The Perfect Base Layer

By Yuzz Ranked #71 - Women's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops December 15, 2011

I have been searching for the perfect base layer for winter hiking in the northeast, and this is the winner. It wicks quickly, but doesn't leave you freezing like synthetics do. Even at the peak of sweatiness, Smartwool continues to keep you warm. The material feels nice, not at all itchy.

I found this to run a bit narrow/small, I am a Small in most clothes but prefer my clothes to fit loosely, and so ordered a Medium in this. It is still a tighter fit, but not uncomfortable. It doesn't ride up at all - a HUGE plus - and is a good length (below the hip bone). I am 5' 4", athletic build (~size 4 - 6).

The color (turquoise) is a nice change from the obnoxious fluorescent and black options I have previously owned. Even though the price is usually steep (I got a good deal), I am now a Smartwool believer!
