Write your question here... I am looking for a shirt that will keep me warm as well as be light enough to wear as a baselayer/underwear. Should I get the lightweight or microweight?

I agree with knanier, but would add that it depends on what you are doing. I wear the microweight all winter as a nordic ski or running baselayer under a light shell. For that level of activity, lightweight is too much. For general winter use backcountry skiing or warm-day alpine skiing, lightweight rules. Go to midweight if you want them primarily for stop n go like alpine skiing. Enjoy the wool!

Go with the lightweight; the microweight is better at moisture managment and keeping you cool in warm weather. It'll also add some warmth in the winter, but the lightweight would be better for what you're looking for.
