An industry leader in Merino wool apparel, Ibex makes top-notch baselayers for shoulder season and winter activities where temperatures and weather vary along with exertion levels. Merino crushes alternative fabrics with its moisture-wicking, breathability, and thermoregulating capacities. I tried out this long-sleeve crew top while muzzleloader hunting for elk this fall, but due to the extreme fall temps that weekend, my need for a base layer was limited to early morning stalking hours. Nevertheless, I appreciated the light and comfortable feel and that these Ibex base layers come in a variety of colors, including hunting-season-friendly olive green. MSRP: $115. Ibex.com
