Your girlfriend gives you a hug after an awesome day of skiing. You’d really love to hug her back, but you’ve already taken your ski jacket off and your synthetic baselayer smells like a twenty-year-old gym bag. If only you were wearing the Patagonia Merino 4 Classic Zip-Neck Top.

  • Merino wool naturally blocks odor
  • Merino wool also warms your torso when you’re chilled and breathes when you start to heat up
  • Front zipper dumps excess heat
  • High collar boosts neck coverage

Bottom Line: You are now free to raise your arms.

What is the difference between the Merino 4 and the Capilene

What is the difference between the Merino 4 and the Capilene 3? I am going skiing and I am looking for a shirt to go on top of my base layer.

They are both midweight base layers. The Merino 4 is made of natural merino wool (more warmth, but dries slower). The capilene 3 is synthetic material, which does better with wicking moisture (breathability) but maybe not quite as warm. Both are good baselayers. You should look into windproof fleece jackets, hardhsells or softshells for an outerlayer, depending on your skiing conditions. A pullover version may be the closest thing to a "shirt" though, if that's really what you want.
