Item #SIC0009 | 385 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great base layer, though a tad itchy

By Ranked #205 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops December 16, 2010

Fantastic fit, the XL fits like a proper XL should (in my view). I find a lot of the other thermal brands fit ultra tight in an XL, this fits more like a properly sized XL would.

Fit is awesome, keep you warm.

My only complaint is that they are a bit itchy on the skin. At first I thought it was the wool ... but on closer inspection I realized that the stiching on the inside where the red stripes are (on the black/red one) are kinda raised and that's the part that's a bit itchy. It's not horrible by any means ... but still something I noticed and kept me from giving 5 starts.

the 17.5 micron merino wool is the finest material out there... these are softer than smartwool, or icebreaker because of the fine fibers. its softer than most cotton Tees! the flatlock stitching is also really comfortable compared to a serged seam that leaves a seam allowance inside the garment.
