[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Icebreaker products are just very good. I have baselayers I bought years ago that held up really well and are warm and so light and thin and efficient. Plus I love the new and more interesting colors than the older always black base layers. Anyway this is a very good product and I don't give complements easily it just isn't cheap. But you get what you pay for, right? So yes I would buy them again, except these will last a really long time and keep me nice and warm. My only suggestion is they could add a touch more stretch to the wonderful merino wool fabric. 5% more spandex would be great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the versatility of the half zip and the weight of this thermal top. I wear it on runs, hikes, and even bikes around town. It looks nice enough for daily wear and it is functional enough for active pursuits -- so it's great if I have something social post activity. The colour is so pretty too! After initial wash, it felt snug but then loosened up. Very happy with this purcahse!
Functions well, as expected from merino wool. Thin, but a great base layer or worn alone in all temps. I use it for high intensity xc skiing and hiking. Beautiful, vibrant color. (Hard to find vibrant wool colors.) Gave it 4 imstead of 5 stars because it isn't soft enough to sleep in when camping. Nothing beats my Smartwool for that perfect comfort
I bought this several months ago and have gotten a lot of use out of it this winter. I ordered the bottoms as well. This was my first experience with Icebreaker products and I am impressed! High quality, comfortable, and fits true to size. It made an excellent base layer on cold days!
Warning you not to buy it. Wore it three times, washed it once in cold water and hung it to dry. It immediately got a hole in the right shoulder. Yes, it is lightweight merino, but it shouldn't be tissue thin and developing holes after the first wash.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My black version of this half-zip has been a staple for everyday, travel, golf, etc. I was excited to see it in this beautiful Carolina blue shade and find that it fits as perfectly as my original one! Can't beat this pullover for layering versatility!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so impressed by this piece. It is super thin, light & packable but was so warm. I worn it hiking in 45 degree weather with 30 mph wind gusts and I was completely warm & comfortable with just this & a tee under. I would highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 200 long sleeve half zip that I wear often in cooler weather so feel that this will likely be a staple as well during Autumn/Winter. Love the versatility of the half zip and merino wool feels great next to skin.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totally really enjoy wearing ICEBREAKER! I have been wearing the product since I went to New Zealand - about 17 or 18 years ago! When I was there brought back ICEBREAKER to give to my family and friends! Great Products!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So good, that I bought two of and was able to clear out other sub-par wool tops. Versatile, wide range of temps with the right layering. And best of all.... Multiple days of wear without stink!! IB wool for the win!
