"Hadn’t tried a base layer top for working outdoors before. It was great! No bulk, just comfortably warm. This shirt is designed well: long enough to tuck into tights and the sleeves are long enough to hand onto as you put on your next layer."
"Love the relaxed fit, and the quality of the merino feels fabulous. Reminds me of how IB shirts felt a decade ago, only better. The blue is a very nice shade. Great investment. I will buy more over the coming year."
"I love this overall except that the neck on the women’s version is so wide. Why would that be part of the design for a UPF shirt?"
"Regular fit"
"This is a very practical and well cut long-sleeved tee that can be dressed up or down. Fabric is a nice quality thin but not sleazy. I’m pear-shaped, and the cut is generous enough that the shirt covers my hips and waist without pulling. Size medium fits my 5’6” 140 pound frame."
"I saw an online video recommending Marino wall as ideal for multiple temperature and humidity environments. I ordered this top on a whim, not expecting it to be so thin (I thought it would be bulky--so thin is good!). It's very comfortable. I really love it."
"This top is perfect in every way! More colors, please!! Wearing it for walking, hiking, gardening, working, skiing, around the house, and around town. Love that it’s pure wool, with a graceful hemline, and attractive neckline, and oh, so comfortable. Identical, but with 3/4 sleeves would be nice, too, to stay out of the way when I’m working."
"I've been slowly replacing all my synthetic clothes with wool, and I now have many different brands of shirts to compare. This is a favorite - the one I reach for All. The. Time. Here's what I love: comfortable, loose fit without feeling sloppy (and not a body fit - I hate body fit); 100% merino yet still smooth and not itchy at all; no fuss -- I can wash a dry with my other clothes rather than having to remember to cold wash and/or to hang dry; the fit is perfect for both going under sweaters and thicker layers and over tanks and tees; it has a normal tee-shirt arm seam, not a raglan seam, so that it can effortlessly go from trail to restaurant (raglan sleeves always scream "workout clothes"); and the low crew neckline is PERFECT. Regular crew necks make me feel claustrophobic, so I usually look for scoop necks, but those sometimes can be too low. Ibex found the perfect compromise on this one. I really hope this gets offered in more colors! (I love the malachite green offered on the Goat shirt, but not the neckline, so I'm crossing my fingers that color comes to the Naturalist. Or a similar jade/emerald color. If it was offered, I'd also buy this shirt in white, navy, cerulean blue, pine green, boysenberry, rosewood. . . anything but pastels, basically. Hint hint, Ibex designers. ;)"
"light weight but warm"
"The color is beautiful. The practicality is perfect!"
