Fit FAQs

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up or down based on what fit type you would prefer, and based on how you plan to wear the piece. Our knitted merino is stretchy and you could realistically go with either size. If you would prefer an Athletic fit, size down. If you prefer a Regular or Relaxed fit, size up.

Do I need to size up/down to layer?

Generally, no, you do not need to purchase a different size than normal. Our base layers are designed to fit right into your current layering system. They are also designed to work with other products in our line, too. You may wish to adjust your sizing if you plan to wear one of our garments in a way that it is not intended, if that's the case please feel free to contact our customer service team for help.

Does your clothing run true to size?

Yes, our clothing runs true to size and is sized similar to most other American brands. If a sizing discrepancy is discovered, you will see fit advice in that product's specific listing.

Good Fit

This is a great base layer, but also looks good on its own tucked in. I am 5'10", 155 lbs, 34D and ordered a medium. I probably could have ordered a small because it is a little baggier than I wanted it to be, but was worried it would shrink. I have washed it a handful of times and it has not shrunk. It feels soft and light, but provides good warmth. I wish it was made in the USA, but it is made in China.

My second!

I asked for a second one of these because I like the first so much. I like the neck which is between a mock and a traditional turtle. It reaches my chin but doesn’t require folding or feel constraining. Hindus: it doesn’t require washing after every wearing.

Please Make a Shorter Size

Love, love, love your products. Material and craftsmanship are excellent. I've done multiple kayaking trips around Lake Superior, backpacking trips, hiking in Iceland, where your products are my go to layers. Just wish you would make your women's sized for people shorter than 5'9. At 5''4, everything is way too long! Recent purchases of your Turtleneck and expedition weight vest (which is an amazing layer) seem to be even longer. Great company, love your products, just wish you would make a bit shorter size for women.

Thank you for your feedback and your support of our products. We are delighted to hear that you have had positive experiences with our Merino Wool Turtleneck and Expedition Weight Vest during your outdoor adventures.

We understand your concern regarding the length of our women's sizing. We are always looking for ways to improve and cater to the needs of our customers. We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration as we continue to expand our product line.

In the meantime, we recommend checking out our petite sizing options, which may better fit your height in our midweight base layer bottoms for women. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your loyalty to our brand.

Thank you for being a part of our community and we hope to continue providing you with high-quality products for your outdoor pursuits.

Best,

so sad that I can't find it

It was so lovely up until I had lost it! I'm not sure where it went, probably left in the move. These are so fashionable especially for needing to layer up.

Perfect weight for the Pacific NW fall/winter

I love this for layering over a lightweight wool cami and wearing it around town or 2-3 mile hikes in the woods or even just in my home. I can wear it 4 or 5 times before it needs to be washed.

I noticed some reviewers don’t like the neck; I wouldn’t call this a turtleneck, but I dislike anything that feels tight around my neck and this doesn’t. On me it is slightly loose and more of a mock neck, which makes me happy.

Margo,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Midweight Women's Long Sleeve Turtleneck. We are delighted to hear that you find the weight perfect for the Pacific NW fall and winter seasons. It is great to know that it serves as a versatile layering piece for your outdoor activities and daily wear.

We appreciate your feedback on the fit of the turtleneck. We strive to provide comfortable and functional clothing for our customers, and we are glad to hear that the neck does not feel tight on you. Your description of it being more of a mock neck is very helpful for other customers who may have similar preferences.

Thank you again for your review, and we hope to continue providing you with high-quality products for your outdoor adventures.

Best regards,

The Minus33 Customer Service Team

Turtleneck

I absolutely love this shirt as with all my minus 33 pieces. It is the perfect weight for me for at least three seasons. It is infinitely layer able. Hand washable, it holds its shape and is great for travel.

What I really appreciate with this company is the customer service people. I have talked to them directly about sizing and styles. One particularly difficult situation was handled quickly with a replacement piece.

From socks to leggings to T-shirts to turtlenecks, vests, and jackets, I wear a piece of this clothing every day.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your kind words about our Midweight Turtleneck! We are thrilled that you love it and find it perfect for layering and traveling. Our team takes pride in providing exceptional customer service, and we are glad we were able to assist you with sizing and styles. We hope you continue to enjoy our other products as well. Thanks again for your support!

The neck isn't right

I like the weight and fit of this turtleneck, but the neck of the top is too loose, so it sags down into an unattractive shape, so it's neither a "turtleneck" nor a "mock neck", just a shapeless blob of fabric that doesn't stay in one place. Disappointed.

Katherine, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize that the neck of our turtleneck did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your compliments on the weight and fit and will definitely take your comments into consideration for future designs. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer servic eteam. Thank you for choosing our product.

Love the warmth!

This was my first purchase from Minus 33. I love the warmth that this turtleneck gives me as an underlayer! The fabric has a nice weight to it, is very opaque, and stretchy enough to pull over my head without messing up a bun. My only surprise with this shirt was that the neck is only a couple of inches tall - more like a mock-neck than what I was expecting. I think the model in the photo has the neck of the shirt unfolded. And, hey - I bet if you guys ever offer this in a tall size (with extra length in the sleeves), you'll get even more buyers!

I am very pleased with the fit the softness the stretch and the seams. What I won’t know for awhile is if it pills. I have had one black turtleneck in 30 years that has fit the bill entirely. I hope yours will be the next an not the last!! Thanks

C.T,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Midweight Women's Long Sleeve Turtleneck. We are thrilled to hear that you are pleased with the fit, softness, stretch, and seams of the turtleneck. We understand your concern about pilling and we can assure you that our 100% Merino Wool is high quality and should not pill easily. However, if you do encounter any issues with pilling, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and we will make sure to assist you. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it will become your new favorite turtleneck!

Merino Midweight T-neck

I just LOVE this shirt!
I thank you for providing larger sizes for those of us “outdoor women” that are on that end of the size range.
The fabric is comfortable and what I love most is that the turtleneck is not binding at the neck.
I’ve purchased two of my favorite color and am looking forward to the possibility of more color options in future releases.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review!

It's perfect!

I was looking far and wide for some baselayers that fit, and more importantly, weren't just synthetic blend. I was so excited when I found that the perfect ones were from a brand right in my home state of New Hampshire! The merino wool is so soft and the fabric weight was perfect to keep me warm but not make me sweat while skiing in freezing temps on Gunstock Mountain last week. The turtleneck makes it easy to layer into my ski gear without running the risk of gapping at the neck. And most importantly: The sleeves are long enough! I am nearly 6ft and most long-sleeved clothing doesn't even cover my wrists but the sleeves on this shirt are the perfect length. I can't overstate how much I love these baselayers!

Melora,

We are so glad to hear that you are loving our Women's Long Sleeve Turtleneck! We take pride in using 100% merino wool for our products, and we're happy to hear that you appreciate the softness and warmth it provides. It means a lot to us that you chose a local brand, and we're thrilled that our base layers are the perfect fit for you. Thank you for your support and enjoy skiing on Gunstock Mountain! Stay warm and cozy.

Runs large

I was so looking forward to wearing this turtleneck, but I have to send it back. I got an x-small, and it's just too big in areas where big is not good -- through shoulders and bust. Too bad. I ordered a vest from minus33, and that is fine.
Any plans to make an 2x-small?

Marguerite,

Thank you for your feedback regarding the sizing of our Midweight Women's Turtleneck. We apologize that it did not fit as expected. We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration for the future. We are glad to hear that our vest worked out for you. Thank you for your support of minus33. Have a great day!

Really Fantastic

I got this for my wife for Christmas. She had been looking for a merino turtleneck but couldn't find one. She was absolutely thrilled when she got it. She says it's incredibly comfortable and warm (we live in Alaska) and she wears it constantly.

J,

Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that your wife loves her new merino turtleneck. Our goal is to provide comfortable and warm products, especially for those living in colder climates like Alaska. We hope she continues to enjoy wearing it constantly.

Women's Turtleneck - Love it!

This is the best turtleneck ever! I'm so glad it does not have a zipper. It's not too clingy against the neck. It can be worn full height or when rolled/folded down it sits lower similar to a typical mock neck. I love the versatility and it looks great with sweaters, too.

Deb,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review! We're glad you love the weight and feel of the turtleneck and find it perfect for all kinds of versatile winter wear!

I love turtlenecks

It's hard to find merino wool turtlenecks that don't have a front zipper, so I'm glad to know about yours. The fabric has a good weight to it, and is very soft. I only wish the turtleneck was a little higher.

Celeste,

Thank you for your review! We're glad you're enjoying our turtleneck - and we're sorry to hear you wish it was a little higher. We hope you'll continue to wear it and enjoy the great comfort it provides.
