Awesome Layer by Icebreaker!Oct 24, 2008
By JShoe
I recently discovered Icebreaker when I decided to try some 100% Merino Wool clothing/layers.
I bought this layer with the zip top, but it's essentially the same shirt (same material/weight/etc).
It breathes very well, but still provides warmth. It is really good, during all year, as a mid-layer; it is great as a sole layer while being active/exercising primarily in fall/spring.
It has a tailored/athletic fit and is meant to hug the body. It is too tight to be worn as a standalone shirt as casual wear, in my opinion/physique, but looks normal for exercise wear. I would prefer if it were a little looser around the bottom, but it does have some stretch. I am 5'10 and about 165/170 lbs. and wear a medium. (I wear a medium in polos by ralph or vvines (~38-40 chest) and 33/34 waist) I like how it is not overly long; some other merino brands I have tried are too long.
***Overall***: Great usability, good style, good fit, great material/hemming. Excellent all around: "A-"
(I have tried many other brands of merino, and still trying more, but thus far- Icebreaker is the very best)
___END OF REVIEW OF SPECIFIC SWEATER___
*If you are interested in more info on wool / contemplating trying it for the firs time - here is more information on my personal experience thus far:
I have used synthetic undershirts and clothing for years (such as capilene by patagonia, underarmour, etc.). I was shopping for new layers to keep me cool, insulated, wicked of sweat, and odor control. I found I could choose between the new 'Coco-whatever' 'charcoal-something' most recently released synthetic or 100% merino wool. I'm glad I chose wool. Although more pricey, I think it's worth the extra for quality of experience while wearing.
The differences I notice between wearing wool versus synthetic are:
1) Wool reduces odor extremely well when you perspire. I sweat more than others, and synthetics of all types used to leave me smelling poorly after a workout or even midway through a hot day. I can sweat profusely in wool and when it is dry: almost no odor whatsoever. Even when drenched with sweat, damp clothing, the odor is masked and faint. Really have to try it to understand. (Although, if you get soaked 100%, by standing in rain for an hour, you will have a bit of a unique hair smell until you become drier)
2) Wool wicks so much better than synthetics. I used to drench in my coolmax, capilene, underarmour, poly-synethetics, etc. Synthetics do seem to dry a lot quicker than cotton if it's your only layer, but underneath other shirts or jackets- I found it almost useless. I would wear under a cotton polo on a hot day and back would be soaking wet, and stay that way. Wearing wool light layer underneath same shirt: significantly less moisture/wetness on back of outer shirt. It's impressive how it pulls the sweat from the skin, keeping me dry, while it adsorbs it away from the outer layer. Hard to explain, but I know I'm sweating as much- yet there is less 'soak thru'; When sweating moderately- I can feel the dampness directly on the back of the merino, but I stay dry next to my skin, and the outer shirt doesn't get soaked. And I tend to be totally dry much faster once I can cool down for a moment.
3) Insulation is far superior. These merino wool layers almost are perfect at temperature regulation: they provide great warmth and increase in warmness when you are active and sweating. Yet, they also tend to be breathable so they won't overheat you. They just seem comfortable pretty much regardless.
In closing, and with full disclosure, I would like to say that I do not work/own stock/have any affiliation at this time with any wool manufacturer/clothing company/or any individual sheep. These are my personal views on the clothing thus far and may change my mind later, but I highly doubt it.

only the bestDec 17, 2008
By Decius
These are the best t-shirts on the market, hands down. The wool is very high quality (soft, looks good), the shirts are never too warm, but are enough to walk around outside in cool weather (as low as 40F for me). They stretch, but don't stay stretched, you can wear them for years. You can also get the lighterweight version that isn't quite as warm (bodyfit200). Best is they don't smell, I see so many people wearing very smelly polyester workout shirts. An icebreaker won't smell at all. If you don't wear it to the gym you can wear the shirt multiple times and it will remain clean.
Downsides: the fabric is durable but not to piercing; one dog bite and the shirt is ruined. You can't put these shirts in the dryer. Smartwool is a competitor that isn't quite as nice but I hear you can put these in the dryer. Also the fit can be snug, which might show off a belly if you have one. But, you don't have to wear them as tight as the models do, I'm 5'10" 180lbs and the L fits loosely over an undershirt. The M is snug and looks OK. Also, they cost $$, but you already knew that.

Hey Merino!!!Feb 22, 2011
By G-Stat
I had been looking for a deal on the 260 bodyfit for a while and when I saw it on sale for under $70 dollars on Amazon I jumped on it. The heavier weight 260 is great for colder conditions. I bought it for winter cycling and mountaineering. The 260 is even softer than my lighter weight bodyfit 200. The medium 200 fits me better in the torso, but the 260 has a looser fit in the torso, but still works great.
The shirt is very comfortable and works great for my winter sport extremes!

 Not as long as picturedFeb 18, 2011
By E. Hansen
"Coffee Monkey's Father"
Relative to the pants, I would say these fit about one size smaller, meaning if you measure out as a medium, order the large. This is based on the icebreaker website suggested sizing.
The shirt is not as long as pictured, in fact it fits shorter than a typical white undershirt. To get the kind of fit pictured, I would have had to order a size larger, but then I would be swimming in the chest. For the thin/skinny folks, you'll either get a loose fit with long sleeves and torso, or a slightly snug fit with a short torso, but adequately long arms.
Is the length a problem? No. It just means it doesn't stay tucked in as well as I would like. So, I wish it was a little longer, but I also wish I had that model's physique.
It's very comfortable. If it were not so expensive, I'd buy a bunch just to wear around the house. It doesn't itch at all. Definitely a 5 star product, but the dimensions don't lend themselves to a tuck-in undershirt.
Love my Icebreakers!May 17, 2012
By NE 111er
Wear this shirt all the time here in Northern NH where it is often cool. Very comfortable, warm and doesn't need to be washed daily! What's not to love. They are a bit pricey, but sure are nice and I would definitely buy it again. Amazon seems to have a better than suggested retail price.
