Icebreaker Bodyfit Tech Top - Men's

 Brand : Icebreaker
Item : ICE0033
The Icebreaker Men's Tech Top represents a recent movement away from synthetics and back to natural fibers with a super high quality New Zealand Merino. The Tech Top has a 3-way neck (zipped and up to your chin, zipped and rolled like a t-neck, or open for venting) for versatility, and thumb loops to keep the sleeves where they belong during the most strenuous activities. Merino has some incredible advantages over synthetic fabrics: it keeps its heat-retaining properties when wet, prevents body odor build-up better than any chemical treatment, offers expedition-weight warmth at half the bulk, and rivals many synthetics in breathability. Its natural 4-way stretch sticks with you through every move. Use the Icebreaker Tech Top as a base layer when skiing or as a shirt for cool fall and spring activities. Make no mistake, Merino is not the wool you know—while it has wool's incredible heat-retaining qualities and breathability, it lacks that trademark scratchiness and discomfort.

Icebreaker Bodyfit Tech Top - Men's



Excellent winter baselayer
I have transitioned to merino wool the past few years, and this Body Tech Top from Icebreaker is a critical base layer for cold weather. The high adjustable top is perfect for the cold, windy days and if it gets warm you just unzip and open 'er up. The wicking is excellent and if you get a little 'damp', the wool protects you with this miracle natural fiber. One suggestion: they should move to flat seams! At this price level, I don't understand why they do not. This is my second Body Tech Top and well worth the dollars! Double thumbs up recommendation!


icebreaker tech top
I bought the Icebreaker Tech Top for myself this past year. It’s very expensive. I want to think its worth it but I haven’t owned it for long enough. I can say that it works as described in that it hides stenches. For example, I usually stink after exercising, but I wore the shirt three times running then wore it on an overnight camping trip and it never stank at all. It was also definitely warm. So, if you want to splurge, it is worth it. If not, save up for it.


Excellent Wool Products
This Icebreaker top is excellent — warm when wet, relatively durable, low body odor (even after several days), and comfortable. One of the best products on the market.


Best Piece of Base Layer I Have
I made the switch to merino wool base layers last year, and I'll never go back to synthetics. I use this top for everything from skiing (with only a shell on top) to bicycling (under a short-sleeve cycling jersey) to climbing (with and without a shell). I don't notice that it wicks any better than synthetics because, with me, I sweat so much, I overwhelm the wicking capabilities of any garment. The difference, though, is that I can stay warm with just the base layer on, even when I'm drenched in sweat. And the thumb loopholes help with sliding on additional layers over the top, as well as providing additional coverage on the back of your hand. All this with no Capilene funk!!


Icebreaker MW zip
After using this for ~ 2 weeks backcountry skiing, I have been quite impressed at its performance. I find it to be a little itchy while sweating (especially between my back and ski pack), though sweat also does not seem to feel as "clammy" with wool vs my other synthetic baselayers. It regulates body temperature much better than my Capilene mid-weights, and is much more enjoyable to wear around the house than synthetics as well. I initially had reservations about using wool baselayers, though this piece has convinced me otherwise.
