Women's Merino Lightweight Crew

Putting the miles behind you on the Lost Coast or threading your way through downtown crowds, this adaptable crew combines the technical merits of merino wool with travel savvy styling. Worn alone in hot conditions, their lightest weight Merino baselayer exchanges heat and moisture between your skin and the air to keep you cooler and more comfortable. It also layers easily as part of a system for colder weather. Merino wool is naturally breathable, regulates body temperature and stretches. It's also wonderfully soft and naturally resists odor. Patagonia slow washes it for softness and shrink resistance, without the use of chlorine, then blend it with 35% Capilene polyester 100% recycled for durability and for dry times and moisture transfer superior to that of 100% merino. Features include a self fabric collar with internal neck tape for chafe free comfort, full underarm gussets for unhindered shoulder mobility, elastic thumb loops for secure hand coverage, low bulk merrow seams to minimize chafing, offset shoulder and side seams to lie smoothly beneath pack straps, and a drop tail for additional coverage.
