Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

I could outfit a small town with the number of base layers I've tried over the years ... until now. I will be donating all of the other stuff and loading up on this product. The MOST comfortable against-the-skin product I've ever worn. Silky smooth but toasty warm while still allowing the comfort across all temps that merino brings to the equation. My only regret -- I didn't find it sooner. 5 10" 185 lbs and love the fit of a large.

it is true to size, has a nice feel, and is very comfortable; it pills very easily. My older one does not show that propensity.

Very comfortable. Used as base or night shirt.

New buyer, with no use experience yet for performance

Fits well and has performed well.

I really like these. I used these while duck hunting in Arkansas; very comfortable, lightweight, and after three days of wear didn't smell.

Good quality

It's the warmest base layer I've ever had for winter golf. Awesome!

Great quality. Love the material. I only wish it was more affordable.

The product is as advertised however I purchased 2, was charged for 2 and I only received 1! Repeated attempts to reach customer service by phone have been unsuccessful. I've been a regular customer for years. This time around I'm very disappointed.

I use it as a base layer. It is warm, comfortable and fits well. I'm 5'9", 135 lbs and small fits well.The shirt is long. It tucks easily but it is so long you may not to wear it without tucking.

I wear this too for both casual and outdoor pursuits. Great fit. The free socks I ordered never came!

I initially just bought one of these to use as a mild weather layer when I go camping in the hills of Kentucky in the fall. I haven't treated that initial shirt lightly when wearing but I do follow the care instructions for cleaning. It has remained a phenomenal base layer! I even like the comfort and look of these so much, I am slowly adding more colors to my collection as every day wear. I did write this review with 100 percent honesty even though I will be entering the sweepstakes! #sweepstakes

Nice and warm. So many beautiful colors and patterns to choose from. Sadly, on 1 of the 4 I bought, the stitching is pulling out at the neck on the initial wearing.

Great product. True to size. Very soft and comfortable to wear. Would purchase again, but, in a different color.

Snug fit. Definitely keeps you warm.

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'm a straight up medium and with this, the arms were slightly long (but okay) but the torso is short, more like a small, very bizarre cut/fit. Moving up to a large as an option seems out if the arms would be even longer. Sending it back.

Received a notice from the carrier that the baggage was empty 2 days and shipper notified. I was leaving for Ireland the next day and assumed they would ship it while I was on a golf vacation. Just got back and no package. I'll give them a call tomorrow and hopefully there customer service is as good as their products. I have 3 of these and they are perfect for cool weather golf in the 40s and 50s. Just played in Ireland in 48-52F weather with 10-25 mph wind and some light rain. This base layer, short sleeve golf shirt, and vest worked great. Exchanged the vest for rain gear and was even warmer.

I like it, and would buy it again, but it wasn't what I expected. It used to be easy to tell the difference in weight when buying because one was 150, and the heavier weight was 250. I bought this thinking it was the 150 weight equivalent. It is not. It's still a good product and I am going to put it to good use, but I would appreciate more clarity in the description.

Great looking thermal

Comfortable, very well made, soft, and warm. The slim fit works very well for me,

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