“These T-shirts actually formed our team T-shirts for a recent expedition to Nepal. I personally practically lived in mine as I was keen to put those non-odour holding merino fibres through a proper testing. I wore the shirt for 7 days straight which was made up of one day sightseeing, one long bus ride and 5 days trekking in 27-30c degree heat. Did the T-shirt smell? No! The T-shirt passed the sniff test with flying colours, and in truth I only changed it because it was getting thick with dust. A fab t-shirt perfect for extended trips in a variety of weathers.
I found the shirt comfortable in the warm heat and able to keep up with the demands of wicking away the sweat. Yes, a polyester tee would wick faster and dry quicker providing more short-term comfort, but how many days would you be able to wear it before it began to honk? In that sort of heat I would say 2 maximum.
The fit of these shirts is great and they're super comfortable too. The shirt was washed and dried on the trek and worn again, and has since been washed again in a washing machine at home and worn again. The shirt has maintained it's previous form and not shrunk by any noticeable amount as can happen with some merino products.
We actually got these shirts branded with our company logo by heat transfer and the logos have not only held well but the process did not damage the merino as can happen with some fibres.”
“Very good T shirt, i use it for basically running with a daysack and keep the sweat off me. This works great, keeps away the sweat but you also remain at a good temperature. Works well as a warm base layer too.”
“Arrived well packed in good time and in good condition. Really liked this product. Super for travel. Keeps fresh for a long time. Keeps me cool/warm depending on temp. Wash it in with the rest of my gear (no special treatment) and it is holding up well.”
“I bought two of these for a forthcoming motorbike trip for their wicking qualities and ease of wear. I'm very confident they will be perfect. I have been in the far east for three weeks on hot and humid days and got the opportunity to really test them. They are brilliant, my cotton shirts T's never came out of my suitcase to see the light of day. The merino shirts wicked and left no body odour, very light and comfortable to wear and no sticking to the body. East to rinse out and dry overnight. I didn't iron them as I found my body heat smoothed them out very quick.”
