Great bargain merino

By Stephen Yutzy Ranked #90 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops September 26, 2011

I got bitten by the merino bug hardcore last winter, and now can't imagine other base layers. This piece by far and away wins the bang for your buck award in my book, especially if you pick it up on sale on SAC. It shares all the normal merino qualities: moves moisture well, dries quickly (although not as quickly as synthetic) and doesn't stink, and at roughly half the price of some of the others. The downside? Not quite as soft as Icebreaker or Smartwool, but not rough by any means.

Edit: I'm 6'1", 170lbs, with a +2" ape factor, and the medium fits me great as a base layer. Snug without being constricting.
