Care for your layer
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F). Use a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent. Wash with similar colors. Don't bleach or use fabric softener.
Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry, twist, or wring. Cool iron if needed. Store folded in a cool, dry space with airflow; avoid hanging.
Naturally dyed colors can transfer with sweat or friction. Wear them with dark clothing or equipment, wash sparingly, and avoid citric acid, which can lighten the color.

I absolutely love the quality, the smell and feel of the material!
Customer service was wonderful when I exchanged for larger size.
Would definitely buy again. Once I retire I plan to live in this clothes!

I first bought the relaxed fit t-shirt first -but thought the almost jewel neck was not really going to work for backpacking, so bought this crew neck. Better fit, a little higher neck line though a little lower than my merino wool hiking shirts. But I thought it performed great- no odor after 5 straight days of backpacking and quick drying.
Hi Sherry, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear the crew neck worked well for your backpacking trip, and it’s great to know it kept fresh and comfortable out on the trail!

I like this shirt more than I expected, a great fit and super comfortable. No scratchiness and never stinks no matter how active I am.
Hi Faith! That’s awesome to hear! Glad the fit and comfort exceeded your expectations, and even better that it stays fresh no matter how active you are. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I'm wearing one now, under a short sleeved shirt, and it is serving me well on a day with a low temperature in the 50s, a high temperature of almost 80, and muggy. I've wanted true red base (or only) layer tops for a very long time, and these are soft, have a nice boat neck (not a crew neck, in my opinion), and are generally lovely. The color works with black and white, green and tan, and almost everything I own. I'll probably wear these in every season other than the depth of winter. While they'll be a good insulating layer, I don't want to hide them under turtlenecks and they belong next to skin.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying your new red base layers and that they’re versatile across different temperatures and outfits. It’s great to know the soft feel, boat neck, and color hit the mark for you. Sounds like these will become a favorite for many seasons to come!

I ordered the short sleeve ultralight crew neck because I own the long sleeve ultralight crew neck and I really like it.
When I finally received it over 8 months later the neck opening is huge. Definitely not a crew neck. As requested, I sent them pictures of the new ‘crew neck’ compared to the one I already had and was told they were forwarding it to their quality control department and to “allow a few days”. Well it has been almost 3 weeks and I have yet to hear anything back, yet I got an email yesterday asking me to leave a review ,so here it is.
