The mens Smartwool NTS Light 200 Crew uses the natural benefits of Merino wool to create a soft, comfortable baselayer for all conditions. Merino helps regulate body temperature and naturally resists odour build up.
The benefits of merino wool as a fabric are well known to outdoor enthusiasts, and has the added benefit of being a sustainable natural resource, unlike the petroleum based synthetic fibres used in other baselayers. Merino excels at regulating body temperature, so it offers warmth when its cold and is cool when its hot. This means that merino baselayers are comfortable to wear through a very broad range of climatic conditions.
Wool, due to inherent oils, are naturally odour resistant, making it a great choice for multi day adventures. Wool also moves moisture away from the body too, and while not as efficient as lab designed synthetic fibres, it does keep you feeling comfortable and dry even when working hard.
NTS means 'Next To Skin' and this top is incredibly comfortable to wear as a baselayer. The flatlocked seams eliminate any chafing and rubbing, enhancing comfort further
