Smartwool Intraknit Merino 200 Crew 2019-2020 Women’s Snowboard Base Layer Review

  • SIZES: XS, S, M, L, XL
  • Price: £110/piece

Why we chose the Smartwool Intraknit Snowboard Base Layer: Comfortable smell repeller.

A good base layer is like a seat on the tube, once you’ve managed to get one you hold onto it with fervour. There’s also a lot of factors to choosing the right one for your needs. If you’re looking for a first layer that’ll tick all your boxes, Smartwool has taken the whole base-layer game to the next level – their intraknit technology is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

“Smartwool’s produced a base-layer that isn’t just comfortable, but also has a ventilation and insulation system to prevent your sweat leaving that unpleasant odour in the very core of the layer”

Smartwool’s produced a base-layer that isn’t just comfortable, but also has a ventilation and insulation system to prevent your sweat leaving that unpleasant odour in the very core of the layer. How you may ask? Well, Smartwool have come up with a cutting edge 3D-knitting technique.

Not only does the intraknit technique leave you smelling like roses, but it also allows your body to move more freely and efficiently – making it easier to perform in whatever weather you’ll be facing.

This marvellous bit of kit is made to fit both females and males. Depending on your gender (the base layers are gender specific as our bodies work differently) , ventilations and insulations are placed in specific zones – maximising the thermoregulation.

“The merino wool is there to keep you warm while the polyester allows the base-layer to dry faster and also makes it more durable”

These base-layers are made out of 56% merino wool and 44% polyester. The merino wool is there to regulate temperature while the polyester allows the base-layer to dry faster and also makes it more durable.

Not only are these base-layers comfy, warm and “airconditioned”, but the knitting technique used in their production also results in significantly less waste compared to a normal cut-and-sew method – hence the name SMARTwool?

The Intraknit base-layers comes in three different colours for both men and women, with the women’s size range extending from XS to XL and the men’s from S to XXL.

These are exclusive to Ellis Brigham in the UK, so head down there, or have a look online if you fancy getting your hands on this snazzy product.
