Best Wool Shirt ever at bargain prices!
I'm a big fan of merino wool socks and shirts as a base layer. In fact, I'm starting to replace all my active gear to merino wool as it does not stubbornly hold onto odors like synthetics or cotton (even after washing). Most lightweight merino shirts I've tried are either scratchy, flimsy, or just not cut right. This shirt addresses all those problems and I'm going to start buying up more. Brand new, this shirt is so soft to the skin I didn't want to take it off for weeks! While the soft feel did fade with time, it's still my favorite shirt to wear. The XXL was slightly big (I have a long torso), but probably right for my current weight. If I was 20-30 lbs lighter, the XL would probably be just right.Last note - this shirt runs about $10-20 less than leading brands I've purchased in the past. It's rare these days to find something of superior quality at a lower price. Hope this review helps your decision!

Shirts aren't sized the same across colors and when laundered, this is exacerbated...
These shirts utilize an acceptable merino and appear well-constructed; however, no two shirts are the same size as they are different sizes across the colors. They’re so inconsistent…each of the 4 colors I have (blue, grey, orange, and green...all in the same size) have different lengths, widths, other dimensions, which is exacerbated when caring for them using the recommended laundering process…the blue one shrinks to the point that it shows my belly button…the gray one somehow ends up longer than before. I’ve owned many merino products and love the performance of the fabric - these miss that performance mark as well - they do not wick well and once they meet sweat and are wet, they take forever to dry. Each time I put one of the shirts on, I regret having purchased them.UPDATE: The company got back to me and corrected the issues.

Favorite merino shirt at great price
I absolutely love these shirts. They are the softest merino shirt out of dozens of Ibex, Iceberaker, Smartwool. Their anti-odor properties also seem better. I've worn these 10+ times including sweaty hikes, and still no smell. I've had zero durability issues with these (that includes their boxers too), though it seems some people have issues with holes. I wash them by hand and lay flat to dry. I wear them year round. Great for regulating temperature under other layers, and light in the summer without getting damp and smelly like cotton.I prefer the 150 weight over the 190 but both are great. I am 5'8" 160 lbs and I like the slightly slim fit of the small. The medium fit okay but the sleeves and length were too long. I tried a couple in black but they fit waaay tighter than the gray and blue - not sure what's going on there.The price is high for a regular cotton t-shirt, but this isn't a regular t-shirt. And they're about half the price of other name brand merino shirts. I look forward to seeing what other colors and styles they'll offer in the future. Recommended without reservation.

Ridiculously awesome shirt
It's lightweight, breathable, soft, doesn't trap odor, doesn't wrinkle, and looks nice. It's holding up perfectly so far after a couple months of constant wear (though I do wash it separately with merino wool shampoo and lay flat to dry). Fits as expected.The volume of the laundry I do has reduced by 70% because I can wear these merino wool shirts at least twice between washes and because they're so light, taking up almost no room in a washer. And I'm saving on both the washes plus the reduction of running the drier. So the extra cost vs cotton is a non-issue to me for the quality and the savings.

life changing
when i got this i was dismayed on opening it by how thin and light it was. i decided, well at least i can try it on to see how their sizes run, but obviously i'll need to order one of their other thicker shirts. 5 minutes after putting it on, i realized i had probably never been this warm in winter with just a t-shirt on. just astonishing. after trying for a day or 2, i ordered another in black.update 11/6/19: after ~6 months of use, this navy one is full of holes in the back. the black one is ok. none of the other (more expensive) wool t-shirts i bought at the same time by other manufacturers have done this. it has been laundered in a good machine and only air-dried, treated very carefully. i'd now revise my review title to "wool t-shirts are life changing"... not necessarily this one.

For the price, I expected more
I've worked the shirt maybe a dozen times, and some of the stitching is coming undone around the hem at the bottom. For $50, that seems a little hefty. The wool is nice for travel, but compared to a regular tee, I'm not getting my money's worth when it is going to be useless after a few dozen more wears.For any intense activity, I've found that tech tees with odor control, like polygiene, work much better. The downside is that they tend to be shiny in normal wear, so you don't look as casual. The wool addresses that, but I can find a tech tee for $10 with odor control, and a regular cotton tee for $5...

Perfect!
Just received my light blue merino crew T-shirt and two pairs of merino classic boxers.Thank you! Wonderful! I'm 5'11", 195 lbs and the extra large T and large boxers fit me perfectly, loose the way I like. The Large T would have been fine probably, but as I say, I like a loose fit. Love the fact seams and minimal tags are designed to be on the outside. I have a couple Wool & Prince T's, but I like this one better, and it is less money. Ultra smooth and long tail. Feels like silk only better.Nothing else comes close to merino wool.I can wear this stuff for weeks between washings. Perfect for travel, camping. I can reduce the size of my wardrobe considerably.I've got twenty cotton T-shirts and boxers that will go into the rag bin.

Ideal travel clothes
I wish I could get more otherwise I'd replace all my t-shirts with these.Great fit (loose, not a snug "base layer" type fit) - thin and light and really does dry as quickly as claimed - faster than synthetic "quick drying" clothes. Taken it away on holiday a few times now - can wear it for ages without smelling and can be easily hand washed and still dry over night.

The Icebreaker was absolutely fine while this developed multiple holes and ladders in it
I used this to hike in alongside an Icebreaker Crew. The Icebreaker was absolutely fine while this developed multiple holes and ladders in it.I'd say the quality on these T shirts just isn't good.

Piacevole sorpresa
Allora parto dalla spedizione: in ritardo! Comunque non avevo fretta e mi è arrivata la mail di scuse etc…quindi caso chiuso. La t-shirt era imballata perfettamente. È molto bella, veste comodo, ho preso la L, per una vestibilità fit sarebbe stato meglio la M, ma comunque ok. Lana morbida, non punge, ottima fattura, zero odore di sudore, anche sé fortunatamente non ho problemi, un confronto con Icebreaker devo dire che lo regge alla grande, costo inferiore, io continuo a preferire Icebreaker, ma devo dire che sono soddisfatto e ne consiglio l'acquisto!!

I normally fit size S okay. This shirts fits excellent. Thin material but still provides some warmth (perhaps too warm for hot days). Soft and comfortable, at least for a wool product. Seems to be durable enough and doesn't crease as badly as cotton.
