"Soft, breathable, and warm. Those would be the three ways I’d describe this long sleeve base layer after testing it out for the past few weeks. I was able to use the Oasis Crewe multiple times – primarily for cool/cold weather hiking as well as on a couple of my runs. This was my first time experiencing Merino wool, which I can confidently say is MUCH more comfortable than the wool I grew up using. No itchiness, no excessive warming and overheating, just comfortable fabric that breathes well but also does a great job keeping you warm. I used the 260 Oasis Crewe both as a layering option and a standalone shirt on hikes that weren’t quite cold enough to warrant multiple layers. As a standalone shirt for both hikes and higher output activities like my morning runs in 35-45 degree weather, the fabric is breathable enough to not overheat but warm enough that I didn’t feel like I needed another layer. I was also surprised at how little the shirt smelled, even after a 3-mile run. It also surprisingly wasn’t damp or heavy with sweat like I had expected after my runs. I also paired the Crewe with a vest for a lower-output, colder hike and felt very comfortable without feeling like I needed another layer. I’m excited to continue to use this layer with ski season approaching, as this shirt will definitely be a consistent part of my base layer rotation this season. I went with a size large for this shirt (5’10”, 175 lbs - I tend to fluctuate between mediums and larges for tops) because I didn’t want too tight of a fit. This shirt definitely had a slightly looser fit, so I’d recommend ordering your normal size or sizing down slightly if you’re between sizes like me. My only drawback about this product that keeps me from giving it a 10 is how easy it is to misshape the shirt after washing. To be fair, the packaging has clear instructions on how to wash and dry the garment. I made the mistake of using a hangar to dry the shirt the first time I cleaned it which left me with some hangar-shaped shoulder pads in the shirt – rookie mistake on my part. So be sure to follow the instructions to flat or line dry the garment to avoid any issue. Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Icebreaker in exchange for my honest review"
