tasc Performance  Elevation Merino T-Shirt - Men's

This shirt is a disappointment on multiple fronts: 1—After just a few washings, the fabric is pilling – I’ve purchased quite a few performance shirts from REI, and this is the first to pill ---- 2—The shirt has some type of bizarre dye disintegration problem ---- I keep finding small black steaks emerging on the shirt that look like ink pen marks---- It appears that the dye is unstable ---- 3—The shirt does not breathe well, and thus feels feel much warmer than other light-weight performance shirts I have purchased from REI ---- The above problems are especially disappointing because I have washed the shirt in cold water and line dry it.

So glad to get a chance to purchase my favorite top at a big discount. I normally wear a medium, but I get these in large and wear over a merino tee for a sweater-like fit. Incredible warmth to weight ratio, they pack down to nothing and I can wear them for multiple days if necessary, they never seem to get smelly. There is a magic in the bamboo/merino mix that somehow magnifies the best properties of both materials. As for longevity, my original piece is at least 3 years old and still holding up fine after many, many wash and wear cycles. I wash it cold and hang to dry, like everything else I own. No issues there.

This is a good product but ideally it should be longer in the back. It leaves the lower back exposed too easily, which is annoying because the product is otherwise great. I used the measurement key on the website: when in doubt, consider buying larger size than the key tells you to.

held some odor after first use (wore all day indoors and on a brief run). probably worth getting a higher quality wool layer if you are looking for odor resistance

I work a few days a week outdoors at a golf course. I use this shirt as a base layer with 3 sometimes 4 layers over it and peel as I get warm. The shirt is comfortable, not itchy, holds it shape and I really like the thumb holes.

Shirt is well made, but a low percentage of merino. Merino doesn't stink, polyester does, so... My bad, I should have read the description more carefully.

I absolutely LOVE these base layer shirts from tasc. I simply do not understand some of the bad reviews I’m reading. They are soft and definitely keep me warm on a cold day. Of course they are a base layer. So you have to layer up. But I love how they feel on my skin and they will definitely keep you warm. Love them.

Only washed a few times and worn a half-dozen times, but starting to get frayed, pilled, and shabby around the collar. Fabric's a bit thin and not as warm as my other shirts. Reasonable at a very steep discount, but I wouldn't pay full price for one again and would recommend a good used Smartwool shirt over this one.

I give it three stars because it fits proper. For a thin fabric it is a little on the rough side specially if you wear it as a base layer.

I keep trying base layers. Wool, synthetic, hoodie, zip. Turns out that I have a bit of that donttouchmyskinwithstuffIreallydontlike. Zippers gone. Hoodie to restrictive. Synthetic doesn't quite wic good enough. The tasc shirts are perfect. Very good feel and I don't notice the tags even.
