Product Description

At-a-glance: Seamless 220gsm Merino-blend top built for alpine layering and sustained cold-weather activity.

Best for: Skiing, mountaineering and winter days when a warmer, low-friction first layer matters.

Named after the Perthshire Munro, the Schiehallion collection is built for dependable performance in serious conditions.

FAQs

How does it compare to the 100% Merino baselayer?
The Schiehallion is heavier at 220gsm and uses a seamless construction—better suited to alpine and ski use where friction beneath technical layers matters.
Is it warm enough for skiing?
Yes—rated for -5°C to -10°C, it is designed specifically for cold alpine conditions.
Does seamless mean no seams at all?
The seamless knit eliminates the main body seams that cause pressure points under ski clothing and harnesses.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash at 30°C and dry flat to maintain the seamless structure and Merino softness.

A good base layer. Recommend base two high output fell runs of 20 and 16 miles. High output In cold and then damp conditions. The top performed well being wet but still a good level of warmth. Never felt drenched or heavy. Very light a d form fitting. Too early to tell on durability but washed twice and no shrinkage. Love the arm fitting. Collar could be a little higher as shoulder straps from running vests sit near the neck. Another good product.

Thanks for the detailed feedback — really appreciated.

Great to hear it performed well on high-output fell runs in cold, damp conditions, and that it stayed warm without feeling heavy when wet. That’s exactly what we design our Merino base layers to do.

Helpful note on the collar height with running vests too — feedback like this genuinely helps guide future refinements & will be shared for the next production. Thanks again for putting it through proper miles.
