Smartwool, Love It!! I wanted a medium to heavy weight second layer. I settled for the Smartwool Intraknit 1/4 zip base layer. I am happy with the warmth it generates just by itself. With a jacket or parka over it is great. Selecting the larger size was a good decision, Intraknit is true fit, snug. I am happy with my selection.
This quarter zip makes a great base layer for skiing, but is also great to wear with a pair of pants for a casual event. It fits close to the skin, but is not too tight. It's a beautiful shade of blue with some subtle details that elevate the look.
Used this as a base layer and lounge shirt on the Everest Base Camp trek. It is comfortable, warm, and has a great design.
Cool looking and very warm . Medium fit well I am 5-9 170lbs Matches my Filson vest perfectly
Great quality, very warm, snug fitting. It is a great way to layer up for the cold weather
Great base layer, comfortable and breathable, and looks amazing.
Expensive. Worth the cost. Kept me warm in chilly Maine.
