[ I bought this for my hubby for Christmas. He ’s never had wool before despite my many sales pitches to convince him he needed it. He tried it on and said, “ You mean to tell me I can be this comfortable AND warm??!! ” He was instantly sold on Smartwool!

[ I wear this every single day( winter in Michigan), with the exception of when my wife is washing it. It is a perfect weight, perfect fit, same color, and stays true to size after multiple washes. I will get another one!

[ I actually returned this one simply because I wanted to try Icebreaker, but I have another and it's the best baselayer for dead of winter hikes and also works for lounging around. The cut on the Icebreaker is a little more stylish but this is definitely softer. Great product.

[ Super nice base layer! Light weight, soft and warm. Definitely a late shoulder season garment for backpacking/strenuous outdoor activities. I think this shirt would also work great in layering for winter activities. The fit of the shirt is also spot on.

[ Bought this to use as my sleeping and base layer when backpacking in Colorado. So far has been very comfortable and warm. Holds up well and looks nice enough I don ’ t mind wearing it around town. May have been able to get away with a lighter 150 but the warmth is worth the extra weight.

Bought this for my wife, she's only tried it on so far( it's getting warm now, after all). She loves it, and looks good in it. The fit is perfect, and it's very soft to the touch, unlike sweaters of old! It allows for great range of motion, it's not restrictive at all, and she says it's super comfy.

[ This top made me ski like an olympiad. Really, it's that good, so I 'm buying it in navy. My favorite underlayer by a long shot, I literally wore it every day of my last ski trip- 5 days in a row. Shhhh.

[ I bought this about 3 weeks ago… to keep me warm on a climbing trip where we would encounter cooler weather! I have dressed it up, wore around the cabin and out for hikes. I highly recommend!

Laurie
[ I bought this several weeks ago and have worn it on several chilly( and hilly) NE dog walks. It provides a warm, yet breathable layer under my light down jacket. It fits very close to my body and adds very little bulk. I appreciate the generous sleeve length. I have yet to launder it as I wear it as a middle layer.

Like most Smartwool products I have purchased, this one is a nice weight, completely soft and comfortable AND attractive. I get compliments on it all the time.

Mike B.
Super comfortable first wear while on a 2 day backpacking trip. It made a great base layer and then when temps when up it was nice on its own. And a layer of sun protection with long sleeves! Odor control was evident, but control being the key word-- definitely not absent. I recommend this shirt and look forward to using again on the next hike and for my trip to the Tetons next month( as well as trying as a base layer for snow skiing!).

Excellent slim fit. Love that you can wear with shorts or pants, hiking and nice to wear out with friends. Very comfortable while keeping your core temperature comfortable.

I bought this Hoodie for a cold weather trip in the fall. Great fit& style. ove the black with gold contrast. It's a great base layer and will hardly takeup any carry- on room. Great produt from SmartWool!

Kevin C.
Absolutely love the lightweight fit and comfortability. It fits true to size. This is my fourth purchase of this line. Each has been exactly the same in fit and comfort. And amazingly the fabric keeps your body temperature warm yet it allows it to breathe with changing temps to create a perfect balance of core temperature.

I live in the northeast part of the country and the climate is cold in the winter. I love my Smartwool base layers. I have had earlier versions of this base layer and I was able to get a newer version on sale( lucky me!!!). I tried it on and the material is super soft and comfortable.

Joseph M.
[ This is the best mid weight zip neck base layer I ’ ve ever owned. The quality of the fabric is unmatched. I ’ ve never had a Smartwool garment that pilled. It looks good enough to wear as a shirt/sweater. The zipper is first class and the neck doesn ’ t sag. I were it as a base layer skiing all over the IS and Canada, cycling in cold weather, and under a shirt all winter to take the North Atlantic chill of fall through spring. Best of all I can wear it without worrying about the dreaded polyester stink, its stays fresh for ages.

I do n't review products often but I have had lots of Smartwool stuff and always been impressed so her goes: So far this garment is awsome. The wieght allows it to be worn as a primary layer or under a shell. Medium fits me perfectly at 70 '' and 170 lbs with a light liner underneath. The hood fits tight when in use, maybe too tight, we 'll see. after I break it in. It also covers the chin and mouth area when pulled up. It could use a chest pocket. I will be using it during a golf trip toi N Ireland with temps in the 50's and 60' with wind and rain; part of. a layering system I 'm bringing.

[ I bought this for a trip to Yellowstone national park. The color is a bit different from the photo in natural light. Less coral/orangish as I expected. A bit darker and a bit more pinkish. But it's still really pretty and of course warm and cozy as the other Smartwool 250 I owned.

Annie
[ I am addicted to smartwool 250 baselayers. They always keep me warm and hold up wash after wash. The material doesn ’ t pill at all. I wear them all fall and winter.

Connie
[ I purchased this and the smart wool 250 bottoms for camping/hiking. They are exactly what you think they are and do exactly what you want them to. Warm, lightweight, doesn ’ t stink, comfortable to sleep in and definitely a base layer option for hikes should you want one. I purchased the set on the mystery gift promo- 100% worth it. Value value value.

[ This has become my new favorite baselayer. It ’s form fitting and the multi panels really make it articulate with my movements. I wear it as my only layer in damp mid thirty degree runs. Also looks good to wear on its own out and about.

[ This is a quality built base layer and I 've worn it by itself or under a light jacket for plenty of warmth. Be advised to go one size up, especially if you have an athletic muscular build. Fits close to skin, athletic cut for sure. Looks awesome.

I like the way it fits and the pattern is too cute to cover up. ... [ Fits great, not itchy, very comfortable and breathable, warm and i like the color. ... It was also warmer than I need for cross country skiing so I ultimately return for a lighter weight

Great for a short run on a cold day. Looking forward to using this sweater during ski season. This is my second purchase of a similar product.

I bought the medium but needed a size up as it fits closely. 5'4, 130#, 34B, curvy on bottom. It was also warmer than I need for cross country skiing so I ultimately return for a lighter weight one. It is as described and nicely made, however. the wine colored one with the dots is super cute.

NickName
[ Love the pattern and softness of this top. It ’s long enough to keep it from riding up over my ski pants. It is more fitted which is good to keep the warmth in and the pattern makes it cute enough to wear casually outside of winter sports.

[ Just what I needed for a day of outdoor adventure. Warm and cozy baselayer for sub- zero days. Zips up my neck for extra warmth. Love the color as well.

[ I bought the Smartwool to keep me warm and comfortable on a 12 day trek in Nepal. The performance was outstanding and, as advertised, it was very breathable to keep me warm and even cool in the afternoons. It has a very comfortable feel and looks great as well.

[ I was looking for wool thermal layer for my husband, who runs cold. Rather than settling on a bland look, I chose this colorblock version for its added style. While he does n't fill it out quite as nicely as the model(!), he looks great in it.

This runs a tiny bit small but is an outstanding base layer.
Smartwool base layer tops are designed to provide excellent insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable. They help regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in cold conditions and cool when it's warmer. Additionally, the moisture-wicking properties of merino wool ensure that sweat is managed effectively, enhancing comfort during physical activities.
Smartwool base layer tops are primarily made from merino wool, which is known for its softness, durability, and natural moisture-wicking abilities. Some styles may incorporate synthetic fibers for added stretch and performance, enhancing fit and comfort. The combination of these materials ensures that the tops are both functional and comfortable for various activities.
Smartwool base layer tops are versatile and suitable for a variety of outdoor activities, including skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and running. Their thermal properties make them ideal for cold weather, while their moisture-wicking capabilities ensure comfort during high-intensity workouts. Whether you're layering for a winter adventure or using them for everyday wear, they provide reliable performance.
When selecting a smartwool base layer top, consider factors such as the intended activity, climate, and desired fit. Thicker options offer more insulation for colder conditions, while lighter styles are better for milder temperatures or high-energy activities. Additionally, look for features like zip necks or crew necks based on your personal preference for ventilation and style.
Smartwool base layer tops are generally easy to care for, but it's important to follow specific washing instructions to maintain their quality. Most can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and should be laid flat to dry to prevent stretching. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the natural properties of the wool.
