Salewa Zebru Responsive Longsleeve

A soft women's baselayer made from merino wool that you can wear directly against your skin while alpine climbing, ski touring, speed hiking, or trekking. The long-sleeved Zebru baselayer is designed to wick moisture away during intense physical exertion in colder conditions, dry quickly, and improve temperature regulation. This makes it the ideal choice for mountain activities. Its name refers to a mountain in the Ortler Alps, Monte Zebrù. It is made in Italy, and the main component of its material is fine merino wool, which provides optimal warmth and moisture management while feeling comfortable against the skin.

In a bodymapping design, we have combined the merino wool-polyfiber blend with special responsive polyamide yarns that contain a unique mix of natural thermoreactive minerals. Responsive absorbs the body's far infrared radiation (FIR) and gradually releases it back to the muscle tissue. This enhances blood circulation, cellular performance, and oxygen supply, allowing you to stay warmer for longer, perform better, and recover faster. Good to know: the responsive technology is a permanent material component – the minerals do not wash out.

The Zebru is very soft and has a close-fitting athletic cut. Thanks to the polyamide content, it is particularly durable and retains its shape. Our advanced circular knitting process means the entire upper body is made from a single piece – for more comfort without chafing seams. Additionally, merino wool naturally prevents odor formation. A technical baselayer with merino wool for changeable conditions that keeps you warm, wicks moisture away, and improves temperature regulation.
