Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew

Good product

Very pretty and well made. It's a fitted style at least for me. 5'7" 130# and the medium fits snug.

Little bit baggier than I would like, but it still gets the job done.

I miss the old, thicker wool material that was used. It has really changed over the years.

Another customer here thinks the sizing has gotten loser, I think it has gotten tighter. Maybe it has just gotten less consistent. I wear these base layers as sweaters all winter long, last one lasted my 10 years. This one will be warn only as a base layer on the slopes because the fit is actually inappropriate for public use.

I have a few of them enjoy them all...the last one was an xl, same as all my others but definitely too big, that was disappointing. M

Consistent with some of the reviews here, the fit is a little baggy. In terms of arm and torso length, it's perfect, but it's much too baggy in the arms and a little too baggy in the torso. They're comfy and warm, but for the price point, I need a better fit.

Solid base layer but fits too tight to wear on its own

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.

I do like smart wool, but for the price I wouldn't buy this again. There are better options for cheaper

Very comfortable but not as warm as I thought it would be.

Sleeves are way too long, body too tight. These are for skinny people with long arms.

The picante Heather is more brown and less orange than in the pictures. Still a decent colour, but was trying to match it with the orange on my shoes. Either way, just hope it lasts.

Good quality, but wanted a baselayer, which should be form fitting to be effective, this is more like a long sleeve merino t-shirt for me. I have a lean athletic build. I bought a small and even washed it in hot water and dried it on high heat. It shrank a bit, but not enough. Merino stretches so you almost need it to be a size smaller and have it stretch to your size/ the next size up, to be form fitting. Guess I have to stick to my fav cycling brand's merino baselayers.

Material ok , it long for me ( size small other brand fit me well look like arc'teryx , Patagonia , icebreaker and more ) I don' t my body I wear it for baselayer still cold I'm wearing jacket sweatshirt . I hope smartwool made fit for people high 5'3 5'5 .

Nice product but runs large. I recommend going a size down. Loose base layer = COLD!

After the first wash I hung up to dry by the hanging tab on the collar. Now the collar is completely stretched out, almost don't want to wear it because it looks and feels ridiculous. Ive used this same method with other Smartwool products and this has never happened. My advice would be to not use the hanging tab on the collar. Other than this one issue. I love the fit and warmth the shirt provides.

Initially happy with the look but after just one wash on the recommended cycle, the stitching along the [sleeve] is already beginning to fray and loosen. It appears the seams weren't properly finished, leading to the threads unraveling. Disappointing quality for the price.

I only wore this about 10 times and it had developed small holes is several location. Poor quality and I'm really disappointed since these are not cheap.

Over the years I had purchased three of the classic base layer and all for great. One was wearing out after close to nine years and they had a nice sale on so I ordered two. Arm length is probably 3" longer than my previous buys and torso length 3 or more inches longer. Body fit was fine. I'm returning the purchase and disappointed. Not sure I would order anything like these online anymore after this experience.

The fit is odd. Sleeves and body are too long. Nice material, though.

I live in the mountains in Northwest Montana. During the winter it's pretty cold. I've got a whole slew of Smartwool base layers. The one I just purchased doesn't stand up to my old ones. The fabric is much thinner and doesn't provide the warmth I need. Sadly I will not be purchasing base layers again. It's amazing to me why companies don't stick with what works.

This is not a base layer. It is cut like a sweatshirt. Very loose fit considering returning the item.

This year's design feels boxier and fits worse. I have owned probably 15 of these shirts and the two I bought this year are just looser and drape more. I buy this as both a base layer and as something i wear to work in a casual workplace environment, and am really dissapointed that they have changed the slim and form fitting nature of this shirt. I'm 6,2" 175, and a medium has always been a great fit until this year.

My husband wanted to use as an under layer but it doesn't fit properly. It is loose and baggy. The quality is not the best. Not worth $115+ should be priced more like $40. We are returning both items for a full refund.
