Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

I bought this shirt because of the high recommendations and I've never worn merino wool. Well once I tried it on I thought it was too itchy and the last thing I want to be is itchy on a hiking trip. The length of the sleeves weren't quite long enough either. It was a stretch to use the thumb holes. I'm 5'8". I loved the style and color , just wish it was softer.

Okay, maybe not that good - but it DID spend two weeks on a wildfires in the southwest and it doesn't smell like smoke. Pretty awesome achievement, actually. Kept me warm on those cold nights in the sleeping bag! The fact that it's 100% wool allowed me to wear it on the fireline for some cold night shifts, as well. The purple color is great, although the sleeves could be just a little longer (I'm 5'9" and got a large). It fits, but it's stretched to its limits when I use the thumbholes.

One of my favorite baselayers! Fits true to size. Loved it so much, I wore it at least 3 days in a row on a recent ski trip and it didn't smell at all.

I usually do not like wool because it has always been uncomfortable to me (even merino wool). However, this item changed my opinion on wool and will definitely buy more in the future!

This shirt is amazing! Comfortable, great fit (I'm 5'2" 120 lbs and a small fits nicely), and styling.

works as just a single layer without much wind.

THis is incredible and I have been too warm and soaked the shirt but still stayed warm in 0 degree weather! Loved it.

This a wonderful product at a great price. I have worn it skiing, snowshoeing and around town under a sweatshirt. I am known for being cold this keeps me warm. After sweating this keeps me dry. I also like the monkey holes which are super if you have long arms. I may have to buy another one of these I like it that much.

I wear this as an undershirt when i go snowboarding and snowshoeing. It's so warm, and doesn't itch like wool normally does.

i went ahead and gave this the test of a good 4 or 5 days of wear before washing (including one epic 12 hour drive in a snowstorm). I can't say it smelled like roses cause it didn't. but it didn't smell at all, so it passes the test. as far as fit, it's great. if you go a few days it will stretch a little bit, but not beyond pure comfort. and the fabric/weave of this merino is really nice. To compare it to an older icebreaker oasis crew that i have (which is awesome, don't get me wrong), the icebreaker is more of a fine rib knit and the backcountry merino is more of a smooth weave, so it feels nicer to the touch. it's the only top i've worn skiing since i bought it.

Great fit on this. Medium fits perfect if you normally buy medium. Great length on the sleeves and waist. just gives you that little bit of extra you need to be comfy and still have it be very functional. colors look true to the pictures on the site. Very nice rich grape color.
