merino long-sleeve 180
A 180 g/m² long-sleeve for the cool half of the year.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Full arm coverage under a pack, and the 180 g/m² knit still moves air when you open the shell at a stile.
- cyclingsuitable
- Sleeves are cut 2 cm long so they still reach the wrist with arms forward on the bars. Back hem drops 4 cm.
- commutingsuitable
- Reads as a fine-knit top under a jacket; cuffs sit flat under a watch or a shirt sleeve.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
Slightly heavier than the tee at 180 g/m², with thumb-free cuffs long enough to sit under a glove. The weight most people end up wearing from October through April in western France.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 180 g/m²
- garment weight
- 214 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Interlock knit at 180 g/m², shoulder seams flatlocked and offset
- Cuffs 2 cm over standard length for a riding reach
- Set-in sleeve rather than raglan, so a pack strap does not sit on a seam junction

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.
the same garment, in a riding position
| size | back coverage, riding | sleeve, arms forward |
|---|---|---|
| EU 46 | 67 cm | 61 cm |
| EU 48 | 69 cm | 63 cm |

| EU 52 | 73 cm | 67 cm |

Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.
