Backcountry.com Merino Zip Tee - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Backcountry.com Merino Zip Tee - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 August 24, 2009

I spent an entire month long expedition in the Merino Zip Tee recently. It performed relatively well, but the white sleeves became brown in a matter of days and holes emerged where my backpack rubbed against the shirt within about a week. I also feel that while this wool may make you smell less bad in a typical human BO kind of way, in the end you still smell bad, just a different kind of bad. Maybe more like a "wet sheep" as the other reviewer said.

In any case, the shirt worked well to deflect the sun (we were on glacier most of the time) and managed heat and moisture just fine. It did stay damp for longer than I expected, but I didn't feel cold in it when it was damp like I would with a synthetic baselayer.

Also, after two washes the sleeves are still brown :( Its probably not going to make it after what I put it through.

Marmot Alpinist Jacket - Men's

March 24, 2009

Ugh, same here. 6', 160 lbs and the medium is enormous on me. Got it on steepandcheap.com so it looks like I dont have the option to exchange it for a small. bummer, because it seems like a nice jacket.

Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket - Men's

March 16, 2009

I bought this jacket about a month ago and have worn it a few times. I really like it, except that it fits very strangely. Its snug around the neck and then bells out through the torso and down to the waist. I'm wondering if I should try to replace it with the Mountain Hardwear Compressor Jacket. I know its a few ounces lighter, but will it be as warm? Is it cool to return something you've had for a month (no wear or tear, really)? I'm 6' 150 lbs, by the way, and I'll be in the Waddington range over the summer - so that is what the jacket is for.
