This was my first merino top ever. I bought it first of all because I'm a tall girl and sought everywhere for a turtleneck with long enough sleeves, and second of all I wanted a "city-appropriate" piece that easily transfers to a warm camping layering piece. I'm a minimalist so I need my clothes to serve multiple purposes. I received the turtleneck and the fit was incredible; absolutely flawless, what can I say. First I thought that because it's a bit sheer it will only look good but doesn't necessarily keep you warm. BOY WAS I WRONG! I'm always cold but this kept me so comfortable the whole day; from a packed commuter bus to a day at the office, November breeze, and even a sweaty stair hike. At the end of the day there was no smell even in the armpits (yup, I sniffed), it kept its shape and any moistness I created during my hike got quickly ventilated away. I'm in love, and already about to place an order for my next piece. I don't think I can thank you enough!
