Cheap Icebreaker SuperFine 200 Hopper T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's Review

First off, I totally agree with the first reviewer in that I was surprised to see no other reviews. I don't see how you could try this clothing and not show support for it and really rethink your wardrobe.

I recently discovered Icebreaker when I decided to try some 100% Merino Wool clothing/layers.

This shirt is a lightweight shirt that could be used as either an undershirt on colder days or a sole layer while being active outdoors in the summer/fall/spring. It would work well as a mid-layer when a bit cooler outside.

***Overall***: Great usability, good style, great 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 SHIRT___
*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.
