About this deal

There are three important functions for thumb holes on long sleeves. In addition to keeping your sleeves from rolling up, they add warmth without the need for gloves. Only wash when you really need to - A lot of technical fabrics are designed to be antimicrobial and shouldn’t hold odors. Hiking clothing doesn’t necessarily need to be washed after every use.

What we liked: Body mapped fabric vents heat, comfort, seamless anti-itch fabric, fit, functionality We love that the more prominent companies use their influence and resources to offer more inclusive sizing. I must admit that I use thumb holes a lot and can find a few persuasive benefits to them (Image credit: Emily Woodhouse) This is exemplified by certifications like the Responsible Wool Standard and ZQ-certified wool, assuring consumers that the well-being of sheep and the environment is a top priority. Responsible wool sourcing not only aligns with ethical principles but also contributes to a more sustainable supply chain. Recycled synthetic materials

Conclusion

Lightweight wool layers are often labeled as 100 merino wool or 150 merino wool weight. Those numbers refer to the approximate fabric weight of the material in grams per meter (g/m)-so these layers are often the lightest piece of clothing in your outdoor wardrobe. A synthetic lightweight layer is often labeled “lightweight” because they’re usually heavier than their wool counterparts. MIDWEIGHT MATERIAL - The material a base layer is made from can be a good indicator of how it will perform in various conditions. Below we’ll detail some pros and cons of the most common base layer materials. Ibex has long been a favorite of several testers, and the Ibex Journey, long sleeve crew base layer, did not disappoint. The Journey is a basic, lightweight baselayer made with merino wool and nylon blended fabric. The merino wool provides odor protection, while the nylon provides durability and less itch. However, we found that it still had some itchiness, surprising because our previous Ibex baselayers had zero itch. In today’s landscape of athleisure and functional wear, it’s not enough for big brands to provide useful clothing. They are always trying to provide more value to their customers.

Thumb holes: outdoor gear necessity or marketing gimmick? Thumb holes: outdoor gear necessity or marketing gimmick?

As we progress to an increasingly casual aesthetic, it is only natural that brands are looking to combine the comfort and performance functionality of outdoor apparel. The fit is not loose but not baggy, so it doesn’t hug the body. We like this fit as it offers excellent freedom of movement and doesn’t scream “athletic wear.” The arms are an excellent length — just beyond the wrist on our testers. However, our female tester found that the torso length was too short and constantly pulled it down. She also found the terracotta color was slightly sheer, and her darker bra showed through. But that’s to be expected from a 150-weight material. Sustainability has become an increasingly prominent focus within the outdoor industry, and this commitment extends to base layers. In the current landscape, two significant sustainability trends have emerged, reshaping how we think about base layer materials.

We fully understand how tough it is to find trustworthy gear advice, and that’s one of the main reasons we built CleverHiker. We live for outdoor adventure, and we take these guides very seriously. Here are some of the reasons you can trust us: Heading out for a casual bike ride or ramble? Look no further for your perfect base layer. Our panel was impressed by its temperature-regulating ability, saying it felt pleasingly warm to wear, and loved its choice of four designs. Dave wearing the REI Sahara Shade Sun Hoodie and prAna Stretch Zion Shorts on Silver Star Mountain. One of the things we liked the most about the Crater Lake is the value for the price. There are less expensive synthetic base layers out there. But the UV protective fabric on the Crater Lake is much thinner and more breathable. Unlike the Patagonia Cool Lite Hoodie, the hood stays in place. Similarly, the Merino All Season is designed to go in a washer with regular detergents, whereas other base layers like those by Helly Hansen (which we didn’t test) recommend Wool Wash or BaseWash to preserve the fabric while cleaning. While we generally recommend line-drying all your base layers to preserve the integrity of the fabric, you can toss the Merino 150 in the dryer on low heat.
