As a middle aged ‘super medium’, it’s often a challenge to find a merino layer that isn’t either spray on or tent sized.
The cut on this is excellent, so much so it has jumped to the front of all my merino garments. It’s both heavy and light enough to cover a range of duties, and appears more robust than it’s counterparts to be found in the outdoor arena.
The anterior delt zip is a bit of a mystery, and I imagine could be bothersome under certain plate vest / ruck configurations, though note: I have had no issues with either.
No pilling or holes forming as of yet and the rear scoop is long enough (for me) to obviate having to haul it down while moving fast with a ruck.
Probably my favourite merino long sleeve in the last two decades.
Yes, that’s how I spell favourite.
