Bridging the gap between functional layering piece and urban-ninja radness, the Backcountry.com Women’s Merino Sleevless Hooded Shirt goes from yoga class to bouldering gym to coffee hangout gallivanting your guns all the while. The close-fitting and ridiculously-soft 17.5-micron merino wool begs to be worn next to the skin, and since it’s from New Zealand you know the wool comes from a well-cared for sheep. Pull up the hood when the evening chill sets in, and thank the stars for merino’s natural odor-inhibitors now when your climbing gym crush follows you out of the coffee shop.
Bottom Line: The Merino Sleeveless Hooded Shirt goes wherever comfort is allowed.
just came today in time for kickboxing. It is great! it fits so cute and the fabric is so light and soft. I love it. I got the tomato because it was the cheapest color (being the college student i am) It is a bit see through but I really don't think it is a big deal to show off your sports bra a little bit. Because I am tall, my concern when I pulled it out of the package was that it would look weirdly short on me, but it fits great! love it!
As the other reviews stated, it is see-through. One can see whatever you are wearing underneath it, and even the tag along the side. However, that has not been a problem since my wife wears it over a long sleeve shirt as a sort of light-weight hooded vest. Used in that fashion, it keeps her warm when there is a slight chill without having to put on a heavier layer.
The lilac color is a pinkish color with a hint of purple.
I would estimate that the weight of the fabric (based on other Backcountry, Smartwool, and Icebreaker merino products that we have) is between 120 and 140.
The green color is great! Got it today.. see myself wearing this over another workout shirt, or just over a sports bra for active yoga/pilates. My measurements are on the larger side of a small (based on Backcountry.com's sizing chart) so I ordered a small - it is definitely fitted like the picture shows. If you are insecure at all about your tummy, I would order a size up because this will show off any imperfections if you have any - it's that fitted. I can't see myself wearing this casually, but definitely will wear it to the gym and for outdoor cardio stuff.
The lilac color is very nice, but the shirt runs small. I ended up exchanging it and got a size larger. It is a little see through in lilac, not sure about other colors. It adds a touch of core body warmth when layered.
According to the sizing chart a small should fit me but this shirt is so tight I would need a medium if not a large. It is also almost see-through! However, it is so cute and so soft that I'm going to save it as a gift for a (very petite) friend. The red is a really pretty color.
This shirt has a great fit, nice color (got green). Nice performance and very sweat resistance. It is a little see-through but works great with sportsbra. Only hunchback: My cat got hooked to Merino wool and ripped it. So, I had to get a new one after only two weeks (of permanently wearing it). I have to (cat-safe) store away all merino wool gear religiously.
It looks very nice on, but is a little baggy under the arms. I took the advice of a fellow respondant and got a size bigger and it fits well. The red is not that see-through, certainly not enough for me to worry about.
Backcountry uses nice merino for all of their clothing, and this hooded, sleeveless shirt is not exception. The colors are bright and dyed nicely, and the hooded design is pretty fun. These shirts are pretty tight, and I recommend sizing up over the sizing chart if you don't want something close to skin tight. However, I think the Backcountry.com brand sizing chart is pretty different from other brands. I have a 34" chest and ordered a small, though I would have preferred a medium, like a wear in shirts for most other brands.
I bought this shirt last week, and I have no regrets. The green color is really pretty, and it looks really good on. For icebreaker clothes, I have always had to size down to an extra small, so I wasn't sure how this would fit. I decided to stick with a small, and it fits perfect. Very comfortable, it is a little loose but not too much. I noticed that it was a little see-through, but it did not seem problematic.
