I am a small woman and purchased the kids XL top. It is wonderful! It is warm and soft. It also washes beautifully. I liked it so much I bought it 2 other colors :-) It's great for walking my dog in the fall mornings and I will be wearing it as a base layer come winter. It is very easy to layer.
I bought the Medium for the smartwool class thermal merino crew base in grey with the cute animal print. Pic was not available when I made the purchase online. This runs very small and will need a large for my 9 year old who just started to wear medium in other popular baselayer brands.
Great wool shirt- perfect weight…i am a woman’s small and this kids XL fits perfectly great color.
My son wore this to the zoo (along with his new merino socks!) and loved it. He was hot (it's 110 out) but his sweat died so fast it wasn't uncomfortable and I didn't have to worry about sunblock (hate the stuff). We also took it on vacation and he wore it 4 or 5 days of the 8 we were gone. I hand washed it once (no washing machine available) and then it fell in the creek. After it dried, we finally retired it to the dirt laundry. I was really impressed with how well it wore. He had it on creeks, in the woods, out fishing, playing in the backyard, in the airport - it looked just as good at the end (after it dried from its creek bath) as it did at the beginning - it was just finally smelling like it needed to be laundered! I was hesitant to pay this price for a kids shirt but it was well worth it.
I bought this for my daughter in anticipation of an Alaska vacation. This baselayer couldn't have worked out any more perfectly. It kept my daughter warm with no complaints, and when she was too hot, she could take it off and it rolls down to almost nothing and fits in my pocket! This will be put in the regular rotation now that we are back home. A baselayer that looks great, functions great, and doesn't elicit complaints from my 8 year old? It's the rare trifecta.
Please stop throwing all items, even socks without individual packaging, into a single layered plastic mail bag. All items that I purchased online were placed in one single mail plastic bag. It's been raining in the area and I guess there's been holes in the bag, my items were drenching wet!! very disappointed!! You'd get better packaging at dollar general...
Bought an XL for my son who's 11, 59in tall, 26in waist, 30in chest, and sleeves are already a couple inches too short. Shirt itself is also short. Going by the size chart this was supposed to be oversized for him if anything. Either I received a wrongly sized item, or smartwool sizing is way off, or, and I hope that's not the case, smartwool is trying to save on cost by shrinking the product.
This product is such a win win. Super warm, great for those days when everyone else wants to stay inside but you know Mother Nature will be so fun to ski/board, snowshoe and toboggan! Also great for the kids who is always cold in the winter! Best part, if its been a long day outside, they are comfy enough to go straight to bed in as pjs (might want to skip the big comforter tho!).
Unmatched quality in a cool itch-free perfect athletic fit that hugs you in comforting dry warmth, unparalleled all day and night softness that my eight year old son says he wants to live in this base layer because he LOVES them so much. Kid tested and 100% Dad approved. We just found and now love your products and we'll be back for more!!!
I am a small woman, and I've found that a kid's XL fits me better than a woman's size Small in the Merino wool base layer shirt. So now I've bought several of them in different colors. They are soft, warm, and wick well. They are machine washable and dryable, which is convenient.
