[url= http://www.finisterreuk.com/technicalsurfapparel/mens/evolution-p115-c41.html ]Finisterre[/url] do some nice t-shirts in merino, £15 cheaper than the vail too. I've got a couple and worn em biking and they work a treat, no pongs afterwards and they look good too.

Not much matches my Vail. Best baselayer IME, however I recently saw the Finisterre merino tee's and was impressed. Cheaper too. If I was looking for a baselayer I'd certainly go for one of those two.

good tips.. shame there's no medium Finisterre tops in stock 🙁

I love my Vail - will probably get a couple more. Worth the price IMO as they last for years - way more than twice as long as a smelly helly or the like.

Loads of people do merino tees - Icebreaker, Smartwool etc. Sure the Howies is good but no better than the others. I've got a Finisterre one which is good too.
