Product Description

Such goals as climbing Denali or spend 50 days on your skis this year involve a lot of time spent in your thermal underwear. For such endeavors you might as well be as comfortable as possible, starting with the unbeatable next-to-skin comfort of the Ibex Men's Woolies Zip T-Neck. Consisting of soft, itch-free merino wool, this performance base layer also contributes a natural ability to fight odor, stretch without permanently losing shape, and move moisture and breathe in such a way that it not only insulates effectively, it also feels comfortable as you heat up. The Ibex Men's Woolies Zip T-Neck has a 9 inch zipper that's great for venting when you're ferrying loads on a glacier climb. Likewise, when zipped to the top of the t-neck, it offers a warm layer of protection later in the day as you huddle around your camping stove. The Ibex Woolies Zip T-Neck for men is also machine washable, demonstrating that, in addition to its itch-free feel, performance wool garments of today have moved way beyond the woolies of old.

Ibex Men's Woolies Zip T-Neck - Stone Grey S Review

I do a lot of outdoor activities, winter sports and cold-weather camping, so I purchased this Ibex 150 weight Woolie Zip-T to wear as a base layer, and to compare the comfort and effectiveness of merino wool with that of a silk and of a polypropylene base-layer (both of which I own and have used extensively).

I have found the smooth merino fabric very comfortable to wear next to my skin, and while I initially considered the material a bit thin when worn with just a vest on a cool day, once I added a shirt I was very comfortable (by itself, the light-weight 150 merino material doesn't do much to stop the chilling effects of a breeze so in cool or cold weather you definately need to wear someting over it), and after I reduced my outdoor activity level this merino wool base-layer remained very comfortable throughout the day (unlike polypropylene which can get and remain a bit sticky). Being able to zip this base-layer either open and closed, is also a definite plus for maintaining comfort.

Extended wear: I wore this article on mid-December campout for three days with a sweater as a midlayer and a fleece jacket as an outer layer and was very comfortable throughout that time (temperature in the 30's Fahrenheit during the day)... and although I could have changed into a spare that I had in my pack it wasnt necessary. Since that time, I have also worn this as a base along with a mid-layer vest and light shell top while cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing with the temperature in the mid-20s and have been very pleased with its comfort-performance.

Temperature range: While I was very comfortable wearing this under a sweater and fleece (no coat) during 25-30 degree weather on the recent campout and subsequent winter sport activities, I think that I would have to beef this article up with a second intermediate base-layer for colder weather... or perhaps try the 220 weight ibex base which I have not yet purchased.

I've also worn this article under a shirt for casual wear and it proved very comfortable both inside and out. The zipper top makes it very easy to regulate temperature level.

Laundering: The merino top has been easy to launder (I use Woolite on gentle cycle in the washing machine, and after the spin cycle, dry it flat on a dry towel ... it dries in about 5-6 hours although I expected it would dry a bit quicker). I've washed this item once by hand and three times in the washing machine... both ways work fine.

Would I buy this article again? Yes, I like the woolies 150 weight Zip-T enough that I have recently purchased a second one along with the bottoms. While they definitely provide a very comfortable base layer (and I'm able to remain comfortable even after several days of outdoor wear), what I like most about them is that they stay comfortably warm even when damp with perspiration and after my activity level slows down while still outside in cold weather. I have also subsequently purchased several pairs for members of my family.

Note about size: While the Ibex size XL large is a perfect fit for me (I'm 5'10" and 210 pounds and wear a size 45-Reg jacket or suit coat), I purchased one each in the large-size of these for my son and two nephews as gifts. They are all an inch or two taller than I, and all are 30-35 pounds lighter in weight (my son wears a size 40-42 jacket)... and all liked the relative close-fit of the large-sized Woolie Zip-T as compared to the definite tight-fit of the medium-sized Woolie zip-T.
