Plus size merino wool mix, long-sleeve base layer top with zip, for outdoor adventures.
Soft, Non-Mulesed Merino Wool Blend For Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Performance.
The Alpine Onset Merino Plus 150 Half Zip is a soft, breathable, moisture-wicking top designed for use as part of a strategic layering system for active outdoor wear while skiing, snowboarding, climbing, hiking, and more.
Crafted with a non-mulesed merino wool blend, this quick-drying base layer hoodie is soft to the touch and moves and stretches with the body. The lightweight construction provides breathable warmth without the bulk, and UPF 30 protection allows for layer shedding while still protecting from the sun. The flat-seam construction ensures chafe-free performance, while the raglan sleeves and thumb holes are thoughtful additions for dialed in fit and function.
When layering up for a long day in the mountains, on the bike, or a chilly morning workout, the Alpine Onset Merino 150 Half Zip is the ideal foundation to the perfect layering kit.

Why we love the plus size Alpine Onset Merino 150 crew base layer
Finding technical outdoor clothing that fits women's plus size bodies has always been a huge struggle. This Merino-mix base layer brings technical features to plus size adventurers for the first time, up to a size 30!
Outdoor Research worked with plus-size people in the USA to re-create the patterns for their best selling products, using measurements from real plus size people. This means the arms aren't ridiculously long, the trouser rise works for bigger bums, and overall, the coats are shaped to fit the different proportions of plus size bodies. Hurrah! Technical outdoor clothing that fits at last.
