Icebreaker  200 Oasis Half-Zip Base Layer Top - Men's

One Shirt for so Many Conditions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Icebreaker US gave me this free product to try and I enjoyed wearing it while exploring Telluride on the mountain bike during leaf peeping season. At the start of the ride at the base it was on the warmer side and the Oasis 200 did a great job of moisture management and keeping me comfortable during my nearly 90 minute climb. Cresting at around 11,200 feet it was much cooler and quite windy but the Oasis 200 kept me comfortable and warm especially at the start of the descent. The fabric dries incredibly fast, and was basically dry by the time I came off the descent, which still had some aerobic efforts in it. Like other reviewers I found the shirt to be a little on the shorter side, but for riding I appreciated the shorter length as it really layered well with my hydration pack and shorts. I’m 5’10 and around 170 lbs and the size large is perfect for me. Could have easily sized down to a medium though for a more compression fit.

Looks and Feels Great!

I love this top. It's my 3rd one. I wear them all the time. They are my go to number one shirts for the office or out. Keeps me warm in cold offices as well as outside. They retain their shape even in the washing machine and hot dryer. No itch. Only negative--got a hole at the elbow on one sleeve when I rubbed up against a metal bolt sticking out of a chair arm. Because they are wool based and not poly, they can tear more easily but they are worth the fit and feel.

Poorly Designed Fit

Sleeves too short. Chest too narrow. Belly too wide. I'm not sure who they've designed / sized this for but it definitely is not made for anyone even remotely fit or athletic. Forget it climbing, skiing or anything you might lift your arms up with. I'm 5-10 160lbs so nothing special. Taller leaner people would magnify the problems. The one redeeming quality is the fabric itself. Well made. Tight knit.

Use the sizing chart

I am 5'11" and 220 lbs. I ordered an XXL based on the men's sizing chart. I usually wear an XL. Fit is very good with some extra length in the arms and torso. I have an XL RAB Nexus Jacket and the fit is almost the same as the XXL Icebreaker Oasis Top. The Icebreaker is an inch or two longer overall which is good as I expect it will shrink a little in the wash. So I would recommend going up a size as many others have said. Quality seems good but only time will tell.

Perfect for All Seasons

Gave as gift to a runner/fly fishing outdoors man. He loved it! Warm, lightweight and not itchy!

Excellent base layer for frosty fall fly fishing

Warm and comfortable against the skin without any smell. Wore both the Oasis top and bottom, with Mid Calf Mountaineer Cushion socks under my waders while flyfishing for Atlantic salmon in the frosty Quebec fall temperatures. Love the ability to open the top with the zipper and the sleeves can be pushed up easily when needed. I did find the socks to run a bit on the larger side and would have gotten a smaller pair. Overall, I really like the product and was pleasantly surprised by my first time out with it.

Good product, but small

It is a very comfortable fabric, and so far durable over the first 3 months. It keeps warmth well, and does a great job of not developing an odor. I use it to work out in the morning, and while I don't get real sweaty, I can easily use it over a month before I even consider washing it. The one downside is the size. I'm 6'1", 190 lbs with long arms. I got a large, and the sleeve length is adequate, but is very short on the torso. Other than that, would recommend.
