About this product

Pure merino is warm and slow to smell, but it wears through at the shoulders under a heavy pack. The Linnet blends merino with recycled polyester for strength, and it dries overnight in a hostel drying room.

We shaped it for women with a slightly scooped neck and a longer back. The 150g/m² fabric works for three seasons, on its own or under a fleece.

  • Merino and recycled polyester, half and half
  • Shaped fit, longer back, scooped neck
  • Dries overnight in a drying room
  • Flat seams sit well under pack straps

    Nice, colour paler

    Lovely to wear. The pink is lighter than it looks online, more of a pale rose.

    Best base layer I own

    Wore it for a week on the Cambrian Way and it held up far better than my merino ones. Soft against the skin, no itch.
