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.

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. A few customers who are particularly sensitive to wool do report a slight prickling sensation, though: try wearing it for a few hours first.

How many days can I wear it without washing it?

Wool helps limit odours, so you can wear this top on several outings before washing it. It does not eliminate the need for 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 women who hike or ski and want a balanced merino base layer for active winter days, from alpine skiing to mountain hiking.

How warm are they?

Balanced warmth: warmer than the 150 version, less warm than the 240. It retains heat when you stop without overheating during activity, for skiing and winter 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 hold its shape.

What makes it different?

Fine merino yarn (19,5 µm) blended with polyester: the fabric retains warmth, wicks away sweat and limits odours from one outing to the next.

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 sweat. You can wear it over several days outdoors: the wool helps limit odours.

Because a good merino top needs to perform both on the move and when you stop.

Key features

Feminine second-skin fit

Tailored silhouette designed for the female form, for optimal contact and zero restriction.

Fitted long sleeves

Warmth down to the wrists, without riding up or getting in the way.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by this base layer, which they find very comfortable, flexible and pleasant to wear directly against the skin: the fabric feels soft, does not itch and is easy to forget. Many praise its fit, which adapts well to the body, as well as its warmth without any feeling of dampness. It has been worn for several days of hiking in temperatures close to freezing, for outdoor work and on cool outings, under a fleece or a windbreaker. A lightweight, effective first layer for winter or summer.

Very satisfied with this merino wool thermal layer. The fabric is soft and comfortable. I used it for a 7-day trek in very high mountains where temperatures ranged between -15 °C and 5 °C. Combined with a fleece and a down jacket, this garment is perfect for cold temperatures.

As a 40-year-old mathematics teacher, I must say that my recent experience with a CIMALP T-shirt has been very positive. This garment, designed by a dedicated team based in France, truly reflects their commitment to quality and functionality. I wore it for several days during hikes in near-freezing temperatures, layering it under a fleece and a windproof jacket. The fabric is remarkably soft and comfortable, providing excellent insulation without causing any discomfort. Despite the cold, I never felt chilled, especially when adding a second fleece layer during the coldest hours. Additionally, the T-shirt showed no signs of unpleasant odors, which is a testament to the fabric's breathability and quality. I chose a size M for a more relaxed fit, even though I have a petite frame (1.62m, 54kg) and a small chest (90A), and this choice enhanced my comfort significantly. Overall, the professionalism and expertise of the CIMALP team are evident in this product, making it a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts like myself.

Used during winter hikes and on a trip to Norway in February. The fabric is pleasant and warm enough without causing excessive sweating.
