I love this shirt! I have been reading a lot about merino wool lately and wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype but decided to take a chance anyway. I'm so glad I did! Merino wool is my new favorite fabric. I'm not sure that it feels like cashmere, exactly, but it's way softer and more breathable than cotton, and hides sweat better, too. I have worn it in New England as a warm base layer and in the South as a wicking outer layer and found it exceedingly comfortable in both climates. This item is a good value and almost identical to my mom's more expensive Icebreaker merino wool T-shirt. I definitely recommend this shirt and will be buying again in various colors!
