Icebreaker Men''s Tech T Lite Short Sleeve Shirt

Like many people, I was a bit skeptical of wearing wool in hot weather for hiking, but this thing lived up to all of the wonderful things I''ve been told about merino wool. It doesn''t feel like the wool I remember from years ago, it is soft and very comfortable. After several hikes on warm days without washing the shirt, it didn''t smell... that never would have happened with cotton or any of my synthetic shirts. It''s expensive for a shirt, but the fact that I can wear it backpacking without offending my travel companions makes it worth the price. If you are thinking of wool as a scratchy material reserved for cold weather, think again and give this shirt a try.

every single icebreaker I own has holes in them inside a year (some within weeks) and I have about 8 of them.

Im told its moths or silver fish yet Ive never once seen either in my room, I think its the fact they are so thin and just come apart/wear easily.

Either way they simply dont last long enough to justify the price.

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. It''s 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 don''t launder them after every use. You can pretty much just rinse the icebreaker shirts off in the shower after you''re done and they''ll be good to go by the next day.

I purchased one of these last year, for wearing on my 10 mile (each way) bike commute to/from work. I also purchased a few biking jerseys at the same time. The jerseys are at the bottom of the pile and I have since purchased 4 more of these shirts. I wear them on all my climbs as my base layer.

Yes, they are expensive. But they are worth it. I can wear one for days in the backcountry, a feat I won''t subject my climbing partners to with any other fabric. Wash them in woolite and turn them inside out before washing. To dry, I let our dining room chairs each wear one.

I purchased one of these shirts three years ago to wear during a section hike on the AT. 5 days and 115 miles later I found that it held up well and was comfortable, but that it did smell and it took longer to dry out than patagonia capilene and duofold coolmax shirts I''d worn for similar activities. Following that I wore it on three or four occasions for runs or training, but found that it remained sweat sodden long after the work out was complete. Over the years it has torn around the arm seams and once below the neckline on the back when I tried to take it off following a run. I''d recommend them for travel, but not for any endurance competition or training events.
