Mountain Equipment Nava Crew

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Mountain Equipment’s Nava crew is a Synthetic technical base layer that offers a highly breathable and warm layer that is also odour resistant. 

Mountain Equipment says:

A light and fast drying short sleeve crew for year round mountain running and hiking. This lightweight and highly wicking short sleeve crew moves moisture fast whether worn alone for running in the mountains or simply as a performance base layer. HeiQ technology resists odour whilst flatlocked seams sit comfortably under pack straps.

Our Verdict

The use of Synthetic materials as opposed to the traditional Merino wool is a move towards a greener more sustainable product. The Nava LS Zip T is made from 87% Recycled bluesign® approved Polyester. It is highly breathable and feels great next to bare skin.

Another great feature that is a massive help to anyone who has ever had to wear base layers for a prolonged period of time, HeiQ Fresh odour neutralising technology, which allows you to wear this for several days without having to put up with the normal smells associated with base layers.
