As with the first two bits of clothing I've been incredibly impressed with the quality and practicality of the kit, as well as the fantastic look - it's just as comfortable on a day out as it is in the mountains or on a run. Sadly I won't be putting up pictures of me in today's clothing, the boxers didn't seem appropriate in a picture, sorry ladies!
Zephyr Merino Vest
Similar to the Eddy Long Sleeve Base Layer the Zephyr vest is a comfortable, good looking merino wool, and comes in a range of great colours - mine is the red above. This is perfect for a base layer under both long and short sleeve over layers but also as a layer on its own; I've found it comfortable to run in, and it doesn't get too sweaty or smelly which is always a bonus! This would be great for under a football shirt or rugby top when it's just a bit too cold, being fairly tight means it wouldn't get in the way too much either. When a long sleeve base layer is just a bit too much this is the perfect answer.
Zephyr Boxer Shorts
To match your Zephyr vest you have the boxer shorts shown above, also the lovely merino wool making them extremely comfortable. These come in a range of really cool colours and are the tight style; good when you don't want anything moving around on a run or climbing a crag somewhere! I've ran with these under my running shorts and found them just as comfortable and non-irritating as the lycra shorts I normally wear for running.
Merino Wool Beanie
There's very little you can say about a beanie really; as with the vest and base layer the hat is made from the beautiful merino wool and is as comfortable as you'd expect. The beanie is nice a compact, fairly small and would fit under a climbing helmet or jacket hoods comfortably, adding a bit of warmth on those chilly mountain days. These beanies will perfectly round off the Finisterre outfit for those who like the uniform look!
I couldn't fault any of the gear Finisterre have sent me and would highly recommend all of it. The merino kit has to be washed at a cooler temperature and not tumble dried but if you can remember to do it you're fine! Beautiful kit at good prices, highly recommended!

The waterproofs look pretty good too:
