Icebreaker BodyFit260 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's

The Icebreaker Men's 2-Tone Long-Sleeve BodyFit260 Crew offers some much-needed style in base layer fashion, not to mention it's made of 100% Merino, the best natural fiber for temperature regulation in the world. Merino has some incredible advantages over synthetic fabrics: it keeps its heat-retaining properties when wet, prevents body odor build-up better than any chemical treatment, offers expedition-weight warmth at half the bulk, and rivals many synthetics in breathability. Use the Icebreaker Crew as a base layer when skiing or as a shirt for cool fall and spring activities. Make no mistake, merino is not the wool of yesterday—though it has wool's incredible heat-retaining qualities and breathability, it lacks the scratchiness and discomfort you remember from years ago.

Bottom Line: Merino knows what will make you comfortable: the Icebreaker 2-Tone Long-Sleeve Crew.

Thanks to the Merino sheep!

This stuff is awesome! I wear this year round, and add another layer over top in the winter. Super comfy and the no stink factor on multi-day trips is a huge plus.

My new favorite.

By:
November 21, 2007

This is my new favorite long-sleeve top. Warm, breathable, doesn't hold odor, dries quickly - all as advertised. Yeah, it's expensive, but it is Merino wool. Just think of it as an investment in the most versatile (and incognito) sweater you'll own.

I'm 5'6 140lb, small or medium? Looking for a running

I'm 5'6 140lb, small or medium? Looking for a running shirt for fall/winter runs, how well does this perform. Trying to run in 40 degrees (possibly colder) w/o using a bulky jacket (too much weight). How warm will this keep me, how well does it breathe and regulate temperature? Are there other shirts that perform as well (or better) but possibly cheaper?

I'm 5'11" 175 lbs and a med fits snug but I can still fit a lightweight layer underneath (such as a silk weight or an IB 150). Unless you want is loose and hanging, I'd suggest a small for you. It regulates temp great. I think it would be perfect alone in 40 degrees - if you are a person who gets cold easily you can put a thin layer underneath - if you overheat easily this will breath well. The next best thing I have to this is a midweight Duofold - not as good at warmth but cheaper and you can throw the duofold in the dryer and never worry about it.

GREAT SHIRT

By:
December 10, 2007

I bought my first BodyFit260 about a year ago and it quickly became the most worn shirt in my closet. I have since bought other Icebreaker clothing and have yet to be disappointed. The rave about wool is on the mark; it keeps its shape and doesn't stink even with days of consecutive wear.

Great midlayer

By:
December 29, 2008

Be sure to follow the care instructions... These shirts will shrink and piss you off, because they are the best, luckily i bought more than one. Merino wool is great and 260 weight is ideal for mid layer in cold and can function on its own in better weather. Icebreaker is my favorite wool clothing company now. The only complaint would be, I wish they would have included the thumb holes on this shirt.

The largest size they make is the XXL, which apparently fits a 46" chest (and most Icebreaker tops are on the small size, although this one has a little more room). At 54", the XXL would likely be pretty snug.

IB260 vs Paty Cap3

By:
November 5, 2009

This is an awesome mid weight base layer. I've been using Patagonia Capilene 3 as a base layer for the last couple ski seasons. That stuff is great IF you're not worried about how much gear you're packing for a 10 day ski trip and tippin the scales at the airport. A couple of hard days skiing in the Paty and the stink on that shirt is kickin' like an NFL punter. In Paty's defense, the IB piece is definitely more expensive.

With the Bodyfit260 being Merino wool I can get away with wearing it for 4 [or more] days, which means I only have to pack 2 of them for a week+ trip. The wool is soft against the skin and super comfy. I'll definitely be picking some more up. I just picked up a wool Patagonia base layer, but haven't had a chance to compare the two yet.

On sizing, I'm 6' 175lbs and picked up a medium for a snug/baselayer fit. If you wanted it to be loose and hang off of you a little, get a large.

Follow the washing instructions

By:
February 20, 2009

Great piece of clothing for an underlayer. i have Eczema and this is the only wool that I've found so far that doesn't make my skin light up. Great price for icebreaker but you have to follow the washing instructions perfectly because my medium is now a size for a small child.

By:
February 16, 2009

I'm totally addicted to Icebreaker, and buy pretty much everything that shows up on SAC. This is oen of my favorites. Fit is perfect and extremely comfortable. Not sure why they didn't put thumb loops on this one - all the other 260 wieght shirts have them. But no biggy. I am 6', 180, athletic build and the large is perfect. Buy it. It will be your favorite too.

Perfect

By:
2 days ago

Bought my first early this fall, and after wearing it for a few days, I ordered my second. Looks very good for everyday use, looks fine after normal machine wash, regulates body heat well and does not smell. I think the 200 is a little to thin to wear alone during winter, but the 260 is much better. Pair it with a 200 contour t-shirt and a fleece or a primaloft jacket, and you are pretty well covered under your shell jacket.

Fresh shirt

By:
July 27, 2009

I have owned this close to a year and have yet needed to wash it, I air it out on occasion but it really has not worked up any kind of bad smell. That is amazing. I am 6'4" and the XL fits perfect, I can wear a t-shirt under it if I want or all by itself. It is a great weight, not too heavy yet not too clingy like some lighter weight wool pieces. Only complaint is that the black color shows seems to show and pick up a decent amount of fuzz/hair. I wore this under my Marmot Zeus on a -15 day and was fine. very nice piece.

excellent midweight

By:
October 19, 2009

I've had this top for about a year now. Its thickness and weight make it a great midweight, but I find it warmer than most midweights. That being said it regulates temperature well - as most wool tops do. I've worn this day after day snowboarding with a light baselayer underneath and a shell/jacket on top. Only on the coldest/windiest days (5 degrees) did I need any other layers. It also looks good for casual wear. I'm 5'11, 175lbs and the medium fits perfect - snug but not skin tight.

The sizes do run small, I normally wear a medium, but I didn't want the tight feel so I went to a large and it fits great.

A great base layer

By:
January 7, 2008

As the second piece of Icebreaker clothing I have purchased, the BodyFit260 crew has pleased me as much or more than my first item, BodyFit200, which I really loved for the fit and warmth.

I think that Icebreaker really does live up to all of the hype about odor resistance and superior warmth. I often where my Icebreaker gear for days of snowboarding without washing it, and I have never been accused of smelling. Similarly, the warmth of the merino wool is great.

My favorite part about the Icebreaker BodyFit260 is the fit and style. If you have an athletic body--i.e., larger shoulders and chest with a smaller waist--the BodyFit260 will fit you well and look great.

If you purchase an IceBreaker product and you make sure you get the right size, I think you will really enjoy your purchase. Also, this site is an amazing retailer in that they have great customer service and a wonderful return policy if you are unsatisfied in anyway.

Happy shopping!

Yes made from Bodyfit 260 fabric. The 260 is made from 100% pure Merino wool and features 30% more of that wool than the 200 line, making the Bodyfit 260 more warm.

Great for both casual and technical wear.

By:
November 18, 2008

This is turning into one of my favorite long-sleeved shirts. I wear it around town all the time, but because it is merino, it is great at regulating temperature and moisture without retaining odors. This shirt is not as form fitting as my Icebreaker Oasis shirts but still has the extra length, which I love. I still ended up sizing up one size - I'm 6'2, 190 lbs and a size XL fits perfectly.

Warm, soft, comfy

By:
January 29, 2008

I bought this to replace the fake Underarmor stuff I got from a local ski shop. I wanted something warmer and less stinky. This fit the bill. Kept me fairly warm and smelled just fine after skiing for hours. I thought it would insulate a little better, but overall, I was pretty satisfied.

Wool is made new

By:
February 4, 2008

At ~6ft and only ~145 lbs., I am cold almost all the time. Skiing the Rockies this season has averaged about 25 degrees F (brrrr). The hi-tech fabrics were not keeping me warm and I had to wear too many layers (about 4-5). Although I am mildly allergic to wool, I tried IceBreaker's BodyFit 260. I am very glad I did. Not only did it keep me warm (just this and my jacket was sufficient) but I didn't stink after a full day of skiing. My allergy wasn't bothered at all and I was amazed that the wool was not scratchy at all. I love this product and highly recommend it!

In my opinion this would be a step up from Smartwool and definitely from TNF (again, my opinion). And yes, this is a midweight. It's warm for layering and for cold/cold weather activities. If it's a little warmer go down, if it's colder or you're less active, go up to the 300's and 400's.

Great Layer

By:
January 16, 2009

Use this top with the 260 bottom's and makes a great layer. Went snowshoeing in 10-20degF weather with a brisk wind and all I was more than warm with these and a wind shell on. It's soft and even after a long day of working was still fresh. Worth the price, fit is true. Remember, you can wash it but don't dry it! It is wool after all...

magic shirt

By:
March 10, 2009

I call these magic shirts. With one on, I am comfortable from below zero up to 50 degrees. I wore my first one every day from November until April, rarely washing it, and it still didn't smell at all, while cutting firewood and sweating all of the time. It lasted five years like that, and I still use it, although it has holes in it now. I just got back from a European trip, where I wore the shirt and the equivalent long johns. After 3 weeks, wearing the same set day and night, I got to take a shower. I didn't have any clean ones to get into, and it was too cold to go without. I took one whiff of them and declared them clean enough to wear. Magic by any definition.

in between baselayer and midlayer

By:
February 11, 2009

This top fits somewhere between a skintight baselayer and a tight midlayer shirt. You could wear this around town probably as a shirt, especially if you sized up. If you are looking for a body hugging layer, this is not it. In fact, my only criticism is that the cuffs are fairly loose, looser than a long sleeved t-shirt. This is fine if you think of it as a midlayer I guess, as long as the sleeves aren't too long for you, otherwise you'd have to roll them up. Those with thick wrists or long arms may not have this problem. Anyone know how icebreak intended this shirt to be used?

Fantastic

By:
November 29, 2008

I have several icebreaker shirts (t-shirts, sweaters, zip necks, etc.), but this was the first long sleeve tee I bought and I couldn't be happier. I like it so much I had to buy another and now they are nearly all I wear around the house and out about doing stuff. So comfortable. Perfect weight for the winter months. Right on for running in cool weather. Sleeve length is great (I wear a 16 35 dress shirt, so I need long arms and the XL is perfect). Highly recommend it if you can afford it.

Nice, but delicate

By:
March 5, 2009

This is very warm and comfortable. As other reviewers said, it doesn't stink after consecutive days of wear.

But mine developed a hole in the sleeve after only a month. If you don't have a front loading washing machine, I would wash this on the delicate cycle, making sure nothing else in the machine has zippers or something on which the shirt can snag.

Backcountry.com took care of me with their customer service and return policy. Thanks!

Hi there, both M and L are pretty much same body and sleeve lenght, major diff is in chest. If you wear other gear in L in chest, stick to L in Icebreaker. Same for M sizes.---------------I'll include that if you go with any of the layers that refer to being "Slim Fit" you can size up to get extra length in the sleeves and torso without creating any loose material width wise. I normally wear a L in icebreaker (6'1" 190) and have the Oasis Crew 200 in an XL and it is just fine and gives plenty of sleeve and torso.

Icebreaker BodyFit 260 Crew

By:
April 2, 2009

Conforms more closely to the body than Patagonia Wool-2 but is slightly softer and heavier. It is perfect for runs in temps between 30-40 with a sheer Brooks windbreaker. I didn't think anyone could replace Patagonia, but I love this product and definitely recommend it to others for aerobic activity in cold weather.

I got this shit to wear over the BodyFit 200 short sleeve crew which worked perfectly. The 200 crew is much more form fitting while BodyFit 260 as others have noted has a looser fit. This combination worked great. I then layered a Patagonia R2 fleece and my Artercyx shell and life was good!
