100% Merino Wool Men's Lightweight T-Shirt - Crew Neck Short Sleeve Shirt

I purchased this shirt for general wear but also for use on extended bicycle tours. I've used many synthetic garments from top end brands such as patagonia, nike, under armor and north face with similar and somewhat smelly results. Despite the anti microbial properties of many synthetic garments I've never felt that any of them have held up under long bike rides or hikes without smelling awful. Merino wool will certainly stink if you wear it day after day on an extended trip, but not to the same degree and not very noticeably either. That was primarily why I purchased these shirts and I'm very pleased I did so.First off, I recommend ordering a size up if you'd like a slightly more relaxed fit (6'2" 165lbs and ordered a Large). They'll still be somewhat form fitting but not to the same extent as ordering your normal size. Having a more tightly fitted shirt probably helps somewhat with moisture wicking, but as I said I opted for a more casual/relaxed look. With that being said I've stayed very dry on extended bike rides in hot weather (60+miles, 77 degrees). I have yet to use these on tour, but for now it has passed the test.These shirts are also as comfortable as any soft cotton t-shirt I've ever worn but much more travel worthy. Being able to hand wash and hang dry a garment in a timely manner is very important to me when traveling, and so far I've noticed this shirt will completely dry after washing within two hours (probably faster in hotter weather). That's about as good as any synthetic shirt I've owned. However I find that it can be difficult to totally rid a synthetic shirt of its awful smell when hand washing it on the road. Whereas these shirt tend to only need to be put in the breeze (let alone a full wash) and the B.O. smell is practically gone.So fart I've ridden in temperatures up to the upper 70's and am anxious to try them in hotter weather. Initially I was concerned that they might be too warm, but they really don't feel any different than my favorite cotton shirts so I'm anticipating being able to wear them in the heat of the summer. Bottom line is I'm glad I purchased these and will/have recommend them to friends. They're also quite a bit cheaper than competing brands such as IceBreaker and Smartwool.

I'm 6'4" and 200 lbs. The XL fits perfectly.I have at least 25 wool t-shirts (who is this guy, the King of France?).I would rate these shirts as nice as any of the other more famous brands.Thicker cloth. Not scratchy. Nicer choice of colors. Great fit, not tight but not baggy at the waist.Love the sleeve length. A little longer than the other wool tees but I like that.No idea about durability. I've only had them for two months but I have worn them very often.So far so good.

Comfort: I've worn this almost a week strait this January as a base-layer indoors/outdoors/working and have been one happy customer. After a week of waring- no funk, even having spilled a little goat cheese and other crumbs on it. The coyness I get next to my skin is luxurious. There was maybe a minor scratchiness at first but my skin quickly got over that.Sizing: I wear an 2X, it's a little on the snug size but also stretches out a bit and relaxes with wear. The shirt is plenty long in the torso for me (I'm 6'4"), which makes me happy they didn't skimp on length to cut corners like many shirt manufacturers do.Money well spent, I plan on buying more.

I normally wear large-tall shirts, but could not find a merino wool tee shirt in that size anywhere. I tried Minus 33 size large, and it works for my 6'3" long-torso body. It's comfortable and seems well-made. I've used it for long walks and going to the gym, so I sweat in it, but it stays cool and dries very quickly.

The fit and style are great: just a logo-less grey merino wool shirt with a reasonable length, however I have shirts from a few wool-focused brands and this shirt smells noticeably more like sheep than the others. The bottom hem is also coming undone, which hasn't happened with the others. I'd recommend Ibex shirts instead. I've had four of their shirts that I've had for over 3 years, wearing frequently, that are very well made, smell normal, and fit well. Ibex shirts cost more, but $$/hours-worn ends up lower, since even with this new Minus33 shirt, I'll wear my old Ibex shirts first, until they're all dirty and then wear this shirt if the laundry hasn't been done.Not terrible, just not the great deal I'd hoped it would be.

I have been really happy with all of the Minus33 Merino Wool products I've purchased and used. I use the Merino Wool t-shirts, shorts and socks as base layers especially for my motorcycle riding all year. In the summer the merino wool wicks perspiration off the body and then with properly vented riding gear you have a ready made evaporative cooling system that works great. I'm comfortable even on very warm summer rides. In the cooler weather the Merino Wool is the perfect base for layering. The best part: At the end of the day's riding, I rinse out the shirts, shorts and socks in a sink with a little Woolite, hang them up to dry and by the next morning they are dry and ready to go! This means I don't have to pack a lot of clothes on my longer rides around the country. There are some synthetic materials that advertise the same benefits, but I'll stick with the Merino Wool.Rhys Williams

Although somewhat expensive it has been a good shirt. Light enough for use during summer heat and humidity. It has retained it’s shape and never leaves you feeling damp or clamy. Just the kind of shirt especially for traveling, since the wool impedes the growth of bacteria, you can wear it several days before washing.Overall a good lightweight shirt for all occasions, and very useful for travel.

I have a dozen of M33 shirts and this one is different. I don't care for it.It's way scratchy compared to all my others and the smell is not the same. I don't think it's 100 M wool although it says so. It's the only M33 I don't like. Feels like polyester.
