Icebreaker says:

A heavyweight women’s baselayer zip shirt with optimized fabric zones for active performance, the 260 Zone Long Sleeve Half Zip is a technical top for highly active days in cold conditions. The Zone features our BodyfitZONE™ construction, which combines stretchy merino wool jersey fabric with strategic panels lightweight eyelet merino mesh to improve ventilation and help control temperature during high-output pursuits. A deep front zip quickly vents excess heat, and in the higher-wear areas we added merino and polyester waffle jersey for added abrasion resistance. Raglan sleeves and flatlock seams throughout make for chafe-free mobility during fast-paced days.

Icebreaker's Women's 260 Zone LS Half Zip is a great winter base layer providing next to the skin warmth and breathability for chilly days on the hill. The 260 range is the warmest and thickest of the baselayers from Icebreaker.

The zoned construction provides greater breathability under the arms and on the back when working hard. The flip side of this more open weave is it will let cold air through more easily. Make sure you chuck on a wind proof if you stop moving. The zip provides further thermo regulation.

The merino wool with its natural odour resistance makes it a good choice for multi day use. The top is a slim and athletic fit. The flat lock seams are a useful feature to reduce chafing when on the move.
