Smartwool Review

The Men's Howelsen Half Zip is a new 100% merino sweater from Smartwool. The sweater features the natural moisture wicking and temperature control properties that are found in all merino wool. It's also very comfortable, and most importantly very versatile. The Howelsen half zip can be worn for outdoor activities and around the office.

Smartwool Men's Howelsen Half Zip

On a recent trip to the family cabin in Alaska, I tested out a number SmartWool socks and a SmartWool Microlight Base Layer. The weather on the Alaskan Peninsula varies by the minute and the humidity runs around 80%. Nothing dries quickly unless you have a good wind or put it by the heating stove. It's a great spot to put performance fabrics to test.
