A mid-layer that can also function as the perfect base layer. The Lynx is lined with a unique wool mesh that traps air and improves ventilation as well as breathability and has our popular single jersey outer.

The raglan sleeves provide seamless shoulders while the flat lock stitching allows layering without bulky seams. The generous cuffs with thumb loops keep the sleeves in place and the high neck zipper allows venting when required but also traps in warmth and protects the neck area against cold or abrasive outer layers.

  • Wool mesh-lined
  • Zip neck with generous back length
  • Full zipper flap and zipper garage. No zipper exposed to bare skin.
  • Long arms with long comfortable cuffs and thumb loops
  • Seamless shoulders designed for load-carrying
  • Can be worn next-to-skin or as a mid-layer

Superb

"Super comfy. Works excellently as a base layer, base + mid, and base + mid + top if weather is dry. Too warm for high activity in temperatures that aren't sub-zero. Not as good/loses efficacy if used with a synthetic base layer, and I think also with a lightweight marino wool base layer, but I can't be sure (haven't tried with mid or heavy weight). Easily the best layer I've used. My goto for cold weather."

Ian (5/5)

Fantastic heat/moisture regulation!

"Recently used the Lynx shirt on a joint police/military deployment in alpine conditions with a temperature range of 0-15 C. It performed great, even under body armour, with excellent moisture transport and temperature regulation properties. All my doubts about its cost/value have been erased! Moreover, it’s the softest next-to-skin layer I own. I will be buying another."

Canuck S. (5/5)

Exceptional garment - all you need.

"Perfect mid-layer or outer layer - it's very, very warm. I've used it with a base layer in 30 F hikes and had to take the base layer off mid hike."

Rob C. (5/5)

"Product is well made and fit is spot on. Grunt Proof is where I first heard about this product and he was absolutely right. My new favorite mid layer. If you’re on the fence, do yourself a favor and make this purchase. Thank you Andy for the quick response and the Kojak Cap."

David (5/5)

Base layer

"Haven’t tried it yet, but heard very good things about it"

Fernando D. (5/5)

The best Merino garment I've ever worn...

"The Armadillo Merino Lynx affect is perfect. Freezing cold windy days, snow fields or just romping around in mild temperatures The Lynx performs perfectly. It's like a security blanket! Highly recommended."

Muzz (5/5)

Best ever merino base layer, look no further.

"The perfect merino top for any of the four seasons."

MR (5/5)

Favorite piece of kit

"This shirt si so expensive that ordering it was like a bet, but I had many hopes regarding this lining. In my mind it could act as a 2 pieces in 1 (1 mesh + 1 base layer). Fortunately, after paying for import taxes, I had found that it acts just like that, plus incredible comfort and a great collar. So far I have used many times at camp and even at home and it quickly became my favorite piece of kit. Finally, worth the money. The shirt you are happy, very happy to get in. And I am saying this even if I am not sure yet I get the right size for me, as I am in between S/XS with 90/91 cm chest. I clearly recommend it."

Emmnanuel D. (5/5)

"Warm, comfortable, breathes very well. Works perfectly as a mid layer, especially so when the temps fluctuate or you're going in and out frequently"

JOSHUA (5/5)

The shirt is just great,

"The shirt is just great, but I want to worn other EU clients, that I had to pay extra 120 EUR for EU custom…. Not much fun, but when I use the shirt, all the bad memories is gone:))"

Q&A

Hi Again. You got high praise from a youtuber called Grunt Proof. I want to buy your Lynx top and need to know if too tight or too loose is more efficient with this shirt. I'm in between your L and XL on your chart.
The Lynx shirt works best when worn next-to-skin so I suggest choosing your normal size so you can wear it either next to skin or as a mid-layer piece. The Lynx mesh top functions well if it is loose or tight. It is best by itself, and when you put on a layer on top of it, then the Lynx will compress against the skin, giving an effective next-to-skin insulative layer.
Hi, when will the Lynx receive a restock in XL size (light olive)?
There is one Lynx, light olive, size XL in stock if you order now.
Does the Lynx - long sleeve lined zip top have a women's cut? Also, when will all 3 colors be available again?
Hi there, the Lynx in black will be available early 2024. No there is not a womens version at this point in time. You could size down to fit the existing style.
