If you don't mind showing off your pipes a bit you'll love this shirt. It fits a bit more snug in the arms than I was expecting, but I got used to it. I always wear a size large in Icebreaker, and this shirt fit a bit more snug than my others. But, the XL would have been too big. I don't think I would wear it out to the pub, but it is a great trail running shirt. The material is not as soft as the 200 weight, but it feels more "smooth" and is nice on the skin. Icebreaker could have added another inch to the body length to fit me perfectly, but I've got a long back. I would definitely get another Bodyfit150, but probably a long sleeve for those warm, longer days in the mountains when I don't want to get sun burnt. Overall a great shirt that you should expect to fit a bit tighter than most. Stay with your normal sizing.

This shirt is awesome! I guess that is why I now own three of them in different colours. I'm 6'1", 188 lbs and the large fits great. It has slightly longer sleeves and body than most of my shirts, so someone who is 6'2" and around 190 lbs could easily get away wearing the large. There is no shrinkage with washing as long as you hang dry. It does fit snug against the skin, which works great for a wicking layer. This shirt is surprisingly warm when needed, and doesn't seem too hot when the weather warms up. The merino feels very soft. There are no seams under the armpit which is great for runners. Go buy this shirt!

This shirt seems to be tailored for a relaxed fit. It doesn't fit nearly as tight at the Bodyfit 200 shirt. It doesn't fit baggy, but it doesn't hug the body like a shirt that would be used as a base/wicking layer would. It is still very comfortable. Materials are top notch and like all Icebreakers won't get stinky with prolonged use without washing. It is not my first choice for a backpacking trip (but not a bad choice if it is your only Icebreaker), but I wear it more casually around the city.

I've now had a chance to take this tent out into the Canadian Rocky Mountains for a short weekend trip. We had wicked winds during the night (gusts around 50khr) - the tent was bomber with all guy lines out. This fly seemed to fit nicely( compaired to my first haven 3), and it didn't rattle much at all in the wind. In the morning there was very little, if any condensation on the fly, and none in the tent. Also, there are 3 large storage pockets in the tent that fit ample articles of clothes and stuff sacks, making me wonder if the gear loft we got was unnecessary. The footprint fits out beyond the main tent door body - a nice design considering the vestibule covers it entirely and it gives you a bit of ground coverage for your feet while you put on your shoes, or a place you can store small articles outside your tent wilthout getting them onto soft/muddy ground. This tent has tonnes of room for 2 adults and a 60lbs dog, and is truley a tent that 3 people could sleep in without too much complaining. The zippers are silky smooth and the tent is a breeze to set up. We are happy with our purchase, even though this tent is not inexpensive. The small issues I have with this tent that are expressed in my first review are still relevent.

I purchased this tent for a light, 2 person plus black lab backpacking tent. On initial set up, the front vestibule zipper cover ripped where it meets the tent. I think it might have been short stitched. Upon second tent I noticed that there was a bit less tension at the original damage point, and I think it should last okay. The fly is a very light, silicon inpregnated material. I've got a tarp that is made of the exact fabric and has seen much abuse without damage, so the fly should be okay. It is a nicely designed tent, but there are a few small potential issues that only time will tell if it will be a problem: the small fly pole might cause excessive rubbing/wear on fly; the fly seams do not line up exactly with the poles which can cause slight sagging; for the price, more tent pegs should be supplied. Overall, this tent looks good, not amazing. But, I'll keep it for now.
