Icebreaker Argon 150 Base Layer Top - Merino Wool, Long Sleeve (For Men)

I bought one last year and have worn it so much I decided to purchase another one at STP because of the Sale price. I wear it for travel, sleepwear, alone in warm weather and mostly as a baselayer for my outdoor pursuits.

Icebreaker always provides light weight warm and washable gear that's fantastic for travel

Having a couple great fitting Icebreaker t-shirts, I was disappointed by the odd shoulders and short arm length of the Argon 150 shirt. I returned it and stuck with the Patagonia Wool 3 instead.

I contacted Ice Breakers, and they said it was likely the spandex I was feeling, and that their pure merino wool clothes do not feel this way. Had to return it.

Unlike other long sleeve, lightweight (150 weight or lower), Icebreaker shirts, the Argon base layer does away with the irritating Icebreaker logo that adorns the left breast area on other products. The problem with the embroidered logo is that during any kind of running or hiking activity the logo functions like a cheese grater--with your nipple being the proverbial cheese in this case. With the logo gone, the shirt does its thing unimpeded: it keeps you warm when its cold because the wool retains heat fairly well even when wet and it keeps you cool when its hot thanks to the lightweight weave. It also reduces the stench that develops from synthetics.
