Which version should I choose: 150, 200 or 240?

The higher the fabric weight, the warmer the top. The 150 provides light warmth for strenuous activity in cool weather; the 200 offers balanced warmth for skiing and winter hiking; the 240 provides extra warmth for the coldest days. In extreme cold, add a fleece layer over the top, whichever version you choose.

Which size should I choose?

Choose your usual size and check it against the size guide on the product page. The fit is close to the body, like a second skin; some very tall customers find the sleeves a little short.

What should I wear over this top?

Wear it next to your skin as a base layer: a cotton t-shirt underneath traps moisture and leaves you cold when you stop. In cold weather, add a fleece, then a waterproof or windproof jacket to protect against rain and wind.

The merino yarn is fine (19.5 µm) and designed not to itch. However, a few customers who are very sensitive to wool report a slight tingling sensation: try wearing it for a few hours first.

How many days can I wear it without washing it?

Wool limits odours, so you can wear this top on several outings before washing it. It does not replace washing: how many days you can wear it depends on exertion and temperature.

Can this top be machine washed?

Yes. Wash it inside out on a delicate or wool cycle at no more than 30 °C and 500 rpm, using a quality detergent and no fabric softener. Do not tumble dry, as it may shrink. Lay it flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.

Garment construction, weaving or knitting, dyeing and printing are carried out in China.

Are the bottoms shown in the photos included?

No, this top is sold separately. The bottoms shown in the photos are a separate item.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

For hikers and skiers who want a balanced merino base layer for active winter days and several days of wear at a mountain hut.

How warm are they?

Balanced warmth: warmer than the 150 version, less warm than the 240. It keeps you warm at rest without overheating during exertion, for winter skiing and hiking.

What is it made of?

Our CIMAWOOL technology: 50% merino wool (19.5 µm) and 50% polyester. The wool regulates temperature, while the polyester helps the fabric keep its shape.

What makes it different?

Fine merino yarn (19.5 µm) blended with polyester: the fabric retains warmth, wicks away moisture during exertion and limits odours between outings.

The merino top that keeps you warm when you stop

Too light and you shiver when you stop. Too heavy and you overheat on the climb. A base layer needs to handle both.

This merino wool top regulates body temperature and wicks away moisture during exertion. You can wear it on several consecutive days outdoors: the wool limits odours.

Because a good merino top should work just as well when you’re moving as when you stop.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers love how warm it is despite its thin construction: it comfortably lasts through a full day of skiing, can be worn for several days and also works well as a base layer for everyday use or work. Many appreciate its comfort, accurate fit and pleasant fabric. They also praise its temperature regulation: moisture is efficiently wicked away, with no feeling of cold or odour after hiking. Choose the weight according to your activity, though: some find it too warm for Madeira, while others would have preferred something warmer.

Highly recommended as a first layer on extremely cold days. It maintains the feeling of warmth even when you stop, unlike normal thermals.

Perfect for a full day of skiing. I even wear it for 2 or 3 days. I'm waiting to be able to use it for glacier hiking and snowshoeing. But I think it'll be great! Well done, in any case. I also use a Guide Pro jacket. This is my second one after the first one lasted almost 10 years.

Meets my expectations. Satisfied with my choice. I'm currently using it as a base layer for work. It allows me to avoid wearing multiple layers of clothing. I highly recommend it!
