I wear the shirt while biking,hiking,or just casual wear around the house or out on the town...feels great for any use and does not stink when you get sweaty...my only wish is that icebreaker made their shirt a little bigger and longer...i am 6''1" and i usually wear a xl in other brands but always have to get an xxl in the icebreaker brand t shirts to have enough width and length...which it is not always easy to find an xxl size in icebreaker.....other than that i have no complaints about this garment....The more you wear it,  the more you ONLY want to wear it..enough said.

I am a huge merino wool fan and this Icebreaker shirt does not disappoint.  It wicks sweat away from my body better than any polyester workout shirt that I have, dries quickly and best of all does not retain odor.  It is simply amazing!  The material is very soft, but I did notice a slight bit of itchiness when the shirt was brand new.  The slight, and I do means slight, bit of itchiness has seemed to dissipate after a few wear and wash cycles.  The only minor complaint I have is that the collar is a bit wide.  It is not so large as to be an issue, but I would personally prefer the neck to be a tad bit smaller.  I am slowly but surely upgrading my wardrobe with wool shirts as I can find them on sale.  At retail price they are a bit pricey, but when compared to over-rated polyester sports shirts, these merino wool shirts are well worth the price of admission!  Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great wool shirt.
