Smartwool  Thermal Merino Rib Crew - Women's

The negative reviews that say this top snags are NOT wrong. However, the benefits far out way that one problem. I already owned four when I purchased this one so was aware that I would need to use some caution. BUT it is lighter, softer and dressier than the other Smartwool long sleeved tops so it is perfect for home, office, going out, etc. It does run large. In any other base layer I would be a small or in some cases a medium. The xsmall was perfect as it didn't hug my body too tight - just a more relaxed fit. Love it and would buy more if they come up with more colors.

Pretty color and flattering fit, but its not soft on the inside and felt itchy, uncomfortable against my skin. I was so looking forward to this piece, but ended up returning.

Not pleased. This fabric VERY easily snags and is already (by 3rd time wearing, low activity) doing a kind of pilling. This fabric seems like a synthetic, and is not durable at all esp. compared to my 3 wonderful smart wool base layer tops, which feel like the nice fine wool that they are. And please *note* that a small runs so large now that it's really nearly a large. Other than these two problems, mostly the snagging, it's nice, but I'd like to return it. First Smartwool item I have wanted to return.

I'm waiting for cooler weather to wear this but my first impression is that I'll enjoy it and possibly buy additional colors. The fabric is slightly thicker than a base layer but thinner than a wool sweater. I plan to wear it alone and also layer under a heavier garment. I'm 5'4"", 122lbs, and wear a size small. It fits as described--regular (not snug). The sleeves are a little long (as shown in the photos) but not an issue.

Exactly what I was hoping for in a winter wardrobe staple! I'm sure I'll reach for it often. I usually wear a small or size up to a medium for a more relaxed fit, and the medium is perfect. It seems to be nice and warm but breathable, and I bet would make a great base layer for every day or for any outdoor activity. I haven't run in it yet, but I plan to give it a try!

I ordered my usual size small and it was just a bit large prior to washing and now it fits perfect. So comfy and a flattering fit. This is just mid-level warmth. Perfect for the office, going out, or around the house. I would not wear this for skiing or other outdoor activities as there are warmer Smartwool options. Please offer more color choices!

I have bought many Smartwool products over the years. This shirt is first time I've been dissatisfied. I bought two and one already has a small hole in the front from a snag and the other now has snags too. The material is not good for everyday wear and I hope you can reintroduce a better one because everything else is good about it.

I love wearing this sweater for the look, the fit, and the weight, and would buy another, but am having trouble justifying the cost for a garment that is strictly casual and so basic in design. It does snag easily and I have cut multiple loose threads off of it. If it were to go onto a deep-discount sale, I would purchase another.

I love this sweater because it is a little heavier than a 150 or 250 material sweater, but it's not a heavy winter sweater. That makes it perfect for warmer weather, when I need something to keep me warm in the evenings when walking the dog or hiking or camping. This is my second sweater in this style only a different colour.

I have several Smartwool sweaters, base layers and socks and have never had a problem with quality. I bough this in grey and dark blue. The material is really thin and the grey one has snags on it after one wear and I wasn't around anything to snag it. I will be returning both as the quality is not what I expect
