Front: Shirt tucked into pants, as we also do this in the cold. There are many colors to choose from, seen here in Olive. This matches best with the equipment we wear over it.

Back: Underwear must fit snugly. Forgive us for not having a 90-60-90 model on hand. The shirt, not tucked in, has a very good length. Definitely not too short, it covers the hip region. Round neck and short sleeves give it a classic look.

At the bottom back, the label of the shirt is hidden. The processed Merino wool from Armadillo Merino is full of surprises and features. It does not itch and feels very soft.
