Backcountry.com Merino Zip T-Neck Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

We made our Backcountry.com Women's Long-Sleeve Zip Tee with super-fine New Zealand Merino, flattering women's-specific fit flat-locked seams, and a ½ zip chest so you can tackle anything from a 5-day backpacking trip to a run around the neighborhood in complete comfort. Given its super-fine 18-micron Merino knit, the naturally odor-resistant Merino Zip Tee feels great as a next-to-skin base layer. Merino transfers your moisture just as well, if not better than most synthetic fabrics, and it won't leave you shivering after a good sweat since wool stays warm even when wet. Bust open the ½ zip neck for a little extra ventilation when you reach the top of your climb or finish your bike ride with a sprint. Thumbholes in the Merino Zip Tee's cuffs help the sleeves stay put when worn as a layering piece, and the contrast side panels put an end to being rubbed the wrong way.

Bottom Line: The Backcountry.com Men's Long-Sleeve Zip Tee leaves stinking synthetic base layers wanting.

Versatile Layer- Under or Over

By:
November 4, 2008

Excellent layer that works well as a top or only layer, as well as an under layer for skiing, winter running, or ice climbing or other. The zipper is long and allows for a well protected neck area or more breathability when unzipped all the way. The October Grape color is rad- very feminine. It also has a great female cut to it, and love the panels as it off-sets the other fabric. It is a light weight layer but provides more warmth then you would guess for it's thickness. I am 5'7 and medium build- and the medium fits perfectly. Perfect for just about any outdoor activity that requires a versatile layer, or for just hanging out in at home. A must have for your sport clothing arsenal.

soft, fits fine

By:
November 3, 2008

I am tall (5' 9") with a B-ish bust and long arms, and usually wear a medium top. I bought a medium, and it suits me fine. However, this top is form-fitting; I could be comfortable in a large, too. And I can see how it could be too tight in the chest for someone better-endowed than me. The fabric feels silky and soft and doesn't smell after wearing for a few days. It itches a touch when I just put it on, which doesn't bug me, but it might bother someone who's sensitive. I bought it for snowboarding and camping/backpacking. My only complaint is that when I washed it, the fabric panels shrank just a tad, which caused the front zipper to get pulled to the left. It's barely perceptible (it was two days before I noticed), but ... maybe this top should be hand-washed?

What's the difference between this top & the Backcountry.com...

What's the difference between this top & the Backcountry.com Merino BLISS Zip T-Neck Shirt (besides the pocket)? In the descriptions, both shirts say they are 18 micron merino wool, but this shirt says 'midweight' while the Bliss says it's 'lightweight'. Are both shirts the same weight & warmth?

Loved the fabric, but not the fit

By:
August 24, 2008

I ordered this in a Small and a Medium, thinking I'd keep whichever one fit and send the other one back, but I wound up sending both back. Too bad, 'cause the fabric is fabulous. The S mostly fit, but was too tight across chest & armpits. The M was looser, but still tight across chest; and the neck was too big for me in that size. "Too tight across the chest" is something that I rarely have occasion to say (I'm in the A-B range in bust size), so I found the fit/design a little puzzling. Not right for me, anyway. But the wool was soft & comfy.

I was wondering if you consider this a "lightweight" or "midweight"...

I was wondering if you consider this a "lightweight" or "midweight" layer, compared to for example a Smartwool product. I'm trying to gauge how warm it will be.

I'd consider this to be a "lightweight" layer that adjusts well to varying temperatures. The fabric is smooth and thin, but with the high neck zip as well as the thumb hole options, there is added warmth and coverage. Because it is a lighter layer, it can also be worn well under or over other layers as well..but stands well on its on on a cool fall day activity. hope that helps..

new fave

By:
May 29, 2008

A new fave piece of gear! I love it and want to buy more! Great fit, wicks well, perfect for exercising in cool conditions. Amazingly, the wool really does seem to be odor-resistant. Sizing is good, and I love the fitted style. Thumb holes are an added bonus.

Love this shirt!

By:
May 10, 2008

I absolutely love this shirt. I wear it too much! I have worn it as a casual shirt in addition to my normal outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, climbing. So far, it has lasted through many washes and seems to be holding up great.

I love the feminine fit and it washes really well too. It is great to wear as a layer for snowboarding in super cold weather or to wear solo just running around town. I highly recommend it!

Its my favorite

By:
February 1, 2008

I now have a favorite wool top to go with my favorite wool bottoms (Ibex loose tights). When I say 'favorite', let me clarify what that means: it has to be an item that I don't have to wash very often, looks good, and will last a long time. I love wool but its expensive. I always know it will be a good investment though. This definitely is. I usually wear a medium and got a medium. I was a little surprised that it was more fitted than expected, but a large would have been to big.
