Icebreaker BodyFit 200 Chakra 1/4-Zip Top - Women's

Terrible quality. It was ragged and tissue thin. It was way too short in the torso and sleeves. I wear a small in every other type of top like this but this was such an awkward fit. I would never in a million years ever even try another piece of clothing from this brand because of this. Thankfully, Backcountry has a great return policy!

I have several Icebreaker pieces. But the quarter zip tops are my favorites--especially the Chakra 200. I wear it hiking, to bed, back out of bed, horseback riding, back to home, and then to yoga. It is thin enough to put another layer over it; absolutely non-itch (and I have allergies). I love these tops.

If you order your regular size, know that the Chakra zip fits skin tight in the torso. I was hoping to use this top as an extra layer for running/biking over a sleeveless or short sleeve top, but there is absolutely no room for another layer beneath it. I usually wear a small and have an athletic build (no belly to speak of). I don't want to go a size up as then it will be too big across the back and chest (you know -- that "bat wing" under arm effect). The sleeves are nice and long and it is a well-made piece. If it had a little extra room in the torso, it could function as a base layer as well as a second layer... and be perfect. As is, it's not a keeper.

should have took more notice of that statement in a review,I prefer these types of tops a little looser for everyday wear,returning mine as I felt it ran too tight,other wise seemed well constructed.

love it!
no itch at all. Perfect warmth. I usually sweat easily. wore it on a warmer day with a cami under and a shell jacket on top; wore it on a colder day with another long sleeve layer with the jacket on top and was perfect both days.

ordered this in peacock and I love the color! it's warm enough to wear it alone under a coat for these cool fall new england days. I just wish it had a little bit more room to layer a thin shirt/tank underneath it comfortably.

Seriously, they don't stink and they are so warm. Icebreaker is exceptionally comfortable. As a snowsports professional, I wear them every single day! I love that I don't have to wash them daily, comfort, and warmth!

Like Jaima, I'm giving it four stars because it's not quite as odor-proof as I had dreamed. Other than that, it's a great top, true to size and color, light and warm but not too warm, etc. I do love merino wool and have enjoyed my icebreaker pieces in the past, so I intend to keep building my merino wool collection.

I lThe bove Icebreaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The best!!!!!!

I have several Icebreaker shirts and have owned many for years!! Love them all and can't say enough great things about the way they fit and keep you warm.

This is now my all time favorite cool, damp weather bike jersey. It fits close enough not to flap, doesn't stink when sweaty, and doesn't itch.
Short zipper can be adjusted to let out excess heat, or zipped up for more warmth.

True to size, but close fitting as
a base layer should be. I got
a medium to make sure it would go over my workout tops without any
lumps showing (normally I would wear a small). So far it fits just right, keeps me perfectly comfortable in spring/summer temps (it is nice protection against rain & over-air-conditioned spaces) and dont be fooled by the lightweight fabric - it is sturdy and well made. On a typical day I might scrape up against
muddy, moss-covered rocks in the pouring rain, then
after a light brushoff, I wear it - proudly - out for beers or coffee.

The minute I put it on I could tell I'd be wearing it a ton this winter. It's super comfy and ridiculously soft. It's not as warm as I was hoping or thinking it would be, but it's an excellent base layer.
It's also really cute. I got the black one and it actually looks good by itself- not like a base layer.

this shirt is a staple for me. I now have 3. I love it for running, I can just tie it on my waist once i heat up and it is super lightweight. the 1/4 zip is great for dumping heat when i start to warm up. great for those cool early morning runs

I'm always cold...always. So, I love how warm wool is, but I definitely do not like the itch factor...enter Icebreaker merino wool. It's amazing stuff. It's warm, it's soft, and it rarely smells. The green color is adorable and I would guess the 1/4 zip is great if you get a little too warm.

First of all, I have to say I am a sucker for the 1/4 zip tops. Love them. I have fleece ones, lightweight capilene ones, midweight capilene ones, etc...I decided I needed to try out the merino wool variety and settled on Icebreaker. This piece is great. The fit is amazing, fitted without being restrictive and the wool is so soft and smooth! I didn't give it five stars because despite all of the claims of being stink-free, after a day of snowboarding it definitely needed to be washed. Maybe I'm just stinky or the softshell I had over it kept my sweat from evaporating fast enough or maybe the synthetic shirt I had underneath was to blame...whatever the reason, it still stank. Maybe I'll try it on its own this weekend and see how that goes. I'd still recommend it, but know that you will need to wash it as much as anything else.

This is a beautiful top which also keeps me warm just like all my other merino wool tops.

I love this top! The fit is great- I have a Large, as I have a very broad torso and it does not constrict at all. The wool is as soft as can be so there is no scratchiness at all. I tend to get warm on runs, even on the coldest days and if I peel off the jacket, I am perfectly fine in this. I almost exclusively wear smart wool socks and will now start converting all my winter running gear to merino wool.
