A reliable base layer is a must for year-round alpine touring. The men's Ortovox 230 Competition Zip-Neck top is light, flexible and knit to keep critical zones warm, others well ventilated.
- Basic ribbed structure made from 190 g merino wool blend has high elasticity to provide maximum freedom of movement
- Produced using an almost entirely seamless circular knitting technique that strategically body-maps different thicknesses of knit
- Breathable mesh zones ensure ventilation where you generate the most heat while 240 g merino wool warms areas more sensitive to the cold
- With a diameter of 16.5 microns, the merino fibers feel soft and comfortable on the skin while still maintaining durability and quick-dry properties
- Light-to-dark color gradient is created by knitting in mottled yarns
- Close fit
- OWP merino wool meets the Ortovox Wool Promise

secret inside scoop ha-ha...Sweeet merino top!
2 years ago
stoked beyond belief that I rolled the dice on this merino wool zip top. before we get into the quality details lets address the online color. First off, it's a darker muted blue not bright at all perfect. The stitching accent color is a nice lighter orange not gold or yellow. details...after a dozen Smartwool 250/150 tops and a number of Icebreaker 260's, Houdini and Norona merino wool tops this Ortovox 230 stands at the top of the heap. For fit the raglan sleeve is always a plus especially if you have a bit broader shoulder or longer arms it's just feels smoother with no extra seams. I am 5'11" 172 lbs. 34/35 sleeve and 34/35 waist and I sized up one notch to XL and it is perfect. These are not loose tops but have a slimmer cut and 4-way stretch.

Got this to replace an older base layer that got eaten by moths. I wore it on a multi-week January tour of Israel-Jordan-Romania, where I was limited in the amount of luggage I could carry, and needed to layer. This garment worked like a charm in Romania, which was 20-30 degrees F lower than Israel-Jordan. I plan to use it for winter cycling in Maryland, USA. I like that it's from Poland. Now is a good time to be supporting Eastern European economies.

Nice looking but cut way too tight!

I first ordered a size medium, but it was far too tight and constricting for my slightly overweight torso. I exchanged for a large, but encountered the same problem. I concluded that the fit is really for slender people with little or no body fat! Nice looking product, but not for me.
