Gramicci Polar Scoopneck Tee : So Much Better than Cotton

My new favorite shirt--Gramicci's Polar Scoopneck Tee---has a flattering scoop neckline, an easy fit, and long sleeves that are actually long enough.

Made out of soft, drape-y merino wool fabric that feels like cotton and hangs like silk, this all-purpose shirt is ideal for outdoor activities. It has exceptional wicking and breathing properties, which come in handy during the last half of my power walks and hikes when I'm walking back home against the wind. Nothing beats a dry base layer at that point.

I love the fit of this shirt because it's actually long enough through the torso that my stomach doesn't show when I wear it with low-cut pants. Thanks to Gramicci for designing women's clothing that actually fits adults.

This top is ideal paired with a shell for cool days. On colder days, I just add fleece vest.

Available in: black, carbon, espresso brown, and dark shadow. For a similar product in men's sizes, check out the Altered Sate Crew Neck ($76).

Bottom Line: Stylish, functional, and smell-resistant, I can wear this top for days before washing. Stay cool, stay warm, pack light. --E. D. (Nov '06)
