I bought three bundles of Merino base layers over the years.
The round neck, short sleeve ones were all awesome but my last bundle (bought two years ago) had a v neck version with a totally different material. It was far thinner and tightly woven. It doesn’t sit so directly hugging the skin. I swear the seems feel itchier too. It’s lasted (slightly) better, but it doesn’t do that invisible temperature regulation thing that the earlier baselayers do.
The temp range of usage for those of old baselayers is mega.
I will try the Montane t-shirts. I wish they did a light, neutral colour.
