Mountain Hardwear AirMesh Long-Sleeve Crew Top
A single layer can have a bigger impact than you think. This layer may look unassuming, but once you have it on, you won't need anything else. Made with a unique active mesh, consisting of hollow, tube-like fibers with radial extensions that absorb sweat, quick-drying capabilities are at its highest, supporting insulation and heat-shielding properties to keep you cozy in the coldest conditions or even just at home, all while reducing weight by half compared to yarns of comparable thickness. The sheer possibilities are endless.

Ideal midlayer
Airmesh solves alpha direct's problems with snagging for a minimal weight penalty. The marginally decreased airflow makes Airmesh more usable as an active midlayer, resulting in superior performance in real-world conditions.

Magic shirt
How can a shirt keep you cool and yet warm and comfortable?? Wearing just the AirMesh, feels like I am not wearing a shirt. But as a base layer in the winter, it is my favorite shirt for any outdoor activity. I immediately bought another...

Not MHW worthy as a product
Material is not up to MHW standards, returned as it was very scratchy as a base layer.

Very unique fabric. Works as a base layer should.
Reviewing this from the POV of an end user & tech fabric geek. Love the materials of the MH AirMesh. Already have the hoody; just bought the crew. Agree w/ those who say it's very warm when at standstill or w/ a wind layer over top, yet while moving or with wind and no wind layer it's like being naked. To me that says the fabric is functioning precisely how a base layer shoulder. Only con is hypothetical: delicate fabric. I've had no issues with snags, pilling, abrasion, etc. But I wouldn't be surprised were I to, given the softness of the fibers and the openness of the fabric they're arranged into. Cut/fit are unremarkable w/ exception of the somewhat high neck hole and the different accent fabric used there. Packs tiny, resilient fibers bounce back into shape immediately. Most comparable to the Patagonia Cap Air wool base layer, minus the itchiness/roughness and the ultra premium price point. Also, like Polartec Power Stretch pro, but much lighter and more airy fabric, fwiw.

Packs down to nothing
I recently purchased a red version of the AirMesh. I find it incredibly warm for its weight. Packs down to nothing which is very helpful.

Excellent fabric
Hands down the most versatile piece of technical apparel I own. Like owning a base layer of polartec alpha.

Insane Comfort
Love this shirt. Wear it all the time and have already ordered another one - so comfortable. If they eventually make a short sleeved version I'll buy that, too. It's a great base layer and good for cool/cold weather chillin'. Be aware that there is zero wind blocking - it's a mesh fabric - you must have a shell if you're hiking/skiing/walking to mailbox. That said - I've hiked in 15-20F with wind and just this base and a heavy shell no problem. Note: It's very "roomy". Great for me, but if you're a bean pole you may be swimming in it - think about that when selecting sizes.

Love it!
Lightest shirt I own, especially for it being a long sleeve. It’s lighter than my t-shirts. Its lightness is kind of weird at first actually. On its own it almost feels like you’re not wearing anything at all. Just a feeling of soft fuzziness on your skin. It’s sensational. The warmth factor I’m not so sure of. Yes, it is warm. But when I layer it underneath, for example, the MicroChill fleece jacket, overall I’m less toasty than if I’m wearing the MicroChill on bare skin. But the MicroChill jacket is made of a nice fleece material that is comfortable on the skin on its own. If I wanted a lightweight base layer for, say, the Ghost Shadow Hoody synthetic down jacket, it’s an excellent pairing.

Impressed
Exactly as advertised. Extremely comfortable and breathable. Worthless in the wind without a windbreaker layer but extremely warm when there’s no wind or when layered. Make sure to follow the laundry instructions because the fibers seem very delicate.
