I've been a merino wool hoarder since 2011, when I first discovered the material. I've had clothing from Minus 33, Smartwool, Icebreaker, Ibex, Ridge, Sheep Run, Woolpower, WoolX, Meriwool, Badlands, Tad Gear, and many other brands. This is as good as any of them. Nice flatlock stitching, nice snorkel hood, wonderful 95/5 main body material, spacious pockets, chest pocket pull cord. I bought a medium, and it fits ever so slightly on the larger side of a medium size jacket, which is fine. I would have bought two during the sale but it only let me buy one! I love it!
