Why We Like The Alpine Onset Crew
The naturally technical properties of merino wool make the Alpine Onset Crew an amazing companion for our winter-weather adventures. The only way that the ultra-soft, odor-fighting, temperature-regulating wool threads could be improved is with the addition of breathable, moisture-wicking, and earth-friendly Repreve fibers—and Outdoor Research hit the nail on the head.

Awkward fit
My first impression when I put the shirt on was 'is this backwards?" The collar feels just a little too tight around the neck. Everything else about the shirt fits well, so I don't think it's a size issue. After wearing it for a while it gets comfortable and you forget about the neck issue. The fit isn't a deal breaker, but I don't plan on buying another.

Clutch
Perfect underlayer in cool and cold environments, especially when sweating is a concern. It maintains enough heat to keep you warm, yet wicks moisture, breathes, and dries quicky. Clutch piece of gear for shoulder season canoe trips in the back country. Same for the merino 150 bottoms and hoodie.

One of my PNW favorites
I have used this for a full fall/winter hiking season. After much thought and a lot of comparisons, this is worth looking at. It pulls my sweat to the surface when it's my only top I have on, and I just wipe it away. It Insulates really well when used as a base layer and doesn't leave me feeling cold when I've been sweating on my ascent. I have other many other competitors in this class, and their good. But I found myself choosing this over a lot of choices made primarily of merino wool too. I would recommend this to anyone.

Perfect fit... light and warm.
Exactly what I needed, and the perfect color, too. Great fit for the size. Lightweight while still a warm base layer or light outer layer.

Warm and breathable but feels cheap
The material is surprisingly coarse for a high end shirt, and while it certainly holds up as intended for outdoor activity it's not exactly something I'd reach for for comfort.
