Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Hoodie

5 stars. I love this hoody. we live in a cold house. I wear it all day and often sleep wearing this hoodie. I'd like to see a heavier weight version with same design.

This is the second color of hoodie for my son. He loved the first one and wanted another. It is lightweight but warm, so it works over a wide range of temperatures, alone on cool days and as a base on cold days.

I'm 6" 1' tall and I ordered a large. This is definitely one of the softest bass layers I've ever had the fit the length the cut everything about it is absolutely perfect and definitely recommend it to others

This is nice and warm. Thick, comfortable merino wool that is well-made. Would buy again!

The fit is pretty spot on. It is soft, comfortable, and warm without being too bulky or heavy. The only thing that it is lacking is thumb holes.

Fits great, soft and comfortable. Looks cozy and feels even better!

My favorite brand of wool base layers will be my go to on the EBC trek in Nepal in Oct 2025

This is my go to winter weight base layer top. Warm and stylish!

The hood works very nice under a helmet for skiing. Keeps warm and dry. Perfect for what it's built for.

Excellent Base

Love it. Comfortable and warm. Use it as a layer for everything from hunting to cycling and running

This is the second one I've purchased. I enjoyed all my SmartWool and Hoodie. It's pretty much as a lifestyle with me in my Training.

Excellent gift for a friend.

I have the wool hoody on right now. It is just what I was looking for and will be the basis of my Fall and Winter wardrobe

Great fit, perfect weight. This hoodie is very comfortable.

Keeps my body and head warm on the mountain!

Super comfortable and would buy again. Already checking out future purchases for me and my family

Warm and cool

I'm 6'4'' tall, long arms, and slim in the body. I struggle to find garments that are long enough in the sleeves and tall enough in the body, but aren't too baggy in the chest and stomach. This piece has perfect length in the arms and a torso that is long enough you wont be getting a cold draft up your back. It comes down to my hips and as a tall person, I love that. It's a slim fit so it's not baggy around my chest and stomach, so the fabric stays close to your body. If you are bigger in the chest I don't think it will be constricting. Fits very true to size and the fabric is soft and flexible. Wore it as a base layer skiing and snowshoeing in the PNW and kept me warm and dry. Can't speak for durability as its fairly new to me, but everything about this piece is perfect. Hood fits over a hat and under a helmet. Fabric feels amazing, soft and smooth. Worth every penny.

I bought this hoodie for frequent and multi-use wear: running, hiking, and daily use. So far I'm very happy with it. It's very odor resistant, so I don't need to wash it often. The sleeves have stretched out a bit at the wrists, but not too bad. With a t-shirt under it I use it for runs when the outside temperature is 33-45F. I bought a "Large" which fits me well (5'11", average weight).

Love it.

Fit's perfectly and is warm enough to wear in the really cold weather and cool enough to wear when it's just a bit chilly outside. I normally wear a Large but had to get this in XL. Just be aware that the sizes run small

I'm 5'6" and 150-ish lbs, and this hoody fits great. It's soft, warm, great for both active pursuits and wearing around town. The hood fits well, especially around the chin where other hoodies are often loose. Highly recommend for a versatile and stylish warm layer. #sweepstakes

Love it. Fits good, is warm and looks good. Very happy with my purchase!

Use this as a second layer while hiking in Colorado. While hiking in the high 40s/low 50s I was perfectly comfortable.
