Arc'teryx Emissary Raglan Long-Sleeve - Men's
| where to buy? | |||||||
| Description from backcountry: | |||||||
| An Emissary Raglan Long-Sleeve from Arc'teryx has traveled to New
Zealand for its superfine Merino wool. The ability of this soft yarn to
stay warm when it is cool outside and cool when it heats up gives the
Emissary its amazing latitude. Sheep have been wearing it for years and
they live outside! Naturally itch free and microbial resistant Merino
wool is meant to secretly replace cotton in active clothing. Subtle
color shifts and stand-alone styling lend the Emissary assistance when
infiltrating your wardrobe. Bottom Line: The Emissary has gone to the ends of the earth for your comfort.
Reviews (1): This is a great combination: 1) Arc'teryx seems to be THE gear manufacturer to beat; 2) Synthetics simply can't stand up to Mother Nature's highly evolved Merino wonder. The result of this happy marriage is an incredible technical base layer that performs like nothing else. Superior wicking, temperature management (you have to try it to believe it), comfort, and naturally antimicrobial properties (it doesn't stink like synthetics) all come together to create, in my humble opinion, the perfect garment. This shirt feels light and seems best suited to insulation duty, as minimal stitching and a raglan cut lend to comfort beneath layers and/or a pack rather than rugged use as outerwear. Arc'teryx and Merino seem to be identical in this regard: Once you try them, there's no going back!
