Smartwool vs. Icebreaker is pretty much even on a piece like this (baselayer). Both are best-in-class New Zealand Merino with great fit and attention to detail. Shrinkage depends on how you wash. If you wash and dry with the rest of your clothes, which I do, you can expect 5-10% shrinkage. If you treat it carefully, gentle cold water wash and air-dry, there is almost no shrinkage.
