Icebreaker Sport 320 Nomad Hooded Shirt - Merino Wool, Midweight, Long Sleeve (For Women)

This is probably icebreaker's most versatile piece. Incredibly warm for the weight, the hood is perfect for wearing either on its own or it layers well with a balaclava and climbing helmet if needed. I've used this high altitude moutaineering, climbing long alpine routes, skiing, and hanging around town. It does it all, is warm and not itchy, fits perfectly. I love all icebreaker stuff, but this is their best item.

This is a great icebreaker piece. I got a M based on other comments, but am wishing I had a small (none left in the color I want) as it is a touch big all around. It is warm, lightweight, 'packs small' for travel, and will be used over and over.

I love the idea of a hood so much this is the second one I purchased! It will be wonderful to wear on really cold winter days under a hat to give my neck and cheeks extra protection from the cold. (I don't like wearing balaclavas and I hope this will work as well as one.)

As advertised, it's not itchy. Feels silky & warm. It's not bulky so you can wear it comfortably under a jacket or other layers. I ordered the raspberry color; it's a good deep shade, not eye poppingly bright. I really liked the thumbloops. I use them not only to keep hands warm, but as an aid to getting sleeves into jackets without bunching up.

A great under-layer but attractive enough to wear as an outer as well. I haven't given it the ultimate test yet - going to a very cold, windy place next month, but I think it will work well as part of a layered system. One thing that just knocked me out - I did a test wash, hung it up, and it dried overnight (maybe sooner!). This is crucial in my travels where there's not much room for packing, clothes must be worn for several days in the field, and there are seldom any opportunities for laundry service. I was astonished and delighted.
