Midweight Merino Perfect

By Andrew Brandt Ranked #193 - Men's Midweight Long Underwear - Tops October 6, 2009

Some of my Icebreaker pieces could be considered my glamour pieces, but for mid and underlayer workhorses these Smartwool crews are unstoppable! I literally just wore this midweight top (black) in a marathon with just bandaid protection under it and a racing singlet over it in 45 degree windy conditions and it was PERFECT. It regulated heat--kept me from ever feeling cold but didn't make me sweat out all my moisture. The amazing thing is I wore it THE NEXT DAY and it didn't smell a bit. I'll be throwing this under other merino tops to form merino armor when it gets seriously cold, and by itself/under a shortsleeve or tank top tech piece when temps are moderate. I would perhaps go lightweight if temps were above say 65 and energy output was high but otherwise this is awesome!
