These shirts are amazing. I use them for running and they wick sweat like none other. The fit is great, not too tight, not too loose. Its really light and comfortable. Merino wool is the best fabric you can get. Probably the best part is what the other review says: these shirts never smell at all. Under Armour and other brands smell horrible if you dont launder them after every use. You can pretty much just rinse the icebreaker shirts off in the shower after youre done and theyll be good to go by the next day.

This shirt is awesome. It was recommended to me by a friend but because of the price and material (wool) I was skeptical at first. Its 100% merino wool, which sounds like it would be hot, scratchy and just overall uncomfortable, but this isnt the case at all. I will admit is was a little scratchy when I first got it, but after about two washes it was fine.
Because of the merino wool if Im hot and sweaty it keeps my cool by wicking sweat away, and because wool is such a great insulator when Im cold it keeps me warm. The best part though is that it NEVER smells at all.
I used to wear a lot of Under Armour but after a good workout it would smell absolutely TERRIBLE. I definitely wouldnt be able to wear it more than once.
On the other hand with Icebreaker, an adventurer Sir Peter Blake wore a prototype of the shirt for "40 days and 40 nights and it didnt itch or get whiffy".
Seriously do yourself a favor and buy this shirt!
