As we continue our revamped kit & equipment reviews, Alf tests the latest in high-tech merino wool shirts - the Hardvark J-Plaid.
PRICE: £139
WEBSITE: Hardvark Merino
WHAT THEY SAY: "Our signature Hardvark shirt is made with Tailored Performance™ Merino, so you can take on every adventure with confidence and style. Tested everywhere from the Swiss mountain backcountry to the San Francisco Bay."
WHAT ALF SAYS: If you’re looking to cut a dash on the slopes and prefer the classic mountain man look (think Joe Brown, Don Whillans and Chris Bonington circa 1958) you’ll love Hardvark’s J-Plaid merino wool shirt – I certainly did.
