The Wool Review: Patagonia Men's Merino Air Crew
This is an incredibly warm and light base layer. It was a cold day at Crater Lake with a modest wind. The Patagonia Merino Air felt comfortable and shockingly warm. The two reportable downsides are that the unconventional 'merino air' fabric has a foreign waffle feel, and that it is very expensive. It appears to be durable, but the jury is out until is survives an entire season of real wear. From a warmth, weight, and aesthetic point of view, this is a wonderful base layer, nearly living up to the considerable hype from Patagonia. Overall, a highly recommended base layer with a steep price.
