Zpacks Merino Wool T-Shirt
A super comfortable base layer for outdoor adventures.
Our ultralight 3.83 oz/sqyd Trail Cool Merino Wool fabric is very breathable, but still thick enough to provide miles of durability on or off trail.
The material is stretchy, allowing it to comfortably conform to your body's movements.
Raglan sleeves provide excellent range of motion while eliminating a top shoulder seam that could rub against your backpack straps.
Sizes are US Men's, however the athletic fit and stretchy material work well for women's figures as well.
Made with a 95% Merino Wool Blend, the shirt is soft and smooth against the skin with no itchiness or transparency.
- Wool stays warm when wet and also helps with temperature regulation in warm weather.
- Merino is unique in that it absorbs odors and reduces unpleasant smells.
- This garment is intentionally cut long. Expect wool to shrink a couple inches in length if washed and dried with regular laundry. Line dry to preserve the initial sizing if desired.
All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell Jacket
Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!
– Joe B., ★★★★★
The right layer can make all the difference. That's why the Ventum Wind Shell is purpose-built for those moments when a base layer alone isn’t enough, but an insulated jacket would be overkill.
A whisper-light layer that blocks the bite of the wind while staying highly breathable on the move, the Ventum Wind Shell starts at just under 2 ounces and disappears into your pack until you need it.
Pairs well with an Octa Fleece Hoody to cut the wind and trap in warmth. Ounce for ounce the Ventum Wind Shell has the best warmth to weight ratio of anything we sell.
Whether you’re logging miles on a thru-hike or pushing big days in unpredictable weather, the Ventum Wind Shell keeps you focused on the journey, not your layers.
