Merino is one of the most widely used fabrics in outdoor apparel, but until now, it lacked the durability serious adventurers demand. Bushbuck Merino is the solution. The Merino Wool 200 Half Zip is a versatile, functional, comfortable mid-weight base layer. It can be worn on its own in warmer weather or as part of a layering system in cooler temperatures. The unique Merino/Cordura® blend has excellent abrasion resistance, so you can feel confident to push the limits. Featuring a raised collar for sun protection and extra warmth, a low half-zip for temperature regulation, mesh vent sections for added breathability, and a secure chest pocket, the Merino Wool 200 Half Zip is an essential item for every adventurer's pack. This shirt's abrasion-resistance has been independently tested and found to be 5x stronger than regular spun Merino wool.
