Product Review: Sugoi Wallaroo LS Shirt

We're in the midst of a bit of a heat wave at the time of this posting (well, if you can call 12C hot) but the sub-zero temps are sure to arrive again soon and there's nothing better to keep the chill away from your skin then a full sleeve merino wool shirt like the one above from Sugoi.

The Wallaroo fabric feels absolutely amazing against the skin, and does a great job of wicking away sweat as you heat up during your cold-weather activity. At the same time it provides excellent insulation to keep your body heat close to your core. Maybe best of all despite the fine fabric the shirt holds up really well to repeated washings (but for heaven's sake don't put it in the drier unless you'd like to give it to your dog).


We'd be completely lost without one of two of these shirts, or similar product that we carry from Craft, in our winter wardrobe. If you don't have one yet you owe it to yourself to check them out, and we happen to have pretty good stock in right now so feel free to stop by for a visit. See you soon!
