Reviews

Wirklich toll.

"Das Merino-Shirt ist wirklich super, der Kragen schließen angenehm hoch und ist nicht zu eng. Das Tragegefühl ist wirklich sehr gut, die Merinowolle sorgt für ein passendes Klima und leitet Schweiß und Feuchtigkeit gut ab. Mit der passenden Hose zusammen die perfekte Kombination für Ansitz und Pirsch."

— Jan O. (5/5)

stayed comfortable.

"The shirt worked great on a recent pheasant hunt in North Dakota with temperatures in the low 30’s and 15-20 mph winds. I wore the shirt as a mid layer with a Kuiu ULTRA Merino 120 LT SS Crew T-shirt as the base layer. I covered both layers with a cotton upland shirt and sweatshirt for early mornings. I peeled the sweatshirt off around 10:30 am when temps reached the low-mid 40’s. The temperature reached mid 50’s in the afternoon. I was comfortable all day. I was very impressed with the ability to keep me warm when it was cool and keep me cool when it was warm."

— Ron N. (5/5)

Perfection.

"I have been hunting with ULTRA Merino 145 shirts and Zip-T for 3 years now. It has become the only mid layer I will use. I also use it as a top layer for 60-75 degree weather. I am blessed to wear it as one of the changes allowing me to only need to pack 2-3 other changes. It is easy to wash by hand an dries quickly. I currently have two weeks worth of color variations to wear. As long as they don’t change it for the worse I will keep on using this product."

— Shawn S. (5/5)

The best one.

"Perfect sensations , perfect value for money. I live in France and I’d rather pay €20 for shipping. We have some great stuff in Europe too, but certainly not at this price point. If you want rugged merino—plus great camo and ventilation—there’s nothing better."

— Florian E. (5/5)

Meh.

"This is the first time out of many purchases I've I wasn't real happy. This shirt is thin and is made of a stretchy material that isn't flattering in my opinion it fit a little on the smaller side. I will say ot is well made structure wise andthe color is true to the ad. Everything else I've bought from them has been excellent. But this one only gets 3 stars."

— William T. (3/5)

145 Merino zip Long sleeve T-shirt

"Lovely bit of kit. Although does run a little large. I’m tall with a thinner build and if I was to order again I’d probably choose large instead, but I’m not lost in the XL. Larger builds would probably be true to size. Keeps me cool and warm in varying temps. Would definitely recommend."

— Steven R. (5/5)

The perfect October deer hunting shirt

"I wore this this shirt 8 out of 12 days deer hunting. Most days started with a wind stopper shell over it. When it got hot in the afternoon, I would switch to Gila sun hoody. Temperatures ranged from lows in the 30's to highs to 85"

— Russi J. (5/5)

Comfortable, Lightweight, and Quick Drying

"I've really enjoyed this shirt so far. I've worn it quite a few times as a standalone layer in temperatures ranging from 55–75 degrees and have been comfortable throughout. The material dries quickly, breathes well, and doesn't restrict movement at all. I'm excited to see how it performs as a base layer once the colder months roll around."

— Timothy H. (5/5)

Comfortable

"Incredibly light and comfortable to wear, even though i am allergic to wool. I have not tested it in the cold field so i cant say how well it insulates or pulls moisture."

— Doug R. (5/5)

Fantastic base layer for colder

"Fantastic base layer for colder days. Holds heat extremely well but it’s never sweaty when I take it off. ordered a large and honestly wish i would’ve gotten a medium so it fit a little tighter but that’s on me."

— Reid L. (5/5)

Q&A

The colour looks different than the other Valo products, it looks more brown. Is this just the studio lighting or is this different?
The colors can vary slightly based on the material of the product, but they will look pretty similar in person
