Excellent base layer

By Danielle Mattiussi Ranked #92 - Women's Trail Running Clothing January 7, 2009

I'm ALWAYS cold and this year set out to get technical clothing for warmth rather than my usual bulk. This is a great base layer that keeps me warm as the only base layer under a North Face HyVent jacket, so far keeping me toasty down to around 35 degrees. Anything below that, I add a Mountain Hardware fleece pull-over, and I'm good-to-go. It truly does wick the moisture and lock in the warmth. It washes well, although gets slightly fuzzy as all wool does. I have a longer torso and arms and it seemed to shrink slightly but it still fits OK. The torso did not become a half-shirt, so I was happy about that. There's still a couple inches to tuck tightly into my snowboarding pants.
