Montane Primino 140 Zip Neck Top

A base layer designed for active use in cold conditions. Merino wool and PrimaLoft are brought together to create the Primino 140 Zip-Neck Top.

The Primino 140 Zip-Neck Top from Montane is constructed from a blended fabric which uses Merino fibres. Merino is perfect at controlling temperature and works to regulate the body's temperature under various conditions. The wool is as naturally anti-bacterial, so it can keep you feeling fresh for longer and can be worn without washing for days and still not cause an odour. Merino wool works together with a secondary fabric, PrimaLoft to provide ultimate moisture management. Merino wool draws vapour sweat away from the body whilst PrimaLoft wicks sweat across the outer surface allowing it to dry quickly.

A half-length zip runs down the center of the chest which allows the wearer to quickly and easily adjust the amount of ventilation or coverage they receive depending on weather conditions and personal preference. In warmer climates, it can be worn down to increase airflow or in colder climates it can be worn up to seal in heat. The low-rising collar on this top helps to protect the neck area from sun damage, back pack straps and outer layers which could run and cause discomfort and chafe. Flat locking seams have been used throughout construction which allows the top to sit closely against the skin without causing chafe and discomfort which is often caused by larger, bulky seams. Lastly, articulated arms allow for high reach movements and also work to prevent hem lift.
