Kari Traa Rose Half-Zip Top - Women's

Kari Traa makes amazing baselayers. I bought these with the matching pants and am super happy with them. I also love the fun designs !

I wore this top the entirety of my chilly camping trip last weekend. It kept me nice and warm and I also received many compliments. It works great as a baselayer but functions as a top. I can sleep in it and then wear it to go for a drink after a cold day outside. The fabric does not feel itchy against my skin! Finally, I think I could have sized down into an extra small (I am normally an XS), but the small really does fit well in my shoulders. I just like tighter fits for base layers.

I love everything about this base layer. The print is adorable and it is so comfy. It doesn't even feel like wool because of how soft it is. I wore it on a 7-mile hike where I did a lot of climbing and sweating. It did not stink or even seem like it had been worn. It may have been a little too warm to wear on a hike with so much elevation gain. I was definitely hot on the way up even though it was around 50 degrees, but on the way down, it kept me at a pleasant temperature. I'm usually an xs/s in tops and I feel like the small definitely was form fitting. I wouldn't have gone down to an xs. I love this and would definitely recommend to anyone. (4 stars because I am waiting to see how it wears over time)

Love it form fitting. Comfortable. Warm but not crazy warm

This top is fitted and looks terrific on, what a fun pattern. This is not “vanity” sized so I ordered a medium and it fit perfect (I usually wear a small in Athleta tops). I have skied twice wearing just this and my ski coat and have been completely warm. I’m considering getting another color!

I've always struggled to keep warm while skiing. This piece is so perfect for me! Its soft and SUPER warm, 4-way stretch, and I can wear it multiple times without washing - great for ski trips. I don't just wear it for skiing either. Sometimes I'll throw it on with a pair of tights and a vest; super cute.

I bought this for my sweetheart, along with the pants, and she basically lives in them now. This is her feedback:
-It's wool, but it's not itchy! Don't let that fool you.
-The side panels are slimming
-They're great for lounging or exercising

This is one of my go-to tops in the winter. The merino is super soft and does not itch up against the skin. It also keeps out any odors for a few wears. I've once worn mine 5 times in the backcountry and it did not smell whatsoever!

It fits a little small - I'm 5'3 120 pounds and usually wear a small, but I like to bump up into a medium in this top. The small fits perfectly, but I prefer a little moving room in my tops, which is why I go for the medium.

My wife loves this base layer! This is her go to base layer for skiing on those cold days. She really notices a difference from the merino wool was great at regulating body temperature. After she is off the slopes you will find her lounging in it for the rest of the day. Not scratchy at all this is a next to skin garment.

My wife wore the Kari Traa Rose half-zip top everyday on our last ski trip. The merino wool is a perfect wicking baselayer. It also resists smell and remained fresh even on day 6.

It's slim fitting and washes well.

The one downside, like with a lot of Merino Wool, is durability. She accidentally poked a small hole. But she would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Kari has the best designs, hands down. The fit is smaller. I'm a small in a lot of active brands, but a medium in Kari Traa.



These are nice and warm. I love it! I took off one star, because I have other merino products that are softer that this top.
