Performance: proffers enough insulation for cold days, but you may want to up the weight gauge when the mercury approaches freezing. Good on sunnier days with breathability top class. Flat lock seams aid comfort and the fact that seams don’t loop under the armpit means no chafing (a common problem on tight fitting tops).

Feel: typical of light Merino – smooth and comfy.

Style: aimed squarely at those who like to square up their match functionality with a dose of style with contoured body hugging fit and a grey marle finish oozing café-wear class.

Materials: merino wool.

Made in: New Zealand.
