Smartwool Merino Intraknit 1/4 Zip is 3D-mapped for a near-custom fit and freedom of movement. Its engineered construction helps enhance your performance with a lighter weight and cleaner finish. If you’re looking for base layer clothing for cold weather, this one uses Merino Sport yarn that combines the power and benefits of Merino wool with the durability and fast dry times of polyester – creating the ultimate performance-ready top for all of your high-energy activities.
This piece is slightly warmer than the Smartwool Intraknit Active, and faster drying than the Smartwool Merino Thermal Crew.
Layering is the key to cold weather comfort. Most people understand the idea of layering their clothing for outdoor activity: first, the wicking layer; second, the insulation layer and third the wind and weather layer. The key to making it work for you just takes a little practice. A comment we often hear is that, once out on the trail for 10-15 minutes, people are too hot! What a great problem: to be too hot when you’re outside in the winter! Well, fortunately, it’s never been easier to lighten up your layers.
