Description of Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's:
Give in to the supple touch your skin craves when you pull on the Backcountry.com Men’s Merino Crew Shirt. Feel the caress of ridiculously soft 17.5-micron New Zealand merino wool and try not to sigh out loud—lest your buddies hear you and mock you accordingly. A master at managing moisture, merino wool pulls sweat away from your skin and dries quickly so that energy-sapping clamminess never has a chance. This Backcountry.com crew’s natural antimicrobial properties block funky odors while flatlock seams prevent chafing when you’re on the move.
Bottom Line: The Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt lets you show your love for the goat—without getting arrested.
These shirts are the bomb: Lightweight, contain the odor, stretchy, athletic fit, and nice goat logo again, hehe.
I got a pair of these about a month ago and use them any time I go climbing indoor or outdoor. They are so light I feel like I am climbing shirtless.
Sizingwise, I am 6'3" and weight 170lbs so athletic built. So I got the medium size and it's perfect. I am so happy I didn't get the large like some people mentioned in the reviews, it would have been way too loose/big for me. I agree it is a bit tight at the armpits, but I don't feel it anymore so I don't know if it is because they stretch a bit or because I just got used to it. But it doesn't bother me at all.
This shirt was somewhat of an impulse buy. Wasn't looking for it but the reviews convinced me my husband would like it. He is pretty much obsessed with it now, and frankly so am I. He's 180 lbs., 5'11 with broad shoulders and wears a large, which is what I got him. It's a tighter fit than his usual workout/ outdoors shirts, especially in the sleeves, but consequently, he looks super HOT in it. He wore the shirt on a 4-day backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains and it was perfect the whole time (not sure how it doesn't stink after that... pretty amazing). Just got it for him in red and haven't seen it yet but glad he'll have more than one to rotate on our next trip. Would love to see more colors (esp. black). Ladies... add to cart!
Backcountry.com needs to restock these shirts, it is my new favorite t-shirt. The cut is perfect, snug without looking like spandex and has a nice drop in the back. Yeah, the armpits are a little higher than normal, but they are not uncomfortable at all. 6'3", 200lbs and the XL is great. The XXL would probably fit as well.
