The North Face Women’s Ultra-Warm Wool Crew

Pros:

The North Face’s spin on a standard women’s base layer, the Ultra-Warm Wool Crew has a few features that separate it from the competition. First off, our tester loved the material—the 100% merino base layer is thin, soft against the skin, extremely breathable, and warm. Our tester also raved about the band around the hem, which helps to keep the Ultra-Warm Wool Crew from riding up. The thumb holes are a handy touch, too.  

Cons:

If you’re searching for a skin-tight fit, look elsewhere or size down. This TNF base layer is on the loose side.

Tester Comments:

“I love this base layer! When I’m in the backcountry—or even in the resort—sometimes I have to deal with base layers riding up. The band around the hem keeps that from happening, no matter how hard I’m pushing.”

Bottom Line:

The Ultra-Warm Wool Crew is an expertly executed base layer that winter-loving ladies will appreciate.
