Merino wool warmth that hugs you back.
The No Chill Merino Base Layer Top is the kind of piece you forget you are wearing until you realize how comfortable you still are after hours in the cold. The midweight 260gsm merino fabric delivers warmth without bulk while its natural breathability and odor resistance keep it feeling fresh no matter how many days in a row you decide to wear it.
A slim fit makes it easy to slide under a shell or mid-layer and the soft stretch in the fabric moves with you from first light to last lap. Thumbholes lock sleeves in place when layering and flatlock seams prevent rubbing or irritation even on the biggest days.
Pair it with the No Chill Base Layer Bottoms for a complete cold weather kit that works just as well on big mountain days as it does during lodge lounging or long haul travel. Part of our premium Venture Far Series the No Chill top is built for adventures that demand reliable warmth and all day comfort.

I absolutely love this base layer! The merino wool is incredibly comfortable, soft against the skin, and does a fantastic job of keeping me warm without feeling bulky. It’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for layering on colder days or wearing on its own. The quality and attention to detail really stand out, and it’s quickly become a favorite in my wardrobe. You can tell a lot of thought went into making this piece. Highly recommend to anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and quality!
Love it. Comfy, warm, fits great!
Purchased this for winter trail running in Michigan. Very comfortable and warm. Great like everything else I have purchased from Ketl. I’m happy to support Ketl as they are fellow mountain bikers who love getting outside and they support various trails.
First time buying a merino wool product and couldn't be happier. Worn it a few times now and surprised at how good the material feels. I also usually have issues with shirts being too short or "hanging" off me and this fits just right. Haven't been able to really put it to the test yet but on comfort alone I'm already considering buying another one.
I’ve used this thermal for a fat biking trip in the winter and for alpine snowboarding. This is not the sweat fest I get from most thermals. They keep me warm but not so that I over heat. You can wear them on the car ride to the mountain without sweating to death. They dry fast and don’t stink.
LOVE. IT.
This shirt is ideal for riding in the chilly mornings of NC.I use this and a light overshirt or jacket in sub 40deg weather and stay comfortable throughout the ride. Soft, non-stinky, breathable while warming... I'm a big fan.
