At A Glance:
Smartwool Men’s Merino 250 Baselayer 1/4-Zip
One of Smartwool’s most popular baselayer tops is the Merino 250 quarter-zip. This baselayer is made for cold temps, so it’s best used for chilly resort days, or any other frigid endeavor you may find yourself in. It’s also designed with special seams to help reduce chafing in high-rub areas. And at over 50 percent off the retail price, you can’t go wrong stocking up for chilly days ahead—but don’t wait too long as inventory is low.

Baselayers don’t need to be basic, especially when they’re as reliable as Kari Traa makes ’em. The Fryd is designed for high-impact activity, and the moisture-wicking fabric knows how to handle sweat. With three super-cute floral designs, the baselayer also pulls double-duty and fits right in at the après bar.
