"This is by far my new favorite base layer! The moisture wicking is way better than anything I’ve used prior. Warm even when wet! All the good!!!"
"This is the greatest merino baselayer I have ever used. I have smartwool, icebreaker, outdoor research, costco; this is the one I grab for ski days & days that matter. It is expensive, but totally worth it. My only gripe is the position of the thumb holes. I find myself using them to see my watch more than keep the sleeves in place since it's relatively slim fitting. The slim wrist means it doesn't twist well to see my watch, but that's not what it's for. . ."
"Awesome piece of techwear but too small and fitted to be worn as anything but a base layer. I sized using my exact measurements across my chest and it’s really tight. No room for shrink. Not usable for anything besides sport base layer, which is a bit disappointing."
"Fit is spot on, not too tight, provides great warmth but still breathes. Highly recommend for skin layer and trekking under gortex layer"
"I wear the Solution almost every day from November through mid April. It is the best!🫡"
"Makes a great base layer. Super soft on my skin."
"Had the quarter zip hoody - had to add this. Great weight and feel. Love the merino (more options like these please - short sleeve??)"
"Super comfortable base layer. Nice athletic fit."
"My go to as a ski patrol"
"My favorite baselayer"
