I love wearing merino wool for my workouts, whatever the weather.

I have several of Athleta’s Foresthill tops, and as the weather warms, I’m looking to add their tank version to my growing collection.

These tops are made from a light and stretchy merino wool blend that wicks away moisture and doesn’t get too stinky. The mesh back allows air through to cool you off during any hike, run, or even errands on a warm day. Best of all, it comes in a rainbow of colors so you can find your perfect one (or two).

The Foresthill Ascent Tank is $23.99–$59.00 depending on the color. It’s available in sizes XXS–XL and 11 colors (some colors lucky sizes only).

This tank doesn’t come in plus sizes, unfortunately, but the Foresthill Ascent Turtleneck goes up to 2X.
