Super Comfortable

Overall great quarter zip so far. Little bit lighter weight than I expected, but it is comfortable and fits well. Will be a great layering piece for next hunting season

Great piece if gear

I really like the fit of the shirt and the feel. The 220 is a great layer or mid layer depending on the weather. Really like it. I would say for me, I needed an XL at 5’-9” and around 210 as I don’t like things super tight on me. I wouldn’t say it runs small but if you are a bigger frame and weight the sizing is small compared to other clothing brands out there. I wouldn’t say say it is true to size but order based on the fit you like.

Nice shirt but it was partially snagged in transit. Kept it anyways since it is intended to wear under a shirt and did not want to go through the hassle.

Another quality merino product.

Buying in to the merino system, this price of apparel is the mid weight in my merino layer arsenal. I mix and match with other items, but few exhibit the comfort, temp tolerance and style that the sitka merino lineup delivers.

Love it

The Sitka Core Merino 220 Half-Zip is an excellent midweight base layer—warm, breathable, and incredibly comfortable. The merino wool regulates temperature well and naturally resists odor, making it perfect for long days in the field. Durable construction and a great fit make it a go-to piece for layering in cool to cold conditions.

Great Midweight Baselayer

This is a well made baselayer. The XL size is perfect on me. It is warm and very comfortable. I really like the zip tee too as it makes it easy on & off as well as helps you cool off quickly if I hike in it. I’ll be buying more of these!

Great Layer. Great Shirt

Warm and the wool is softer than cotton. Loved wearing this by itself when inside when it was winter and as the second layer when going outside in the coldest weather. I bought the first one. Liked it so much I bought 4 more.

The large was a little big for me. Wish I would’ve got a medium, but I highly. My opinion, the size is about true fit. I just bought the wrong size. I’m usually in between a medium and a large.
