Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Ultralight 150 Short Sleeve Crew

Wanted a short sleeve base layer. This was exactly what I wanted. Not too tight or itchy. Perfect sleeve length.

Just received my second Cresta Ultralight 150 short sleeve crew. I love my first shirt so much, I had to buy another. It is thin enough to wear as a baselayer under a long sleeve wool shirt for skiing and other winter outdoor activities. By itself, it is good looking, comfortable, soft, and wicking for warmer weather hiking and backpacking. Last but not least, it long enough to remain tucked in even when my backpack waist belt tugs it up and out (as often occurs with shorter length shirts). I highly recommend this shirt.

When the temps plunge, this is a wonderfully warm shirt to wear.

This top is warm and soft and a great buy. It is cozy without being too hot.

This base layer shirt is perfect for wearing under anything because it's so soft and lightweight and it is so soft and not scratchy. I ordered the xl and the fit is perfect. Please come out with more colors.

This lightweight fitted wool top works well as a base layer when I need something warmer than a camisole.

This is this thin enough to layer under anything. It can also be worn alone without looking like an undershirt. The pink color is more attractive in person than on the website.

Bought this as a base layer to wear hiking in Maine mountains. Very warm and comfy. I was skeptical about the itch potential, but there was NO itch. FYI after reading other's comments, I ordered a size up. Glad I did. My regular size (M) would have been uncomfortably tight.

Lightweight but warm top. I purchased to wear under sweaters or sweatshirts to add a layer.

Extremely light weight and soft 100% merino wool short sleeved thermal top. I normally wear petite small or medium but petite was not offered. I ordered one in small and one in medium in a Two a day sale in the middle of summer! Both were too snug for my taste and I returned both for large and they are comfortably loose. Since they are regular length they are long. I am always cold in the winter and I anticipate that they will keep me warm but we're currrently in the midst of a heat wave so I can't speak to how well they will perform in a cold spell! Lovely light mauve color!

I am a big fan of wool, even in warm weather. In cool weather this shirt is a good base layer, but even in hot weather, wool keeps you cool, and is odor resistant. I recently wore it in July in Montana hiking everyday. It's very lightweight and not scratchy at all. I'm tried on the light mauve color but it was a bit see through so I stuck with the charcoal color. I have the long sleeve version as well and absolutely love it. I'm 5'11" 170lbs I got a size medium

Nice shirt to wear under your regular clothing to keep warm not itchy

This was a great last minute purchase before leaving on a trip to Iceland. It was exactly what I was looking for- in a great color, the right size & it was on sale!! I also loved that it was wool as it kept me warm and never needed washing on my 12 day trip. It never got smelly! I did- however wash it after I got home!

I love this shirt. It's light weight and very soft. I wear it under other shirts, I wouldn't wear it alone as a tee shirt, but it doesn't add bulk when worn under another shirt. It is fit and hugs the body. It washes nicely and comes out of the dryer soft and ready to wear. I would buy another one of these in another color. In my review I wrote it was on the small size but to clarify it is not meant to be a baggy shirt.

I got two of these a few months ago and they are my favorite wool tshirts. Perfect light weight, soft and stretchy. Love these for hiking, working out and for everyday. True to size.

Warm layer but not bulky to wear under another shirt or sweater.

Great short sleeve wool shirt. Lightweight, regulates my temperature well

Comfortable. I have the same shirt in the long sleeve version. I was excited when I saw the pink in short sleeve for spring. I wear the wool tops all year long for many outdoor activities and to dress up a bit. The shirts wash up nicely and keep their shape.

Good shirt to have for a little extra warmth when needed for a chilly outing. I have a lot of LLB base layers. This is just as comfortable and fits me just as well. No regrets!

Stylish , great quality, fits as expected , light weight, nice colors

Great utility as lightweight under layer. Always looking for lightweight wool and this is it.

The perfect little wool Tshirt for any hike, long or short.

Love the color and the feel of this shirt. Bought it on a daily special. It's a great shirt.

Attractive. Fits well. Good color. Looking forward to wearing it. Haven my washed it yet.

Lightweight wool is perfect for layering; washed separately at first as recommended
