Does anyone have any experience skiing in the Icebreaker BodyFit 200 Mondo? How do they hold up? I used an I/O Bio last winter and an Arc'teryx Phase AR. The I/O Bio was undoubtedly more comfortable but the bottom started to develop a hole after skiing in it twice - seriously? Of course the Arc'teryx Phase AR, a synthetic, was super-durable, warm, comfortable but not exactly like the merino. I think I'm leaning towards the Arc'teryx Phase AR or maybe the Arc'teryx Rho LTW. Thoughts?

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the durability of Icebreaker. If you develop holes with in the first year (and it is due to a fabric problem) you can return the top.

I ski 20+ days a year and have had the Bodyfit 200 crew for 2 years. No problems so far. In fact I'm getting another set of tops and bottoms for week long trips

...then again one Arc'teryx Rho LTW is about $130, this is $68 in black XL, which is 52% the cost of the Arc'teryx - so one could almost buy two of these for one Rho LTW! But the Phase AR is close in price and probably twice as durable, and it's probably 85-95% as comfortable. I hate the idea that I'm dropping $70 knowing it's going to get holes and need repair or to replace it in 1-2 ski season while another option will last 3-4 seasons.
