Overall:

I'm new to the Icebreaker brand and have become an instant fan. I purchased these leggings a few weeks, ago the fit is great, they are very warm and not bulky underclothing. I also bought the top to match. I would buy this item again. I gave 4 stars for rating only because they were a little itchy while on the body, but I'm very sensitive to some fibers and was not sure if this is why I had a slight reaction. But this may not happen to you so don't be afraid to purchase this item, it could just be my allergies kicking in.

Nice, but a little low cut. This doesn't appear to be the case in the picture, but the front is pretty low cut for a wool top. Otherwise, love the material: drapes well and very fine wool. Edges/Trim are finished well and generally excellent quality. If not for the low neckline, would be perfect.

I was really skeptical about spending this much on a base layer shirt, but it's turned out to be a great choice. I've worn it on a couple of long day hikes and one backpacking trip. It doesn't dry quite as quickly as some of the synthetics I've worn, but it also insulates much better when wet. One hike gained about 4200 feet in a little over six miles. When I took off my pack to rest my back was soaked but I didn't have to break out the fleece to keep from getting chilled, even though the temp had dropped about 15 degrees into the upper fifties. I'm also sold on the "no stink" side of the icebreaker. I normally wouldn't go into a restaurant after a hike due to the polypro/fleece stink factor. I can get away with it in this stuff. 5'7" 160 lbs with a 42" chest and the large fits me well.

Overall:

Wonderful piece for winter. Lightweight, but warm. Icebreaker does run a little small if you don\'t intend to strictly wear it as a tight fitting base layer so I would typically wear a large (I\'m a size 10) but ordered an XL so I could wear it by itself.

These are great for traveling or camping, as you can wear them for a few days in a row without smelliness. (That is not as gross as you think.) The fit, however, is a little loose around the leg bands. A general feeling of 'cheek leak' can ensue.

Icebreaker is the best product on the market. Very good. Natural wool fiber is very good regardless of the climate.

Overall:

I purchased this shirt as a larger sized version of another Icebreaker short-sleeved shirt that my husband owns. The advertising on this shirt is absolutely true. My husband uses this Icebreaker style as a base layer when the weather promises to warm up during the day, and as a base layer for more formal shirts to keep those shirts clean and odor-free, in lieu of a regular undershirt. It does not itch, like other wool products. Styling is semi-fitted, not compression. The Icebreaker shirt does wick away sweat, dries in fewer than 15 minutes while being worn and remains pretty much odor-free for about a week. NO other shirt by any other manufacturer remains odor-free when worn by my husband, so that's saying a lot! When I can detect an odor (remember, about a week), I tear the shirt away from my husband's clutches and throw it in the washing machine (yes, it does say to hand wash) and wash it with other clothes using cold water to wash, cold water to rinse. (I use Tide with Bleach Alternative, Color-Safe, Original Scent, HE.) If we're on a trip, I wash the shirt in a sink and use the soap that the motel/hotel supplies. To dry from the washer, I just put it on a plastic hanger, after snapping the shirt a couple of times to remove wrinkles. From the sink, I twist out the water, wrap it in a towel, roll up the towel and twist the towel. Then I hang the shirt up on a hanger. In both instances, it will be dry in the morning, if there's any kind of air circulation in the room. The shirts are pricier than the synthetic fabrics that claim to wick and dry quickly and not retain odors. The Icebreaker shirt actually delivers on those promises. I'm looking for a good Icebreaker shirt for myself.

Great dress! It fits true to size and is super soft. It is really thin though. I'll have a wear a slip under it.

New favorite!I love this shirt. It goes from work to backpacking effortlessly! I've worn it for days in the backcountry, and it still smells fine upon returning home. I already have purchased one in another color. Size XS fits great for me--I'm 5'3" and 112 lbs. Hugs your curves in all the right places. I'm hoping Zappos will increase the number of products they sell from the Icebreaker line--great company!

Great little dress for work. The material is a bit woolly but thin enough to keep cool. Very flattering. I haven't worn it enough to see any dreaded "pills" forming.

Overall: I bought black. I really like this top and it came in very useful on my trip to Europe where I liked it so much I wore it every day for 1 1/2 weeks even though I had other clean tops to wear. If it was warm out, I'd wear it alone. If it wasn't I'd wear it as a base layer to keep my core warm. Pros: Versatile, looks good, high scoop neck protects chest from sunburning, does not hold on to body odor. Cons: To me it was ever-so itchy, but I stopped noticing that pretty fast. The tag is annoying. It should be tag-less. Also, it has a subtle icebreaker icon, and I'd rather it didn't.

Overall:

I fish the gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands. Our boat typically will make 40 day trips. I bought this particular shirt because I thought it would be fun to test Icebreaker’s claim that the shirt would go 60 days w/o getting smelly. Our first trip lasted 30 days with a turn around of 2 days in Adak. I washed all my clothes except the above shirt which I wore every day. My Gunden’s fleece pants stank bad. I wore those every day as well. So far so good on the shirt. 20 days or so into the next trip we decided to run into Adak again to replenish our water and grab some bait herring. At this point there was still no detectable odor coming from my shirt which I continued to wear daily. My poly propelene clothing though was getting fairly rank. I washed everything. I wished I hadn’t washed the merino wool shirt. After 50+ days, it had gotten so comfortable. It never did develop an odor even though the sleeves had gotten stiff with salt and fish slime. I love this product. Refrain from washing.

Very cute dress and washes relatively well - a tad bit wrinkly but it drapes nicely so you can get away without ironing. This is perfect for travel - can be casual (without belt) or more dressy. With or without a sweater it's cute.

This shirt has a nice style and is machine washable and true to size. The only reason I give it a four star is that it comes out a bit wrinkly from the wash. I've got some Smartwool products which come out looking a little better.

Overall:

One of the most versatile pieces of clothing I own. Indestructible, this piece of clothing is a must on every trip I take. I wear it under blazers or sweaters for work, as a base layer when I ski, to the gym for workouts and on the trail summer and winter. Keeps me warm in cold weather and breathes beautifully when it's sweltering outside. I even wear this tank rock climbing. It launders well (even in a sink), never retains body odor, even after a heavy workout or full day climbing. I have actually just ordered 2 more so I'm not washing the thing 3 times a week!

Perfect layer - Soft, warm, and pretty - it's the perfect top layer on a cool spring day, or under for a day in the snow. I've worn it at least a dozen days since it arrived just a few weeks ago.

Love this top!I learned about Icebreaker while traveling to New Zealand last year. I purchased a long sleeve crew top there and have loved it. I was so happy to see that Zappos has Icebreaker now. Just love the fit and cut of this t-shirt. Love the style. Dressy enough to wear under a suit or with jeans. Easy wash and wearability. Use cool water and a mild soap and hang to dry. I love wool and wear it a lot and this fabric is designed to be able to wear year round. Thank you Zappos!

Overall:

Be careful about sizing - From year to year, the sizing of Icebreaker basics is not entirely consistent. I have a pair of 260 leggings size S from years ago that are significantly smaller than a recently purchased pair of size S 260 leggings. Given this size change, I decided to buy the 200 leggings in XS. They were really tight! (I'm 5'4", 118 lb) I'm still happy with them though. Icebreakers are great.

Love this line of clothing!The Icebreaker line never disappoints: many of their tops feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and I am talking about the same garment! This particular top is thicker and therefore more suited to winter wear, awesome for cold weather running and biking. I love the merino wool fabric that is Icebreaker's trademark: it is soft and comfortable to wear, machine washable, fits great and does not absorb smells. In my opinion, it is well worth the extra cost over synthetic technical clothing.

And they said it wasn't made! I have visited our local outdoor-sporting store and surfed the Icebreaker homepage many times over the past two years looking for a long sleeve, white Icebreaker shirt with which to layer. Everyone I asked told me that Icebreaker did not make a long sleeve white layering piece. Not surprised, but nonetheless delighted, I found it on the Zappos website. The v-neck makes this piece perfect for layering and for wearing alone. The Icebreaker wool is not itchy, doesn't hold body "scents", and is an excellent layering piece for both warmth and comfort! I like it so much that I bought one in black also.

Jacket Review - Overall I am happy with this jacket. The look is stylish and cool while maintaining a refined effect. Surprisingly the wool in the shoulders feels stretchy which is good because the shoulders are nicely fitted, at least for me. The lining is comfortable and the workmanship seems excellent. The only issue I have with the jacket is the fit of the body. For me it could be a bit tighter around the middle. I have an average build. 6 ft 190 pounds with a 34 in waist. I ordered an XL which fits everywhere, but is a bit loose around the middle. Otherwise it is a great all around jacket and I am happy with it. I would buy it again.

Great Shirt!Very lightweight. Absorbs perspiration into the lightweight wool and evaporates. Does not retain a "sweaty" odor. Much, much better than all of the expensive synthetic Dry-Fit and Accu-dry shirts I have.
