Merino wool not scratchy at all, very soft
Soft and warm, with plenty stretch for close fit. I like the longer sleeves, easier to pull your long-sleeve jersey or jacket over it. Forget you are wearing a base layer. Washes well, place in delicates zip bag and throw in normal cycle cold water in the washing machine. I have this in different colors. Worn for over two years and know it will last.

Comfortable and breathable
Extremely comfortable and breathable. Beware that size is not compatible with the Soupleese base layer. I wear size M for soupleese which fits me marvellously, but the same size M of this Merino baselayer is too large.
I bought a smaller size S of Merino for cycling, which is great, and use this size M for daily wear.

So comfortable!
Amazingly comfortable merino. It's so soft and feels silky. I do wish that it was a touch less sheer. Already my favorite base layer for cycling and everyday.

Great base layer
Great base layer. Love 100% merino. Have it in size medium, got it in size small, which is even better as a base layer.

Base layer that’s light and keeps you warm/dry
Nice base layer that’s perfect for spring/fall seasons. Feels great against the skin and keeps you warm. Wicks sweat effectively and keeps you dry. On a cooler day, wearing a neck warmer would be beneficial as the neckline of the base layer is a bit deep. Overall, a great base layer!

Great for skiing too.
This is my 3rd Rapha merino base layer. Great lightweight base layer for cooler temps. I have to be honest though, I wear these more for under scrubs for work and as a ski base layer than a cycling base layer - and they are brilliant for both jobs.

The coziest merino base layer you will ever buy
This is the base layer to wear under your Winter Jacket. You need nothing else. It is so cozy. The wool is so soft and feels lovely against your skin. Love the length of it on the body and the sleeves. Truly the best merino base layer on the market.
