The Curated Take

By the Expert Community
4.8/5

No matter who you are, if you spend time outside in cold weather, Smartwool's Classic thermal merino base layer is for you. It's warm and comfortable on the skin, thermoregulating so you never feel overheated when working hard, and antimicrobial to stay funk free after extended use.

It's backed by Smartwool's Go Far. Feel Good guarantee, a testament to the confidence of the durability of the product. I've had this base layer for going on 6 years now and have put it through every use and abuse that skier might do to it. It never once has had threads start pulling, gotten a hole in it, or shrunk in the dryer.

The main purpose of a base layer is to fit close to your skin, wick away moisture and keep you dry. It's arguably your most important layer on your upper body when you're skiing because even if you have the warmest jacket in the world on, if you wear a cotton t-shirt that gets wet with sweat, you're still going to end up cold. Regardless of the temperature, I'm perfectly comfortable with this under my layers.

This timeless piece is very accommodating towards all body types and gives a flattering fit with it's classic lines. As someone with a stockier build, I can be self-conscious when a shirt fits tight to the body and this shirt never makes me feel like it's showing off my belly. I'm even confident to wear it stand alone around town.

Ideal for
  • The wool is soft and comfortable on the skin all day long
  • I've been in this shirt for over 6 years and it's still in perfect condition
  • Aesthetically, the classic crew cut is so attractive that I am happy to wear it as a stand alone shirt as well as baselayer
Not ideal for
  • This layer isn't going to dramatically compress when packing it but it's hardly a concern in most situations

Stay warm and comfortable during your winter adventures with the Smartwool Men's Classic Thermal Merino Baselayer Crew.

Marino wool base layers have been the standard go-to baseliners trusted by winter sports gurus for many decades. For good reason. The special characteristics of marino wool help absorb moisture away from your skin (moisture is the enemy of warmth) which keeps you warm and comfortable. It's the best material money can buy from a manufacturer that's been producing the... Read more
Ideal for
  • Very Warm
  • Excellent Moisture/Sweat Absorption (moisture is the enemy of warmth)
  • Fit is great - exactly as according to size chart and close to body but not constricting
Not ideal for
  • Marino wool is awesome at absorbing moisture, but people with sensitive skin might find the fabric rough/scratchy
  • Be careful to wash and dry as recommended, otherwise end up with a miniature / shrunken version
  • If particularly sensitive to cold, I recommend layering up and wearing 2-3 layers

Kelly made this experience easy and fun the whole way through. Incredibly knowledgeable and provided options+explanations on everything I asked. Went above and beyond to find online tools for me to self-measure foot size as I do not have any stores local/accessible at the moment. Could not be more satisfied with the help, knowledge, and access to a professional opinion that she provided.

I will never again need to google for information on skis, prices or the 100 other questions I had initially searched when looking for the right pair of skis/bindings. Elias was quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable and didn’t attempt to pressure me into a purchase. This guy is the real deal and will be the reason I continue to shop at Curated.

I've really been wanting to upgrade my gear for the past year. I got connected with Hayden and he was amazing helping me purchase my Line Blade Optics. His video review and article were super helpful. I also heard he was super famous for sending the portal in his birthday suit for a million GNAR points. 11/10 would recommend.

This is the best experience I have EVER had buying anything!! I thought after taking the survey I would just get a generic email. But the fact that they had online recommendations from a REAL person…. I’m speechless. Sammy got in touch with me right away and then called me the make the process faster.

Josh is the ultimate gear guide for snowboarding
5 /5
Not only was Josh knowledgeable on every one of my questions, but he was also very patient for the million I asked. I’m hyped for the curations that he chose for me and the explanation for why he chose them. It also helped that he was very familiar with the areas I would be riding and he made his selections based on those terrains. Now all we need is some good snow for this upcoming season!
