cute and warm, but very itchy, so I’m returning. The 250 base layer leggings don’t bother me—-I have even slept in the merino smart wool leggings and have two pairs. However, I could barely get through a 20 minute walk with the shirt. I took it off immediately.

I have been buying Smartwool products for many years. I love the merlino wool 250 base layers--I have worn out a couple but still own a dozen--I really live in them from fall through spring. My newest two I purchased was the crew neck style in Desert Orchid Heather and the zip neck style in Canyon Rose. The structural design has been changed with new raglan style shoulders--no more shoulder seams and full armholes. The result is the garment does not hold its shape. It becomes baggy and unflattering. I hope the older ones I have continue to wear as beautifully as they have because I won't be buying any more new ones. So sad to see a great product go down the "let's cut the production cost" road.
