Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Midweight 250 Crew Top

Love this shirt. It's my warmest and softest, go to cozy, all day shirt.. I live in Montana so warmth is a very important quality this time of year. The soft coziness is just a bonus.

Warm, fitted, soft, attractive... this base layer has everything! I wear it for a walk and then come home and throw a jacket or sweater over it for zoom meetings. Perfect!

I absolutely love LL Bean's washable 100% wool long underwear!!

perfect weight for cosy base layer.................

This is a great shirt! It is lightweight, warm and not itchy. I definitely recommend buying it!

My husband and I each got one of these and we absolutely love them. They are super soft, they did not shrink, lose color, or anything like that. Just a really good shirt all around!

Have been enjoying these so much so, have made the purchase of several more!

Nice, comfortable and warm. Good quality too. Worth it.

Great weight, nice lines, better quality than Smartwool and less expensive.

Very comfy top and like the purple color. However, I feel the midweight 100% merino wool top I bought a year ago keeps me warmer. I thought I was buying the same top. This top is called Mid Weight 100% Merino wool made in China. Item ID 264513.

Excellent product. Soft and so warm! Highly recommend.

I am 5 feet, 105 lbs and always cold! This wool top which I use as an undergarment additional layer keeps me warm yet it is soft and comfortable on the skin. Extra small fits just right and does not add bulk to my layers. Highly recommend.

Light weight. Warm. Not itchy. Favorite to wesr as a base layer or top layer. Wicked warm

This is the sort of short that, once you put it on, you have a hard time getting it off super cozy and comfortable, long enough to deal with my yoga pants always slipping down, sharp enough to wear out in town with a skirt, light enough to wear under a sweater but great for running the recyclables out to the bin after dinner. I have every color and some duplicates, and love every one.

I have 3 of these now for outdoor hiking and running and they are the absolute best! I bought two last year and just bought another this year and am thinking of getting the zip up one too. I did a lot of research on base layers/merino tops before I purchased this for my outdoor running (I live in Ohio and still trail run and hike with my Pitbull throughout the winter) so I needed a top that would keep me warm without being bulky. This is legitimately the best and the only one you will need.

I was in need of a warm base layer top , soft but not fleece, fitted but not skin tight, a color which was eye-pleasing. This crests midweight fits the bill. I know I will feel warm and comfortable in it .

This a perfectly fitted with soft, smooth material, that I am using as winter pj's along with the matching bottom & will also use as an under layer for outdoor winter activities.

I love merino wool for the fall/winter for casual wear and outdoor activities. This one is my favorite weight, soft, and a great color. I got 3, one for me and two as gifts. I don't need the thumb holes, so I would prefer a top without them. Same fabric needed in more colors and styles.

I found myself in colder-than-expected weather. I bought this as a layer for extra warmth and it is exactly what I needed. It's just the right weight, not itchy, easily layers under most tops and washes very well. I bought it on sale and that was an added bonus! I highly recommend it. I'll probably get another one!

Very warm! I took this on a recent trip to Spain and when the temperature dropped at night (low 50's) i put this on over a tshirt and wore my LLBean puffer vest and was very comfortable walking around the city. The material is a teeny scratchy for the first wears but not bad. Great travel shirt and layering piece.

As with the bottoms, I haven't had to wear them yet. Tried them on of course, and they were well made, and comfortable. Will be great for the PNW.

Converting much of my closet to merino wool for its versatility warmth & comfort. All this piece needs to get 5 stars is Thumb-holes!

The reason for the rating 4 is that your company does not provide pettie sizes choice.

The material is nice - I like natural wool much better than synthetic fabrics. The sleeves are a bit long for me, so I'm not sure how useful the thumb openings will be. I will probably be folding them back. The fit is a bit loose but maybe it will shrink a little in the wash. I haven't worn it yet in super cold weather, but more layers can be added if needed.

Nice color and fabric but I haven't worn it yet. I expect to wear it when the weather is colder.
