Women's Thermocore mid-layer shirt

Do-it-all base layer shirt with sustainable manufacturing origins

By Kenny Stocker

Peter Macfarlane endorses the Alpkit Woodsmoke mid-layer for its style, sustainability, and excellent fabric qualities.

Peter Macfarlane regards the Alpkit Woodsmoke mid-layer shirt as a highly versatile and sustainable top, deserving of his 'Best Buy' accolade.

This is a genuinely do it all top with sustainable manufacturing origins.

He appreciates its light, stretchy Thermocore fabric which not only feels soft against the skin but is also adept at trapping air for insulation despite its thin nature. Macfarlane values the shirt's moisture-wicking capabilities and its quick-drying feature, especially after being worn under a pack. The Polygiene treatment is highlighted for its effectiveness in combating odours over extended wear, making it a long-lasting companion before needing a wash.

Further, its neat fit, comfort, and flexibility are among its standout attributes, and the shirt's design elements, like its collar and poppered front closure, elevate its overall functionality.

Find out why Peter awarded the Woodsmoke baselayer shirt as a TGO Best Buy.
