Ibex Men's Woolies Crew

Itchy? No. Scratchy? No. This crushes every misperception you have about wool against bare skin.

Lightweight New Zealand 18.5-micron superfine Merino wool rib fabric
Crew neck and raglan sleeve construction with smooth flatlock seams
Layering-friendly, body hugging fit
Easy care wash instructions
Weight: 6.2 oz.

As much as you like your silky baselayers, there's not much heat retention for those cool climbing, skiing, backpacking, snowshoeing excursions in the middle of winter. If your internal thermostat tends to run a little on the warm side, microfleece layering can be a bit stifling on extended trips. The Ibex Woolies Crew is a natural alternative to technical layering, but it doesn't rub you the wrong way when you wear it against your skin. This Woolies Crew is made with Ibex's proven 18.5 micron Merino wool fabric, a great lightweight rib material that's machine washable and incredibly soft. Unlike some fabrics that are chemically treated to facilitate moisture transfer, Merino wool is naturally moisture wicking, so you never lose the performance no matter how many times you launder. The cut is contoured to hug your torso without hindering your winter layering possibilities. Find out what hikers, climbers and anglers have known for several years--this Ibex Woolies Crew has a comfortable Merino fiber that's anything but baa-a-a-a-d.

Customer Reviews for the Ibex Men's Woolies Crew

Great base layer.
Felt a little rough at first, not itchy but just not entirely soft. After a washing it felt much better and worked great under a jersey while commuting via bike.

Warm and Comfy
These are great. I own a couple of the woolies and wear for all kinds for activities. I particularly like wearing them under a dress shirt in the winter. I don't find them itchy at all. I own other wool clothing that I will not wear next to my skin. Highly recommended.

Comfortable warm base layer
High quality merino wool, not scratchy. Warm and comfy under wetsuit. Fits well.

Great base layer
Great base layer, warm, breathes, non itchey. Great fit.

Itchy and abrasive
After the glowing reviews of high quality merino wool as a base layer, I took the plunge. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the Woolies Crew was noticeably itchier and more abrasive than either Capilene from Patagonia or MTS from REI. Very disappointed. I wore it once and will try to get my money back.
