And we really need to sweat the details to make sure that we're taking care of the big picture. To us at Smartwool, the big picture is simple to identify β€” defeat climate change and make sure everyone has access to the outdoors. But it's the small choices we make every day that will make sure we get there. For us, it doesn't just start with our product, but with our community and our planet. That's why all of our Merino wool products β€” from hiking, running, and ski / snowboard socks to base layers, mid layers, outdoor apparel and more β€” come with our guarantee to remain commited to enviromental sustainability, racial equity and inclusivity, plus frequent artist collabs to stay on the forefront of high quality, sustainable fashion. Once you experience our Merino wool, you'll realize that a better future is possible. Go far. Feel good. Review: High quality, good fit, and good price - This is a very versatile mid-weight top that I wear hiking for temps from about 35 - 55. Or, if stationary, up to about 70 degrees. For me, the temperature regulation of merino is much better than any synthetic. Everybody knows wool can still stay warm when wet or damp. I find that this means it stays comfortable at both lower temps and higher temps than an identical synthetic garment. The quarter zip neck allows easy venting when needed, or neck warming when zipped. The fabric is stretchy enough that the sleeves can be moved up to the elbow. It can work well as a single layer, but most often I'll wear a tight fitting wicking synthetic shirt underneath. That adds a little extra warmth, the t-shirt can be switched out at the summit for a dry one, AND it means I can wear the merino 1/4 zip quite a few times before needing to be washed. Smartwool is owned by VF Corporation, who also also owns North Face and Icebreaker brands. Icebreaker also makes a similar item, but it costs about $50 more. The quality looks similar to me. If money is not an object for you, Icebreaker does offer more features: full zip, extended armlength with thumbholes, and hood, if desired. But if you live in a place like the pacific northwest, this LS 1/4 zip will probably be the most versatile and useful top in your wardrobe. Review: Nice, Comfortable Base Layer! - This is the second Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer that I have purchased. Great feel, great fit, washed according to directions and came out great. There is only problem that I have with this purchase from desertcart; the description clearly states that it was made in USA. The two that I have bought were made in Vietnam. While not a deal breaker for me, be aware of advertising that might not be truthful. ## Features - Odor-resistant - Temperature regulating - Will help keep you cool when your intensity amps up, and its design helps minimize chafing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BDGXD29 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Type | Pull On | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | Medium Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Heavyweight | | Apparel Occasion and Lifestyle | Outdoor | | Back Style | T Back | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,447,083 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #697 in Men's Base Layers | | Brand Name | Smartwool | | Care instructions | Machine Wash | | Closure type | Pull On | | Color | Charcoal Heather | | Cuff Type | Plain Hem | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 266 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Zipper | | Fabric Type | 100% Wool | | Fabric type | 100% Wool | | Fit Type | Straight | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Garment Size Country | United States | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00193392649831 | | Hemline Form | Straight Hemline | | Import Designation | Made in the USA | | Item Length Description | Standard Length | | Item Type Name | Men's Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4 Zip | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Smartwool | | Manufacturer Part Number | SW016355010-L | | Material Type | Wool | | Model Name | Merino 250 Base Layer 1/4 Zip | | Neck Style | Collared Neck | | Occasion Type | Birthday | | Origin | Made in the USA | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Sleeve Length Description | Long Sleeve | | Sleeve Type | Long Sleeve | | Style Name | Merino 250 Base Layer 1/4 Zip | | Style Number | Smartwool | | UPC | 193392649831 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | character | sports | | collar-type | Point Collar | ## Images ![SmartWool Men's Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4 Zip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+53YYOmKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality, good fit, and good price *by R***. on January 24, 2025* This is a very versatile mid-weight top that I wear hiking for temps from about 35 - 55.

Great feel, great fit, washed according to directions and came out great. There is only problem that I have with this purchase from Amazon; the description clearly states that it was made in USA. The two that I have bought were made in Vietnam. While not a deal breaker for me, be aware of advertising that might not be truthful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by H***O on April 4, 2023* I made this purchase last minute. I was heading out on a backpacking trip and the weather reports weren’t looking good. I knew I needed something warmer for sleep and evenings. Our first night out it got down to 19 degrees. Between my 3 weather sleeping bag and this shirt I stayed very warm. It was worth the money and I will use it for more backpacking trips along with hunting and fishing trips. I was very happy and impressed with it. It’s heavier than I like to pack for backpacking but it’s worth the weight when the temp drops below 30. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smartwool M-SMW Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4 Zip - Smartwool Women's Classic Thermal Merino Baselayer Crew - Smartwool Women's Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer Bottom --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/242456105-smartwool-mens-merino-250-baselayer-1-4-zip](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/242456105-smartwool-mens-merino-250-baselayer-1-4-zip) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
