I was getting ready to go on a trip and wanted to try just bringing two shirts for the whole trip. Merino is legendary for odor resistance and warmth. But it also breathes and keeps you cool. It just does whatever you need to help regulate your temperature. So I purchased two of these shirts and gave them a shot. When I opened them, I was a little concerned about the thickness of the fabric. They are fairly thin, and I thought that might be a problem. Turns out I was wrong. Even with relatively thin fabric, the merino wool did its job very well. Wicked sweat and dried pretty quickly. The fabric is also soft and not itchy at all. Even after wearing all day through airports and multiple airplanes, I still felt fresh at the end of the trip. The shirt wasn’t too snug or too loose on me. I was able to style them alone with jeans or khaki pants and also use them as undershirts on cooler mornings. Good style all around. I washed them in a bag for delicate clothes and only used a small amount of detergent. I was worried about washing them, as wool is notoriously difficult to wash right. But these seemed to do fine. I felt like they were a little less soft after the second wash, but they never got itchy. The only negative is the conflicting instructions on washing. The shirt comes with one set of instructions on the paper tag, another set on the tag inside the shirt, and a website recommendation that has yet a third was of washing. So, should I wash them by hand? In a machine by themselves on delicate? I kinda gave up trying to figure out which way to do it and just used some common sense. But that’s my only gripe. Otherwise this was a good purchase and I’m sure I’ll buy more in the future. Review: Excellent Merino wool shirt - I bought this Merino wool shirt based, largely on the positive reviews. Now here I am, posting a positive review of my own. I bought a large size, hoping it was an athletic fit enough to wear as an undershirt during cold weather. I’m average build, definitely not slim, more of a “dad bod” if that gives you any indication, and this shirt fits exactly the same as any other underwear tee shirt I have. I can probably wear it with some jeans as well, on days when I’m feeling “skinny”. The quality of the material is good, well stitched and smooth, and feels great against the skin. It’s their lightweight version, but certainly warmer than a cotton tee, which is what I wanted. It came with a pair of high quality, impressive merino wool socks. Highly recommended.

Decent wool shirt, not excellent
I purchased one of these shirts and shortly after I purchased another one because I liked it. It's a nice, airy 100% wool shirt. Smartwool and others typically (from what little knowledge/experience I have ) seem to do 10 or 11% Nylon to make them more durable. I can't speak to whether that's good or bad. I have washed these shirts twice, once by hand and once in my machine folded neatly and stuffed into a laundry bag. I lay them flat to dry. While wearing each, it felt like one was longer than the other, and sure enough that is indeed the case. One is 27" in length and the other is 28 1/2" in length. They're both mediums and they're both from this product listing. Kindof annoying that there's such a great difference in size. "fit" is more or less the same from one to the other. For around forty bucks, plus the free pair of mid-weight (not great fitting, but decent) socks it's an alright deal. I don't think I'll buy any more from these guys until I see how these shirts hold up over the years. It does seem to be actual wool since after going for objectively intensive walks in the warm weather, these shirts don't stink (even though I do) and they smell like wet sheep when I pull them out of the wash (hand wash or wash bags only). Construction is typical of a t-shirt. ribbing around the back of the collar to reinforce and keep its shape. Single seam at top of shoulder, seams at side. I would prefer a double seam at the top (keeping the very top flat) and side seams to taper inward, as it's more conducive to comfort while carrying a backpack, but that's a more expensive process. These are "casual" shirts, for sure. I may update this as time goes on :) UPDATE after about two years of daily alternating wear, one of them has become threadbare near one of the shoulders and has developed a pretty good size hole in the armpit. FYI

Better than expected!
I bought 2 t shirts from Merino.tech. I wanted to test these as thoroughly as possible, so I wore them each for an extended period of time. Each t shirt got worn for a period of a little over 3 weeks. During the testing period, there were nice spring temps and early summer temps into the 90s. The shirts fit exactly as expected. They feel a bit heavier than a typical Hanes or whatever typical cotton T. It feels comfortable, and a little bit more springy than the average cotton. It definitely does dry quicker, and on hot days, the wicking action helps one to stay cool. After several weeks of wearing each, when I took them off, they did not have much of an odor at all. Merino wool truly does have antibacterial qualities that prevent it from taking on a bad smell. Anyone going out for any sort of long term outdoor adventures should consider Merino.Tech. If you are going on an extended outdoor adventure (Like hiking the AT) you can not lose wearing this inexpensive merino wool clothing. Ultimately, I can not fault Merino.Tech in any way. Their clothing is durable and high quality. It fits just as listed. It doesn't get smeIly. is generally less expensive than other brands. I will definitely buy again.

Soft, Sturdy, and Powerful in a Power Outage!
I am so thankful the folks who are responsible for the creation of this shirt! New England has been dumped with a couple of really nasty, heavy snowstorms this late March and April, in which hundreds of thousands have lost power, including me. Living in a building where everything is powered by electric, having a layer like this is really a true lifesaver. My skin is highly sensitive to friction, and although an alpaca gaiter completely failed, this t-shirt absolutely won the power outage! It is thoroughly comfortable: soft, well fitting according to the size chart, with absolutely no itchiness whatsoever. It truly is the perfect base layer in the cold, and I intend to purchase more for this winter. I chose to wash it upon arrival using a small drop of gentle unfragranced facial cleanser (it was what I had on hand) and a cold water soak of about 10 minutes. Following a thorough rinse also in cold water, I laid it upon a clean towel and gently rolled it to remove excess water. It's very important not to wring out wool, as it will stretch and harm the fibers. I laid it across the top of a drying rack, where it dried in about 18 hours. Had I done a second towel dry, it would have dried more quickly, but I hadn't planned well enough to do laundry so there wasn't quite an abundance of towels at hand! The result was a perfectly clean, cozy shirt ready to go. I checked all the seams and this shirt appears to be very well made and built to last. Wool base layers are supposed to be on the thin side, and that doesn't affect their warmth. Highly recommended!

Great shirt for a great price
Great Merino wool shirts for a great price! The added socks is a huge bonus. Definitely size up if you want to wear it as a t shirt or order your regular size if using as a base layer. I own several and plan on getting more!

Good materials and good fit in certain areas but poor fit overall
I'm 6'1" 190 lbs, with a 36" waist and a 44" chest. My physique is similar to that of the model wearing the shirt. I cannot comment on longevity or durability as the fit was not for me. Notes - Fit on arms is just right, not too loose or snug - Fit across the shoulders is good - L-size is up to 44" chest, and my chest is 44", but this shirt fits like it's a spray-painted-on shirt - Around the waist, it is more subtly loose, which I like at my age over the spray-on upper fit, but the fit looks contrasting and more like it is made for a smaller chest, fatter belly individual - The length is longer than I like below the belt by a couple of inches - The feel of the fabric is good and comfortable I wanted to like this shirt, but for the ill-fit and cost, I'll be returning it.

Great for Travel - lightweight merino shirt
Merino wool t-shirts have become my go-to travel t-shirt. I have a few from other brands and was looking for a light-colored one to wear on its own or as a base layer, with a button-down shirt over it. I discovered Merino-tech and was skeptical as it is about half the price of the other brands I own, but the shirt does not disappoint and perfectly meets my needs. It is very thin and lightweight, so I can't speak to its durability, but as with all merino wool shirts, care is important. Because of the odor resistance, you can wear it multiple days without washing, just never put it in the dryer. As for sizing, I went with the Medium though the chart recommended a small. I am 5'10, 155 lbs so I may have been able to pull off the Small, but in this case, I preferred the slightly looser fit, which increases its breathability (needed in the Summer), and the S is a little bit shorter - one thing I can't stand is showing my belly when I raise my arms, so I preferred the longer fit. I bought the shirt in Arctic Blue with perfectly matched the picture online. The hiking socks were a nice GWP (gift with purchase). They feel cozy and warm, but thanks to the moisture-wicking properties of Merino Wool, my feet don't get sweaty. As an added and unexpected surprise, a few weeks after my purchase, I received an extra pair of thin Merino Wool socks, which are great for everyday use! Thanks, Merino.tech!
