[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ I have purchased a half dozen Carhartt Base Force crew shirts. Yes, they 're expensive. Yes, they 're worth it. They keep me extraordinarily warm, and they 're very comfortable. They 're worth every penny you 'll spend. Buy one for your dad, too. He 'll appreciate it!

[ Best value for your money as far as base layers go. You can spend 3x more on Smartwool or Icebreaker if you are looking for the best with a hefty price tag. Overall, this lives up to Carhartt ’s name

Bobby
[ I knew I was getting a good shirt because this is my second one. It fits snug enough to keep out the wind. It wicks and dries like an athletic shirt. Since it is 100% polyester, it is likely more durable than most. It keeps its shape and looks better than most.

[ Carthatt is a quality brand that is made affordable. I used this for my snow trip and it gave me warmth so I do n't have to layer too much. Very satisfied with my purchase!

[ For reference, I purchased a Medium. I ’ m 5 ’ 4 ”, 128 pounds, pear shaped, so, smaller on top, curvier on bottom. I got the black which is opaque. I wear this baselayer weight for cross country skiing when it ’s above 30 degrees or so. Smartwool varies in size for me, these are not extremely fitted like some of the 1/4 zips so go with your normal size.

KC123
[ I love this shirt. I recently got another few to fill up my wardrobe after a move from AZ to OR. I have had the originals for almost 9 years and wear them all winter long. I have been hiking, backpacking, and traveling with them and they have withstood the test of time. They are comfortable alone or as under layer. I additionally regularly wear it as a mid layer with a smartwool tank below. I truly love these shirts. If it helps, I wear an XS and am 5 ’ 2 ’ ’ and 120- 130lbs depending on the year.

I love the ease and comfort of the material. It fits TTS, and is attractive looking. It;s breathable, wicking, and keeps me cool in the summer heat. I prefer the stretchy movement of the material, and wish it came in more colors than black or purple. I love the black, but purple is too much for me!

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.

Duncanson1990
This shirt is fantastic. It ’s basically just a much needed upgrade version of the 1/2 zip elements. What I mean by that is the material is soft and comfortable and stretchy. The shirt also has a mesh ’s area running on the bottom of the arm that goes along the whole sleeve which is nice to help with cooling off. Also it seems to be lighter than the elements which helps it be a better choice to wear on warmer days. Hope these stick around and get more colors. I definitely recommend these especially if you were a fan of the 1/2 zip elements.

I love this top! I needed a new compression shirt for track and this did just the trick! The top is very comfortable and breathable. It also fit perfectly!( It's supposed to fit fairly snug so if you want it to be looser go a size or two up) I went off of the size chart! And it seems pretty accurate! I would say that it has a thinner material feel, but once you put it on it feels really nice. For reference here is my measurements! I ordered an XS Bust: 32 in Waist: 25 1/2 in Height: 5' 8

This shirt is a great baselayer and kept me warm in- 25 F weather. My only criticism is that the sleeves are a bit long so they bunch up slightly at the elbow or forearm. Otherwise, this has been great for working in really cold weather. The underarms are a slightly different material that allows for more airflow and moisture wicking and the inside is a soft, fleecy texture. Would definitely recommend.

A running base layer top is a fitted garment designed to be worn next to the skin during physical activities like running. It helps regulate body temperature by wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. This is especially important during intense workouts or varying weather conditions, as it can enhance performance and prevent overheating.
Running base layer tops are typically made from moisture-wicking fabrics such as polyester, nylon, or merino wool. These materials are chosen for their ability to manage sweat, provide breathability, and offer comfort against the skin. Some tops may also include elastane for added stretch and flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion while running.
When selecting a running base layer top, look for a snug fit that allows for easy movement without being too tight. The top should feel comfortable against your skin, with enough stretch to accommodate your running style. Consider trying on different styles and sizes to find the best fit for your body type, as this can significantly impact your overall comfort during runs.
Yes, running base layer tops are versatile and can be worn in various weather conditions. In cooler temperatures, they provide insulation and warmth, while in warmer weather, they help wick moisture and keep you cool. Layering with other clothing items, such as jackets or shorts, can enhance their effectiveness in different climates.
When shopping for a high-quality running base layer top, consider features such as moisture-wicking properties, breathability, and comfort. Look for tops with flatlock seams to reduce chafing and irritation during runs. Additionally, some tops may offer UV protection or odor-resistant properties, which can be beneficial for outdoor running.
Running base layer tops are specifically designed to be worn as the first layer of clothing during physical activity, focusing on moisture management and temperature regulation. Unlike regular athletic shirts, they are typically made from specialized fabrics that enhance performance by keeping the body dry and comfortable. The fit is usually more snug to reduce bulk and improve aerodynamics while running.
