When you’re preparing for an adventure one of the first things that usually will come to mind is what base layer you may select. Some features of a good base layer are to keep you warm, wick sweat, be lightweight and fit well. While on my adventure at Preston Island I was wearing the Minus33 Yukon Men’s Expedition Crew. Here are my thoughts and overall review of this item. Features
- 100% Merino Wool
- Expedition Worthy Gear
- Machine Washable/Dryable
- 17 oz
- It’s Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) is 50+, which means it is excellent for sun protection
- Color: Black
- Wicks Sweat
- The shirt performed really well on the entire trip to Preston Island and back.
- Even though I was paddling in my kayak, fighting through brush and exploring an island I still did not overheat at all.
- I stayed at the perfect temperature on the entire trip. I never got cold even though the wind was blowing around 30mph the entire time.
- The shirt fit extremely well, not too tight and not too lose, a perfect fit.
- I was sweating while out there exploring but the shirt never gained any kind of stench which was nice.
- When I was sweating the sweat wicked away fairly well so I did not have to worry about my shirt getting drenched.
- The extra 50+ UPF sun protection was a really nice feature to have while out there on my adventure.
- The price is around $100
- The ideal user for this shirt is someone who really loves to get outdoors and go exploring.
- The shirt also can be used by anyone who lives in environments that have colder winters (me in Northwest Ohio) because it is versatile enough to be a stylish base layer where ever you may go.
- Another person this shirt could be used by is a hunter who hunts when the weather gets cold and they need to stay warm.
- All of the features are ideal features for a shirt you are wanting to take on an adventure with you.
- It’s warm, lightweight, wicks sweat, offers sun protection, can be stylish and is versatile.
- The main con was the price but $100 is worth for a good, high quality base layer.
