Customer Reviews Smartwool Classic All-Season Merino Base Layer 1/4 Zip

Sweepstakes Gift for my son and he loves it especially with weather shifts from winter to spring

This 1/2 zip is great for travel, airplane, boat and touring performance unmatched.

Very comfortable and good for layering. I would buy another one. wait, I own two of them already. Undecided if it is durable or not.

Smartwool quality, with this purchase I figured out I am not a quarter zip fan. I will wear the pooh out of it, just wont buy another zipper one.

The material feels thinner than the previous models I have purchased. So far the quality has been as expected from smartwool, we will see how it holds up in the future.

Feels good.

Thinner than my expectation. Good for summer hike

I actually love these, and bought knowing they don't hold up well. I wear them frequently, so in less than a year there is wear through location at the elbows. But on the bright side, they have a great warranty and fantastic customer service.

This is my go to casual sweater. Fits me great and is a great casual year round top. The fabric has changed since my last order (several years ago). It now has a small amount (12%) nylon and the fabric seems slightly thinner. It has a little more stretch which I like. I give it 4 stars because I'm unsure of durability...the old model wore like iron.

I own a couple of these which are a bit heavier. this layer is a bit light for my usage.

I love this product when it's brand new, but even after a day or two of wearing it, it starts to show signs of pilling. I don't remember the previous versions of similar products from smart wool being so quick to wear out.

The garment feels soft and nice against my skin. It fits well but is quite thin. As an advertised base layer, I expected it to be thicker and warmer.

Beautiful sage green in large, nice long arms and legs, light-weight wool fabric ( "all season" means not hot in summer. Winter performance remains to be seen). My only misgiving is the need to order matching bottom in extra-large due to the new, tight waistband, which then makes the rest of the bottom too baggy. I am 6 ft, 176 lb, with 37 in. waist.

All & all, I'm a Smartwool fan, however, I'm not all that stoked on how they chained the "weight " of the material. Use to be 150 & 250, pretty straight forward, but these tops and bottom that I just ordered are much lighter weight than I thought I was getting. Not bad for warmer weather, but a little light for winter. Also, the collar on the 1/4 zip is less pronounced. Kinda pointless.

I am a big fan of Smart Wool products. This shirt was made of very thin material, and it began pilling on the second day I wore it. Disappointing.

Sleeves are way too long.

Purchased two of these to replace two older versions of the same merino base layer product, but the material on the new version is considerably thinner. I doubt this will be very durable. It certainly is not a warm as the old version. When I submitted a question about the change in the thickness of the material, I received a reply explaining how to return what I had purchased. Not very good customer service when you receive a answer to a question you didn't ask.

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

I really liked these shirts and own several however, even with proper care they fall apart at ~ two years of regular use. Smartwool will not provide support beyond the two year warranty. They clothing is essentially disposable and I no longer support smartwool as a result.

It looks like a Smartwool changed the fabric that they use. This top has very thin fabric. I'm going to be sending it back. Very disappointing. I'm wondering if smart was turned off corporate on us.
