Breathable, warm and wonderfully itch-free, this Merino short sleeve base layer features incredibly fine fibers from specially-bred New Zealand Merino sheep. Each fiber contains thousands of tiny little pockets that trap air to insulate you against the elements. These naturally porous fibers wick moisture away from the skin and help regulate body temperature naturally. The itch-free, antimicrobial merino wool won't hold odor and retains its insulating properties, even when wet, for superior comfort in a wide variety of conditions. Merino Advanced Performance Programme (MAPP) Merino Wool is 100% natural, sustainable and biodegradable.

Anna says:Yet another great performing merino baselayer. The sleeves are a really attractive length and they are designed to hug the shoulder and upper arm so it's perfect for layering under a long sleeve layer or jersey. It feels great next-to-skin and has a slightly ribbed texture, which allows it to stretch. The Hincapie logo isn't too loud (unless it's reflecting!) even though it's placed front and center. I was a little concerned when I first tried it on that the neckline was so high, but I didn't feel it at all while riding or running. I spent my whole Sunday sweating in this thing (biking and running) and considered washing it until I did the smell check, no need to wash it yet! When it is time for washing, it will be easy since this piece is completely machine washable in either warm or cold water. It's almost magical.
