Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

#Sweepstakes After having their all season or originally 150 merino clothing, this thermal merino is perfect for those cold morning runs. Just enough to keep me nice and warm without being too overbearing. I'm also excited to start using this in my backpacking trips soon.

Great fit. Most base ware come up a touch short in the sleeve, not this one. The fabric is soft and is warm with minimal bulk. I used it over my sun hoodie on canoe camping trips in the evening were temps got down to about 50F.

I use this as a base layer, but also as a warm casual shirt.

I use this I own a few of the MEN'S CLASSIC THERMAL MERINO BASE LAYER fo walking/jogging on cool fall mornings but this toasted coconut color is why I made this purchase

Lightweight and warm. I use this when I hike

I just packed them in my luggage for my Canadian moose hunt. That's great and will do a good job.

Haven't really has a chance to test this out in the field but feels soft and warm!

Beautiful layer on a chilly day.

I bought because I love the color, have several other but other colors. As summer comes, this shirt will stay out for the days it gets cool here in the mountains of Colorado, and will be a great addition to my winter wear. As I work outside in the cold for hours.

Love it!

Love the look and ferl

Planning 3 week trip to Scandinavia and want to travel light.

Great design, very comfortable. Works well for a cold day in California and traveling.

Comfortable and warm. I wear as a baselayer for downhill skiing against my skin. Medium size is perfect-I am 6' tall -175 lbs - 42" chest. If I had a large, it might be a bit too long.....

I have this shirt in multiple colors and wear it over a Prana cotton T-shirt in the Fall, Winter and Spring. They did change the fit slightly--it looks better in the shoulders but the arms are slightly shorter. I wash mine in warm water and then hang dry (I pull a little on the arms to get the length back which has worked fine for me over the last 5+ years. PLEASE BRING BACK THE NAVY COLOR! I need to replace the one I currently have--it developed holes in the elbows (which is the only place this shirt seems to break down for me). I can appreciate new colors and that you still offer black and gray, it would be nice if navy blue was part of the conservative staple and it would still give those who are not so bold consistent color options. Also, PLEASE BRING BACK THE HUDSON SWEATER IN THE ORIGINAL FABRIC. I will layer this over the Thermal Long-Sleeve. The second generation Hudson is made from a different material that (I believe is more eco-friendly) is warmer but not as comfortable. It would be a unfortunate to decide to discontinue such a great sweater because the new material was not well received. I only wear Smartwool socks, even the everyday dress socks for the office. Wool is an amazing natural material: insulates when wet, order-free after days of backpacking, and helps regulate temperature across a broad range of temperatures. I'm always searching to dial in my gear, clothes, etc. and this product is one I have not upgraded, hence, the shirt I wore today with holes in the elbows. It attracts comments from my friends but I don't care. Please bring back the navy blue color!

I wear it as a base layer and as a sweater layer for warmth and style.

My Smartwool baselayers are simply the best things in my wardrobe. I wear them for almost three seasons here in the Northeast and even on some cool summer nights. I love them because they are so smooth under layers that top layers never snag or bunch like other baselayers might. I also wear them as a long sleeve pullover on it's own and always look neat and stylish. Couldn't be happier with them.

Favorite thermal

Love Smartwool's base layers. Just the right weight to wear for everyday activities.

everyday wear. love it.

soft, comfortable, looks good keeps me warm

Use this for skiing. Gave up my Under Armor cold gear for this. It's much better for temperature regulation. Switched out medium for large returns a little slow.

very warm base layer in cold country. have several. by the way, Smartwool customer service is outstanding, should you have a concern w/your purchase.

I bought this to replace one I bought ten years ago and it’s just as comfortable as the old one. I love this shirt. Awesome base layer.

My husband said it is good.
