Patagonia Merino 3 Zip-Neck Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

There's hardly a cool-weather sport where the Patagonia Women's Wool 3 Zip-Neck won't come in handy. Wear this soft, thick base layer under your ski or ice climbing shell, wear it alone on a cool day on the rocks, or slip it on at the end of a long backpack into the woods. Patagonia treats New Zealand Merino with an eco-wash instead of the chlorine shock treatment other manufacturers use, so you get an insulating, quick-dry, odor-resistant layer without any environmental havoc.

Bottom Line: Seek natural warmth.

Another great merino piece from Pati

By:
October 20, 2009

I've been eying the chocolate candy stripe color for quite a while. BC is the only one that carries it, even Pati's own website doesn't have it in stock. So with the 20% coupon from BC that's going on right now, I finally pulled the trigger, and am so glad I did. This zip neck is thick (230g/m2), dense, and you can tell its quality is impeccable. As a bonus, it's made in the USA, with the best Zque merino wool available. So far I've only worn it on the trail once, carrying a daypack. But the fabric never got fuzzed up as many other merino tops do, and I have a collection of them.

Compare to an Icebreaker piece that's of similar weight (the Olympia zip), the length of the turtleneck on the Pati is just right: it's high enough to cover the entire neck, but not so high to bunch up the fabric at the top as the Olympia zip does.

Keep in mind that the Pati website said this piece is "regular fit" instead of "slim fit". I usually wear either xs or small in Pati, but got a small anyway, since I like it a bit loose, and it will shrink a bit after the first wash. The fit is perfect.

The chocolate candy stripe is a truly awesome color. It's very rich, and very much a fall color. If you are into the color, it is also available in the hooded version (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Patagonia-Merino-3-Hooded-Shirt-Long-Sleeve-Womens/PAT1672M.html). So go and get yourself one before they run out, and consider it as a limited edition piece (they didn't seem to have made too many of them) you can wear for years to come.
