Before the Après, There's the Avant....  The slim fitting Team Avant Merino Wool Base Layer preps you for slopeside shredding, as well as for chilly chairlift rides up.  Knit from fine merino wool with a touch of stretch, the sweater cozies your core with a fashionable, sporty design. The hood tucks comfortably under your helmet, keeping your head and ears toasty, while the ribbed turtleneck pulls up high for face coverage. The Team Avant will carry you through from the first chair to the Team Après. This base layer is also a terrific choice for any winter outdoor sport. 90% merino wool/ 10% PBT Hand wash with cold water and lay flat to dry. Dry cleaning is acceptable, but not recommended.
