Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score

Montane's UK and EU pages give 175 g with no size (its US page gives the same weight in ounces, about 176 g, in the same band). 175 g is in the 160–199 g band, which is the 4 band. Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 170 g for size M, a shop figure in the same band; we band Montane's 175 g.

In short
Good for
- Cool-weather hillwalking, trekking and mountaineering as a next-to-skin merino layer
- Multi-day trips and wild camps where one top is worn for several days
- Sleeping in a soft merino top on cold nights
Strengths
- 84% RWS certified merino, with the rest recycled polyester and elastane
- Core-spun yarn with a nylon core, which Montane says adds strength at low weight
- 175 g, in the 160–199 g band
- Low-profile merrow-stitch seams, per Montane
- Covered by Montane's lifetime guarantee against faults in workmanship and materials
Weaknesses
- Not pure merino: 84% merino with 11% recycled polyester and 5% elastane
- The yarn has a nylon core as well as 11% recycled polyester, so it is not all wool
- One early customer review mentions slight fraying at the cuffs
