Bought this as a base-layer for my winter cycling.  The shirt is very soft and has held it's size and shape well through the first couple of washes.  The shirt fits well yet allows a full range of motion.  Can wear it for several days on end and still not odor.  Much better in this aspect than my other technical gear.  Retains warmth even when wet, a plus also.  The shirt retains heat very well and has allowed me to stop using my normal fleece mid-layer on days with temperatures down into the teens. I should note also that this is the first wool product I have owned that I can actually wear without being driven nuts by the itching.
