Comfort and Performance

By Matt Deen Ranked #241 - Men's Performance Shirts - Short Sleeve September 18, 2011

I'll admit...this shirt is my first piece of merino. Historically, I've just worn synthetic material t-shirts due to the high cost of merino. However, I saw this shirt on sale and decided to take the plunge. For my initial test, I wore it for 3 straight days backpacking in Alaska. I was worried that it would be itchy against my skin, but I never noticed it was on, which I thought was a big compliment. I found it to be super comfortable and not itchy. It layered perfectly under my Patagonia Capilene 3 zip-neck baselayer, which also has an athletic cut. Other t-shirts tend to bunch underneath the Cap 3, but this one was perfectly smooth underneath. Beware...the fit is very athletic so it's not super flattering for those of us with beer guts. Notwithstanding, I'm looking forward to buying more merino from Stoic.
