Mountain Equipment Nava SS Zip T

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Mountain Equipment’s Nava ss Zip T 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 Zip-T for running through the longest and hottest mountain days. This lightweight and highly wicking short sleeve Zip-T is the perfect choice for epic summer days that start at dawn in a bid to outrun the incoming afternoon storm. HeiQ technology resists odour on multi-day trips and a deep centre front zip adds extra ventilation.

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. 

I’m a big fan of a zip on a base layer, as it allows heat to quickly be displaced.
