Ibex Men's Woolies Crew Ibex: Men's Woolies Crew

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

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.

High quality merino wool not scratchy. Warm and comfy under wetsuit. Fits well.

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.

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.
