When it gets cold, the Smartwool Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4-Zip is the top we turn to when the resort's extra cold. Being one of Smartwool’s heaviest merino baselayer options, it excels at thermal regulation in colder climates, and it reduces odor naturally for fresher comfort. Toss in the 1/4-zip functionality and we are equipped with a baselayer that gives us total control of our body temperature.

Great but not base
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Love this but with the zip for me it’s a second layer (over another SW simple base shirt). Great fit, fitted not skin tight.

It’s nice (obvi) but gray is NOT gray
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just a heads up- if you order charcoal heather it is NOT gray. It looks nothing like the picture they show, it is DARK and looks almost Navy/Black but not even close to what it shows so just FYI. I was bummed because I wanted a gray one

This was a replacement for a smartwool baselayer I'd been using for the last 5 years. Happy to have found the exact replacement. Perfect.

Comfort and function
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Very soft, conforming fabric with a little more heat than an Ortovox 185. Love the quarter zip for easy on off.

Built for the mountain
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I took this out on the slopes on several days. Some days warmer than others. It is light weight but extremely comfortable. The zipper allows you to regulate the heat. I wore it two days in a row with no stink. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Baselayer
Great baselayer . Just the right warmth for Fairbanks Alaska. This top makes all the difference. Soft on the skin, isn’t irritating. Excellent investment

My go to
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
My girlfriend bought me this - my first wool shirt that I thought would be itchy - so I was hesitant. I now wear it for everything; an under layer, a workout shirt, a hang out shirt, whatever and whenever. Keeps me cool, keeps me warm, it doesn’t smell or stink and it’s wash and wear. I had her get me another one.

Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4-Zip Men's
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This is a lightweight shirt that effectively improves cold weather comfort. It fits true to size (Medium for 6' 1" height, 160 lb. weight.) It works very well for active or athletic movements. Recommended laundry care is cold water wash, no bleach, on gentle setting, lay flat to dry.
