I travel extensively and only carry one bag, so merino has been my favourite choice for wearing. While I have multiples of this t-shirt, they are prematurely failing. I care for my clothing carefully, but nothing has stopped these shorts from developing random holes.
I got this and two other merino t-shirts for stink free travel. This one was the only one that was 100% merino, and in retrospect, a mistake. I've had it for two months, wore it 4 - 5 times, washed it 3 times. I have three problems with this t-shirt that I have not encountered with the other ones that had some poly mixed in: 1. this doesn't keep its shape very well - looks more like a night gown than a t-shirt. 2. when it gets wet, it smells like wet sheep; the smell did not go away on subsequent washings 3. it already developed a couple of pinhole tears with light use - no hiking, just traveling. The holes are in front, not in high friction areas. Lesson learned: a modest amount of polyester (10-20%) goes a long way to make a more resistant, better looking tee.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is my fourth color. These shirts are great for travel days at the airport and to use anytime on evenings and weekends around the house or running errands. Temperature regulation is awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Or the shirt to the eclipse the other day on top of a mountain in Arkansas and it was great. Super comfy and breathable!
Was wearing it for two days carefully but afterward a hole appeared on the t-shirt, the product is not quite durable.
I think merino wool is the best thing ever. Wish I had discovered it earlier. I’ve worn this shirt in both warm and hot temperatures. I have to say that Icebreaker merino has kept me dry and warm. I can wear this a number of times without it starting to smell as well. Wool feels better to me than synthetic base T-shirt’s. Overall this is my favorite shirt I own. Looking forward to getting more in the future
This shirt could be the worst product that Icebreaker makes! I purchased two of these as part of my corporate work wear. The cut is simply uncomfortable at the best of times. The arms feel like they are in the wrong spot. The collar looks shabby after being washed, and dried correctly with manufacturers specs. I had a 2XL previously, and I purchased 2 3XL's thinking they would give me a little more room. They did, but in the wrong spots. This is not a shirt I would purchase again. I love all my other Icebreaker Merino Wool shirts.
If you want a super light weight shirt where your nipples and chest hairs poke through this will be your jam. I have 15 year old Ice Breaker base layers that have held up better than these shirts after 2 months. I bought 3 of these hoping to come closer to my lifelong goal of maximum merino wool in my wardrobe. I've been wearing and caring for Merino wool for 20 years. These wore holes after the first wash. 150 is too light for a daily wear T-shirt. Please make a heavier weight version of this. I'll pay more. Pretty please :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 short-sleeved T's and 2 long-sleeved T's. Except for one dress shirt, they are the only shirts I pack for traveling. The reviews you've read are true. They easily can go 3 days without a wash and still look, smell and feel great. If they do need a hand wash in a hotel sink - or wherever - they easily dry overnight. They also roll-up tightly, so they are space-saving in my carry-on. If you are going to hot climates I recommend the darker color which won't show sweat as easily as the lighter ones. #TravelOn!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought these in men's & women's for a 3 week trekking adventure. These shirts are awesome. You can easily rinse to freshen up when you have access to running water, they dry quickly and don't hold any funky smell, perfect for travel. We took 2 for each of us, so that one could be rinsed/dried and the other worn. Excellent purchase & worth the price. Weight is heavy enough to wear like a regular T (vs undershirt) but light enough to keep you cool on warm days & dry quickly when washed. Highly recommend.
