Primary use is high-output downhill skiing and hiking/snowshoeing. Wicks super well, better than my synthetic base layers...I really notice the lack of sweat against my skin. The lighter "breathing panels" are great, especially on the back that otherwise gets sweaty under a pack. It seems plenty warm even with the breathing panels. Only minor drawback is it doesn't have that super smooth slinky feeling against the skin that some synthetic layers have, but that's not enough to knock it down a star. Fit in body is barely on the snug side, which I prefer for better wicking. Sleeves and body plenty long.Great product from a company that does sustainability right.

Overall really good baselayer for active-use in this case skiing. I felt it was lightweight and great to move in. I also found the sizing and fit to be more snug than the regular 260 long sleeve crew baselayer. My chest size is a true 36" and find the regular 260 in S a little too loose but the BodyFitZone 260 in S fits just right.My only gripe with the product are the thumbholes. I personally don't love them and because the sleeves are so long on me, it's too much sleeve fabric if I don't use them. I would've preferred a version of this without the thumb holes as my jacket already has them.

I bought this shirt about 5 years ago and wouldn't recommend it. The regular Icebreaker fabric on the front is still in great shape (like all my other Icebreaker products), but the thinner, more "breathable" BodyFit Zone fabric is falling apart under one of the armpits and it started happening after a couple years of use. I contacted Icebreaker about this and they said they do not replace wear and tear due to regular use. Unless the BodyFit Zone fabric has been updated and improved since my purchase, I would say this fabric seems to be far less durable than Icebreaker's normal stuff (which is extremely durable in my experience). I think Icebreaker is charging more for these more "technical" tops but actually they are less fabric - half your shirt is made of a thin, ...

There is no doubt whatsoever that merino warms and wicks better than any man-made fabric - I love merino and I love icebreaker merino best - so for layering the only question is which make and weight of merino to use.I have tried all weights and have favourite set ups for differing conditions but overall the 260 is my most worn by far.I would argue (from experience) that having mixed weights on one garment does not actually give an advantage; though the theory looks great on paper it is not more effective in practice than having a single weight over the whole garment, in fact less so.I bought two of these to replace my previous (and worn out from LOTS of wear) 260 tops, however I still prefer the previous version because: A -not having the same thickness (aka ...

This is my favorite winter shirt. The fit is great, not least the long sleeves which cover my wrists. This is my favorite part, because I have long arms most shirts stop above my wrist bone. Covering the wrist makes it much warmer and more comfortable. The seams are in the right places, super comfy and practical. Great weight, I literally wear every day. I now have 3. I love the dark blue color. I'm 5'6" 120 lbs slender build, M fits perfectly.
All the products that I purchased I'm very satisfied it keeps me warm and the most important of all is very comfortable. Besides the comfort that I experienced my friends and strangers made comments about my top outfit. Sometimes ladies will stop me and asked what brand and how much? I suggested if you're cold like me during winter time it's a good idea to invest on quality product like Icebreaker's products.My favorite product is the insulated hoodies, I wish you guys make additional colors for ladies that like dark Pink. Pink is my favorite colors and lots of my ladies friends loves pink. Keep up the good work. Regards Vi
Years ago I stumbled upon icebreakers accidentally on a discount site. This was long before they were a household name for those who were inclined towards the outdoors and long before I knew how amazing they were in comparison to anything else on the market. Since then, in utter desperation to not spend over $100 on any under garment, no matter how insulting it is, I have tried to find an equivalent product.I never have.This year I finally caved and bought an icebreaker under layer.....and it's been worth every penny.I do feel a bit foolish, but at least now I'm warm and foolish.
Love Icebreaker stuff. Nice and soft and not bulky. This 1/2 zip is tight fitting base layer, but I don't really like things too tight, and want to be able to wear something light under it. This is perfect for not too cold days when I need something a bit warmer that a t-shirt but not a toasty warm thick hoodie. I ordered a size larger, and it is perfect for me. Surprisingly warm for being quite thin. Love it and want more like it in other colours.
Hot dang this base layer is awesome. It fits me really well (6'4"/6'5", 175lbs).I use it primarily for skiing (the western US like Utah/Colorado) and bought it for the 2020 season (first time I bought a season pass) with the determination that I would be comfortable skiing as all my previous experience had been in subpar gear on the east coast or at night... growing up in Alabama did not teach me how to layer or give me reason to own good gear for layering. The thumb holes rock because they help prevent wrist gaping/exposure to the cold and provides extra warmth to the hands!*disclaimer: my body runs pretty hotMost of the time it keeps me so warm and dry that I just wear the base layer, my bibs, and my shell (half the time I don't not even fully zip my shell) and ...

Unless it was unusually cold, windy, or night time I never needed a mid layer otherwise I felt like I was going to burning to death. To help combat this I've ordered the lightweight layer for those ~warm~ sunny days.P.s. imo if you're new to skiing and picking up gear do yourself a favor and get mitts, hand, and toe warmers. Mitts are the superior form of maintaining warm hands whilst skiing and then the warmers for your extremities help even more!
I'm not one to waste my time reviewing items online but I hope this may be helpful for others. I've always been skeptic on purchasing items so expensive, but I got this with a great sale on Black Friday on top of a birthday coupon. This item is definetely one of the most expensive in my wardrobe and I love every fiber of it. I've been using it for my daily hiking at temperatures around zero degrees. If I hike fast enough I'll sweat but this top makes me warm despite the cold temperature and I can see my body breathe better. I was even more skeptic when I saw the back has a very thin layer but boy, it is so helpful for regulating body temperature when exercising in the cold weather. I would recommend this if you plan on sweating at cold temperatures, such as -5 to ... MoreI'm not one to waste my time reviewing items online but I hope this may be helpful for others.

I was even more skeptic when I saw the back has a very thin layer but boy, it is so helpful for regulating body temperature when exercising in the cold weather. I would recommend this if you plan on sweating at cold temperatures, such as -5 to about 5C. It is actually super warm so for temperatures above 5C, you may want to use a thinner piece of clothing. Haven't tried at below -5C yet, but I suspect it would be great with an extra layer on top. It does get wet though, so for longer day hikes I do switch into another dry thermal layer to keep warm on the way down. Lastly, I'm always a medium, but bought a large because I don't like the hugging feeling of tight clothing and it fits perfectly.
