Salewa Zebru Responsive Zip Longsleeve

Moisture-wicking, warm, and comfortable on the skin.

Baselayers are the foundation of your clothing system and can be crucial in the mountains when the wind howls and temperatures drop. The Zebru Half Zip Long Sleeve Shirt is named after Monte Zebrù, a mountain in the Ortler Alps bordering South Tyrol. It is made in Italy, and the main component of its material is super-fine, warm merino wool (64%), which ensures optimal moisture management and temperature regulation while feeling pleasant against the skin. Additionally, merino wool naturally resists odor formation.

We combine the merino wool-polyester blend in a body-mapping design 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. The result: improved circulation, enhanced cellular performance, and better oxygen supply. This means you stay warmer for longer, perform better, and recover faster. Good to know: the responsive technology is a permanent component of the material – the minerals do not wash out.

The Zebru is super soft and features a close-fitting, athletic cut. Thanks to the polyamide content, it is particularly durable and retains its shape. Our advanced circular knitting process creates the entire upper body from a single piece – providing more comfort without chafing seams. Through the half-length zipper, you can trap heat or quickly release it when needed. Made in Italy.

The high-performance baselayer with merino wool, perfect for multi-day tours and intense activities in changing conditions.
