In this episode of Staff Picks, gear editor Ariella Gintzler walks us through Wild Rye Mauna Kea base layers. Made of breathable, wicking, superfine merino wool, this top-and-bottom set ($208) has the technical chops for long days in alpine environments. But it’s the relaxed (though not baggy) fit, soft hand, and understated pattern that have earned it a top spot in our editor’s drawer.
