Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Baselayer Crew Top - Men's

Why We Built The Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lightweight Crew Baselayer Top

"The classic shape and crazy soft merino wool keep me comfortable during high-output backcountry sessions. The lightweight knit makes it way easier to stay active." —Gearhead® Expert Alex

We optimized the silhouette of the classic baselayer top to make the Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lightweight Crew Baselayer Top incredibly comfortable for the active winter adventurer. From in-bounds shredding to skintrack ascents, this top's body-mirroring fit, articulated sleeves, and chafe-free seams keep us cruising toward our 100-day season goals. We thoughtfully selected a sporty wool blend made with recycled content and Responsible Wool Standard-certified merino wool to be the best stewards we can while delivering top-notch quality and comfort.

Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to sell the best outdoor gear—and to create gear that’s even better through our very own gear and apparel brand.
