The North Face Softwool 1/4-Zip Wool Top - Men's

The North Face Softwool 1/4-Zip Wool Top - Men's description

The North Face Men's Softwool -Zip Wool Top uses Australian merino wool to give you a softer feel than traditional wool and a greater comfort range than synthetic fabrics.

Bottom Line: Base layers take on another level of versatility.

I'm a big fan of merino wool, in fact I'm progressively phasing out my synthetic base and mid layers. So yeah, with merino you always get superb breathability, wicking, quick drying and insulation while wet. It's also a lot softer than wool. However this North Face merino crew is unbelievably soft. Seriously, I had to check the label a few times to make sure it was 100% merino wool. I own, use and love other merino wool shirts, and love them, but they're not as soft as this guy. *Please note this is the same review that I posted for TNF Softwool Crew. I bought both at the same time.
