So, been looking for shirts to wear for both running and backpacking. I'm tired of having to wash 5+ shirts a week because after one run they smell so bad that it's hard to wear them a second day. My UA shirts have a max of two runs in them before they can stand up and walk to the hamper on their own stick alone. So, I bought one of these bad boys, and put it to the test. Went on a 3 mile hike, sunny, 55-60, followed by several hours of yard work. Next day, 5 mile run, and 1 hour at the gym. So today, grabbed the Elite Superfine GT, expecting quite a funk, and nothing! Absolutely no smell! Another 5 mile run today, and still stink free! Just ordered 4 more icebreaker shirts! Well worth the money. Can't wait to take them on my next backpacking trip.

I run with this shirt in SLC, UT in 90+ degree heat. The shirt breathes great, and drys quick. This shirt is worth the money.

This shirt isn't what I was expecting. First off minus one star for backcountry for not clearly stating this is a "slim-fit" shirt. I realize it says it in the description after re-reading it, but it is pretty subtle. I'd recommend they put it into the size/colour drop down selector. The slim fit XL works great for people with pencil arms (I gave this to my brother who doesn't work out), but the shirt is a bit tight for myself - I'm 5'8" 190lbs, but work out and have more of a football player build than triathlete build.

Minus another star for Icebreaker. GT and their eyelets are more accurately described as little holes in the back of the shirt. The fabric is quite beautiful on the front, but the back looks literally quite cheesy due to the GT holes.
