Merino has stood the test of time when it comes to high-performance insulation. It traps heat, wicks moisture, naturally resists odor, feels great against your skin, and functions well even when wet. The 260 Line expands our popular Thermo Collection, giving anglers a midweight option between the 150 and the 350. Built with 95% 18.5-micron Merino, the 260 Top makes a perfect standalone shirt for cool fishing days but also shines as a heavy baselayer. Wear it under a midlayer (like the 350 Hoody) and an insulated shell (like the RS Outpost) and you can fish comfortably through arctic conditions. The quarter zip neckline with an extended collar lets you dial in your heat retention, and a double jersey knit interior and exterior combines comfort with durability.
Quarter zip neckline with extended collar for warmth, heat regulation, and protection.
Integrated thumb loops provide maximum skin coverage and hold sleeves in place when adding or removing layers.
Articulation in armpits limits binding in underarms when layering.

"Excellent mid layer. Only had it for a few weeks and it’s been too warm to really test it out where I live, but I have tried it out on a few cool, wet mornings directly under a light rain jacket. Worked wonderfully and I was surprised by how comfortable it was when it warmed up. Typical Skwala quality. Super comfortable. Looking forward to using it extensively for late fall, winter and early spring fly fishing and hiking."
"High quality Merino, nicely woven, sharp looking, versatile workhorse of a sweater / mid layer. Love the charcoal color. It performs as expected in cool or extreme weather when layered. My only gripe is that it is too long in the torso, about 1-2 inches too long and/or could be more much more fitted at the hem. I am 6’ tall and 185 lbs with 42” chest and typically wear a size 32-34 waist pant. Sizing guide recommended a large. I’d love to have tried in a medium as the cut is probably a bit more generous than the guide implies and when compared to similar products (e. g. , my Icebreaker 260 is perfect for me in size large). The shoulders and sleeves fit well… sleeves extend to mid hand for the thumb holes and otherwise sit nicely at the wrist without slipping… but I’d expect the medium to fit as well."
"Great Mid Layer for those windy spring days floating on the Upper Missouri in Craig, MT. Provides warmth without being restrictive while casting."
"THIS IS EXCELLENT FOR THE WEATHER THAT WE HAVE IN ALASKA"
"It is a pretty much a given that I do 99% of my fishing when the weather is either old and wet or just plain cold. Consequently I am always on the lookout for gear that keeps me warm and dry. A good wool base layer is essential to me and my past experience with Skwala products prompted me to try the Thermo 200 zip and I am completely satisfied with it. The top is very warm, very comfortable, and will be regularly."
"Already wore several times in first few weeks. Super comfortable mid-weight with great stretch. Very warm under my thermo 350. Would definitely purchase again."
"The Thermo 260 Zip provides a perfect layer for those chilly days. It's relatively thin so it does not bunch up under a shell or parka. That said, the merino wool fabric traps your body heat to keep you warm. And as the day warms up, it allows you to stay cool and not overheat. The added Spandex tailors the fit and assures the shirt will maintain its shape"
"This is a great base layer that provides plenty or warmth. I am constantly amazed at the quality and thought put in to products from Skwala. Everyone should own a couple of the Thermo 260 shirts."
"Excellent! Fits well and surprisingly warm for the weight of the pullover. Super soft."
"magical little Layer! would highly recommend 🤙"
