Burton Men's Merino Blend Midweight Base Layer Crew 2027 | True Black

Merino Warmth, Black on Black

The Burton Men's Merino Blend Midweight Base Layer Crew 2027 in True Black is the warmest base layer in Burton's range, built on a merino and TENCEL blend for natural warmth that breathes. It's for riders who want one dependable top for cold days and long trips.

The fabric is a 245 GSM merino interlock blending 57.6% merino wool with 38.4% TENCEL Lyocell and 4% spandex. You get the natural temperature regulation, breathability and odour resistance of merino, with TENCEL adding softness and stretch. It's a slim, four-way stretch cut with Softlock seams and thumbholes, shown here in True Black.

Best for: cold mornings and storm days, multi-day trips and Japan, and riders who want natural fibre warmth and odour resistance.

Built for Australian Conditions

This is the layer for cold mornings, storm days and long trips. On a bitter first chair at Hotham or a windy day on the Main Range it gives you natural warmth close to the skin, and the merino helps manage temperature when you warm up through the day. Because merino resists odour, it's a strong pick for a week in Japan or a multi-day trip where you'd rather pack fewer layers. On warm spring afternoons in Victoria and NSW it can run hot under a full jacket, so wear it with a shell and venting, or save it for the colder end of the season.

Not for you if: you run hot or mostly ride warm spring days and want something thinner and faster drying. Browse our men's thermals and use the filters to find a lighter synthetic weight.

FAQs

How does the Burton Men's Merino Blend Midweight Base Layer Crew fit?
It's a slim fit with four-way stretch, designed to sit close to the skin so the merino can do its job. Most riders take their usual Burton size. Call us on 03 9421 2293 or come into our Richmond showroom if you want to check the fit.

Is merino itchy?
This is a blend rather than pure wool. The TENCEL Lyocell adds a soft, smooth feel and the spandex adds stretch, so most riders find it comfortable straight against the skin. If you're very sensitive to wool, try it on in store first.

Why choose merino over synthetic?
Merino regulates temperature naturally, breathes well and resists odour, so you can wear it for several days on a trip. Burton also notes merino blend is warmer than similar-weight synthetics. Synthetic layers dry faster and tend to be tougher for everyday abuse.

How warm is it?
Burton gives it a warmth rating of 1.45 out of 5 on its base layer scale, which puts it in the midweight band. It's built for cold days and is best paired with a shell or midlayer when temperatures really drop.

Is it durable?
Burton builds it with a merino base and a highly durable synthetic exterior, plus double-needle stitching on the sleeves and hem, and backs it with a Lifetime Warranty.
