Like all merino wool garments, my first one of these developed little holes- lots of little holes. I did have it for over 2 years, so not a bad run. And I washed it in the machine despite all merino fabric care tips. So picked up another one while it was on sale for $35. Mostly use it on cooler nights for sleeping in or just wearing around the house in the winter- it became my favorite indoors merino top. I prefer to use heavier weight merino (250g) tops for hiking, biking and traveling.
The cut is form fitting and it is initially very snug, but stretches out quickly (even too much perhaps) as it is 100% merino with no synthetic fibers added. Love the zipper too- don't get the suffocating feeling when tossing and turning in bed as with crew-neck tops. And love the extra ventilation it provides.
Is it worth $80 ? Probably not, but if you score one on sale, get two :)
