The Kari Traa Rachel Women's Half Zip blends merino wool with Tencel and a touch of stretch for a soft, thermoregulating base layer. The natural fibers manage moisture and resist odor while the half-zip collar lets you vent on the climb. It is the comfortable, do-anything layer that keeps you regulated from the skin track to the chairlift.

Why we like it:

The merino and Tencel blend is the standout; it gives the warmth and odor resistance of wool with the silky softness and moisture management of Tencel. A half-zip collar makes dialing your temperature effortless.

Features and Functions:

The Rachel Half Zip is made from a blend of traceable, non-mulesing merino wool with Tencel and elastane for softness, stretch, and moisture management. The merino regulates temperature and resists odor naturally, while a half-zip collar adds quick venting and strategic mesh mapping improves breathability.

Fit and Sizing:

A close, next-to-skin fit layers cleanly under a midlayer or shell. True to size, with a bit of stretch for easy movement.

Bottom Line:

As a soft, regulating base layer for skiing and cold-weather activity, the Rachel Half Zip is best at moisture-managing comfort under your layers. A versatile merino-blend top for active winter days.
