Microweight 145 Men's Wool 1/4 Zip Woolverino

I wore this as a base layer under a dress shirt for a round-trip ski journey from NJ to Switzerland, involving flights, multiple train connections, and a long walk to the hotel. At every stage, it was perfect—soft, thin, and with an ideal sleeve and tail length.

The temperature regulation is impressive. Zipped up, it kept me warm; zipped down, it cooled me instantly to "meet the moment." It didn't retain much sweat, and what it did catch dried almost immediately. The real test was the trip home: a blizzard had dumped 8 inches of snow, taxis weren't running, and we had to haul a 50lb ski bag by its handles for a mile to the station, in addition to the luggage on our backs. I wore only this layer, a dress shirt, and a soft-shell vest. By the time we reached the train, I was bone dry and very comfortable waiting on the train platform in the snow.

After three more train transfers, check in, and the flight back, I landed in 70-degree NJ weather. I ditched the vest, went through immigration, baggage claim, and waited in full sun for my ride; I didn't break a single bead of sweat. The light grey color is versatile and looks sharp and clean. My only minor note is that the collar doesn't stand on its own when unzipped, but if you’re wearing it under a collared shirt, it rests perfectly for a dressy look. I only wish they made this exact weight in a non-zip version for layering while skiing!

Wore it everyday on my Alaskan cruise and it kept me warm and it never smelled.

If there's a better, more comfortable lightweight shirt made, let me know. I could live in this shirt 24/7. No, it's not inexpensive, but if you want the absolute best, shop no further.

Bought this for backpacking 4 days in the grand canyon. This was perfect for keeping my cool in 90F+ heat while also being odor resistant. The sizing was a bit tough. Im usually both a S/M but this ran larger so I had to return the size S and order a size M.

Great product!

During the winter I purchased a midweight Marino wool quarter zip for skiing. It came in very handy this cold winter and I loved it. Love the fit and the warmth! So I tried the micro weight quarter zip for the spring warmer weather. At first, I thought it was a little long, but I soon changed my mind and have been wearing it regularly! It is definitely micro weight but surprisingly warm and well crafted. I love Minus33!

I bought two, the hoodie and the regular 3/4 zip. Good fit and function, but I really hate the collar. The zipper comes up too high and there're really no practical way to leave it partially unzipped. It stands up and waves like a flag if it's not zipped. I may look into things like velcro stays or even shortening the zipper to make it more comfortable.

Best in class quality merino and some of the best prices around. Always my first choice.

For those who sleep with minimal covers and don't need the heaviest coat, this is the choice. I purchased these for 2 of my "warm body" adult sons, and they are perfect for base layer. Wool, but comfortable and not over heating them

I love my Woolverino not only for hiking but casual wear but you have to treat them gently. The underside of my forearms on both sleeves wore right through in a year. This time I’m not going to put them in the dryer and see if that makes a difference.Minus33 has great merino, but merino must be treated gently. It’s well worth the extra attention.

Fits great. Very light weight so perfect for active layer. Very soft comfortable material. Just what i needed for ski mountaineering.

Unreal how comfortable this wool is. Perfect for tracking big woods whitetails!

Love it, good fit, zip neck gives wide range of ventilation!

Great for summer hikes.

Woolverino Men's Wool 1/4 Zip - Micro Weight

Great layer for bike commute and bike touring- the zip is key for being able to manage your temperature. Not super warm by itself but that’s not what it’s for. I bike commute 5 days a week, including a serious climb, and it’s not smelly at all by Friday.

My husband loves his!

Quickly becoming my favorite piece. I am 5'10, 225 and xl fits great. I like that it is not skin tight and will be worn all year. After wearing minus33 it is hard to put wear anything else

I was in need of another micro weight shirt and this fit that need.

I love 1/4 zips and this one rocks! It fits great (I'm 5' 9", 150 lbs, size Med.). The only thing I would add to this design is thumb holes.

My only criticism is "made in china".

very comfortable great fit can almost where it year round

The size is a great fit. The weight of the Woolverino Micro wool is awesome- vey light and functional. This can be worn all year long, great for those cool morning rides and as it warms up just open it up a bit and I am fine. An awesome base layer that I take everywhere with me. If you do any type of activities outdoors you need this top.

I'm a regular back country skier and mountain biker in the Adirondacks. I don't leave home with out my Minus33 1/4 Zip. I own several of them. Just last week I was mountain biking on the Barkeater Trails when I got caught in a 45deg rain. No worries, I had my 1/4 zip on. The soft merino wool is 2nd to none. It will keep you warm even when wet. It's also light enough to breath. And not to get too personal, it doesn't smell like synthetics. I also have very fair Irish skin. All my Irish sweaters are too itchy for me to wear. The Merino Wool from Minus33 doesn't itch at all.

Great for fall and spring!
