I bought this to wear while cycling because of  the high visibility  bright florescent trim and contrast stiching.This shirt looks great and feels very comfortable while riding in 80+ degree temps due to the lighweight of this wool and the eyelet fabric detail under the arms and back of the shoulders. even when I get soaked with sweat I dont get that sufficating feeling like i do with  the cotton shirts that I have. I love icebreaker wool shirts wish I could afford to buy a whole drawer full of them! I am 6''1" and ordered the 2xl the fit is a little breezier than other 2xl sizes I have ordered so the cut must be less trim,so keep this in mind if your looking for a cling tight cycling shirt.As far as durabilty goes I have similer icebreaker wool shirts that are 3 yrs old and still like new just wash on cold regular liquid detergent gentle cycle and hang dry.

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.
