Icebreaker · Upper mid · About 6 oz

A merino shirt for trips where you will wear the same layer for days.

As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure

Merino is not magic. It dries slower than polyester and it costs more. It is the right buy if you refuse to rinse a shirt and you run cool. Size it so the hip belt does not ride the hem into a wedge.

Who should buy it. Hikers who hate synthetic smell.

Best for. Multi-day wear when odor matters

Standout limitation. Dries slower and costs more
