6 month backpacker review
After 6 months of heavy use backpacking through South America, I'm happy to report that this is still my favorite thing to wear, and is still in perfect condition.PROS:Very thin and lightweight, ideal for minimalist backpackers, takes up very little space. Wrinkles dissappear after an hour of use. Perfectly warm as a base layer with only a sleeveless jacket in ~40f windy mountains. When properly washed (with wool soap), dries in ~2 hours or less and can be worn for many days with no smell. With sleeves up and buttons open, it's comfortable in weather up to ~70f. Sweat patches are difficult to see on the Grey. It hasn't stretched or shrunk at all. It looks sooo good.CONS:Needs wool soap and no dryer sheets, difficult to arrange with laundry service at hotels/hostels. Will itch and get stinky faster after several washings with normal soap (it strips off the protective lanolin). Body is just loose enough, but arms are tight (your mileage may vary).I haven't experienced any unraveling or loose threads as reported in other reviews, perhaps their quality control has gotten better. This has replaced 2-3 separate items in my tiny minimalist pack. The look is a perfect middle ground of stylish and casual, with a nice drape to the very soft, thin fabric. I recommend hand washing with any wool soap if you're travelling, it line dries quickly. Otherwise, I used the same wash and dry settings at home as my normal cottons (but with wool soap) and never had a problem. Merino wool was sent from the gods, highly recommended! 👍

I liked this product initially
I liked this product initially, though the sleeves are too long for me.It's comfortable.Once washed, it shrunk a bit, making the torso width a bit more fitted.It's my goto winter layer now.BUT: The stitching at the bottom of the hand-pocket unraveled within the first week, leaving me with no working pocket. The hole grows larger, and the entire pocket will soon be useless.I would chalk it up to something in the pocket wearing through, but the only item I occasionally carried in the pocket was my earbuds.

Comfortable and fits well
My grandkids and I are traveling more often, and one requirement is everyone must be able to pack in a backpack bag (usually suitcase style opening) and small personal bag (if wanted) and carry their own bags. Using merino wool shirts and layering means less items to pack. My grandson loves this shirt so much he has worn it at least 30 times (considering current temperatures back home, that's quite a bit!). It's a little thin, but that's fine for home, and perfect for layering as needed. The shirt doesn't hold body odor and so far has held its shape. I wash it in a lingerie bag to prevent snags and I do not put any of the wool shirts in the dryer, despite the labels saying it is okay.

Just what it says, a woolie hoodie that is hard to find these days.
Great for cold/cool underlayer, have used on a few mountain summit trips, I wear it in sleeping bag, no itch, perfect little bit of added warmth. Does what it should. Seems like good quality, no issue yet, though it IS light duty.

Amazing
I was hesitant to buy this because of the price and usability, but let me tell you.. this thing is AMAZING. I've used it on my late night runs and it wicks moisture and sweat away while keeping you warm. After drenching this in sweat, I let it dry and the next day it has no smell! I've tested it and used it on a couple runs now and it STILL didn't smell!With this thought, I'll be investing in more merino wool clothing articles.Just buy it! Think of the price as if you're buying a couple of Tshirts/ day wear since you can wear this on multiple days without smelling!!

Doesn't hold up
I've had this hoody now for almost a year which has seen light infrequent use and washed maybe once according to instructions. It is very light, best used as a base layer or in mild temperatures. Fits fairly well although so light it almost loses shape? Anyway just noticed the holes after a jog today and considering the cost I'm pretty disappointed.

Nice
Very nice material and great color. It fit well across the chest but was too long for me. I'm 6 ft. tall and both the body and the arms were too long. I returned for a smaller size. We'll see how that fits.

Meh....
I was looking for a more finished looking fabric, like a Smartwool shirt. These are more like a t-shirt look & feel...a little fuzzy basically.
