This ’18-’19 staff gear recommended item is no longer available. Anyone know of a good substitute, either Smartwool or another company? Smartwool customer service is silent on the issue. Not sure why they even have a contact us page as they don’t respond to inquiries.

Oct 15, 2019 at 7:41 pm #3614165I love the products from Ridge Merino (ridgemerino.com)–and have multiples of pretty much everything in the women’s and accessory lines. I use the Aspect mid weight long sleeve top and bottom as my base layer and top the upper with the Heist hoody in cooler weather.

Yes, when It’s cool or cold out at higher elevation a hoodie even as a base layer is a good thing.
