Backcountry.com Merino Zip Tee - Long-Sleeve - Men's

great fit, funny smell

By Ranked #480 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops June 17, 2009

The tailoring on the shirt is great for an athletic build. I'm 6' 170lbs and the medium fits snug like a base layer should. The longer sleeves are a welcome relief during activities like skiing and hiking compared to 'standard' long sleeves which tend to ride up the forearms. My only complaint was the unexpected "wet sheep" smell that comes about when the shirt gets wet. The smell faded after some washing, but was a bit of a turn off.

You have to admit a bit of wet dog/sheep smell when soaked is far offset by the lack of dude funk after strenuous activity.
