Howies NBL L/S Base Layer
BikeRadar verdict
"Worth every penny if you can afford that much for a long-sleeve"
A great, soft and cosy base layer, made of 100% merino wool.
Extremely light and breathable, it wicked fantastically and never left that clammy damp feeling. Merino wool is a low-odour material, and even a six-hour ride left this top odour-free. The crew neck is high which keeps your skin from touching your outer layer - welcome when it's colder. It's a very snug fit and contours the body really well. The sleeves are also fitted and the double-fold cuffs block unwanted drafts. So comfy and fitted is this top that you could also use it casually as a sporty complement to a pair of jeans. Men and women's versions.

User review of Howies NBL L/S Base Layer
Bought my NBL in November 07 and have used it extensively. No criticism at all and far superior to its man made equivalents. Great fit too and when complemented by the NBL light and a decent jacket, has kept me warm in cold, windy conditions. Recommended.
