It’s odd to find an item of clothing that performs well across the seasons, yet that’s just what we have here with the Merino Mesh.
I’ve found that with the right windproof jackets it works well on cold winter days, and with thinner long-sleeve jerseys it manages to work into double-figure temperatures as well. I can’t think of another base layer that does this and works across such a wide temperature range.
