Icebreaker Skin Oasis Crew - Men's



Icebreaker Oasis Crew
I bought a Icebreaker Wingzip on a trip to Oz a few years back. Though it cost me nearly as much as my belay jacket, I have been VERY thankful I got it. I broke down and bought an Oasis Crew and another Wingzip this year. The Oasis seems even softer than the heavier shirt, yet gives a lot of warmth for the weight. The hype about wool not stinking is so true, and this quality is wonderful!


Wool in the hot summer
Who would have thought that one could wear wool in the heat of the summer and be comfortable? I used this merino wool top on a 4-day excursion into the eastern High Sierras above 10,000 feet. The sun was warm and the air temp was in the mid 80's even at altitude, but this top kept me comfortable, absorbed the sweat and was relatively sun protective. What really impressed me was that I did not stink after wearing this top day and night for 4 days. A further benefit occurred each time I hit a pass and wind picked up. I would don my Patagonia Dragonfly Windshirt, and, between the Oasis top and the windshirt, I was able to stay warm and avoid the wind chill factor. I am sold on wearing wool even in the summer, especially in the Sierras.


classy all-purpose crew
I've worn this crew on Southern California desert hikes, in the gym, as a night shirt, around town, and as a base layer downhill skiing in Colorado. It feels great, dries almost as fast as poly, and stays odor-free. The ingenious sewing pattern completely avoids any under-arm seams, so there's no chance of chafing.


the best baselayer for running a mountain high in a cold season
I was looking for the underwear besides of Patagonia. I felt the cold while wearing Patagonia, which was always damp with sweat when I stood on a peak while trail running. However, after wearing IceBreaker, I did not feel such cold once. It is a fiber which has not shrunk even if it washes violently with a washing machine. The form fits the body very much. It is the best for running a mountain in a cold season.


awesome base layer
Got this to replace my old worn out Royal Robbins base layer. This shirt is awesome at regulating temperature, and wicking away moisture. The no stink quality is also great - great value and worth the purchase for sure!
