It’s a layery shirt, or a wooly for warm weather. You will freeze in it if it’s your only top on a 45-degree ride, unless you’re charging uphill. But the same lightness makes it wearable about 350 days a year. You will really, really like this top.

Harshly: If you can't wear this (due to scratchiness), you basically can't wear any wool ever, forever. It's just a fact. This shirt is so soft that, seriously, if it's too irritating to you, then somehow---between birth and now---you've devolved way past the point of functionality in the world, and it's time to toughen up a bit.

Less harshly: It's super thin, fine, soft 100 percent merino wool. It fits like a T-shirt, not a time trial jersey. It has more tailoring than we're used to—you could even say it's a slickster cut, with unnecessary panels.

Sizing: Loose. If you're between sizes, you can get the smaller. If these were women's tops, they'd be"vanity sized." Still, if you like loose, you can always buy up.

Washing: Wash cold and air dry for best non-shrinky results but if you forget and wash warm, dry warm, it will still keep most of its original size.

Color is steel blue. Lighter weight wool than our Australian-made Ktena tops.

MUSA, and more specifically, made in the Oakland, CA.
