Description of Icebreaker LTD320 Coronet Sport Top - Long-Sleeve - Men's:
Ski hard and play harder in the urban-inspired Icebreaker Men's LTD320 Coronet Top. The Sport Top's 320 merino wool keeps you warm in the pow but won't stink for the après ski party. Icebreaker added flair to its philosophy by including an enhanced collar and alpine-inspired thumb holes. Once you slip on the New Zealand wool, you'll wonder how you ever got by with synthetic layers. It is the Coronet's hip, retro style, however, that will make it a pullover you'll wear well beyond the mountain.
Bottom Line: Stay warm and play hard in the Icebreaker 100% merino Coronet Top.
This is one of the heavier Merino layers that Icebreaker do. I would say that while it is of very high quality, I find that I hardly ever use it as it is too damn warm ! The thinner options are more useful in my opinion. No, it does not itch, Yes, it will last as the quality is high and no, you will not stink after a hard day sweating. Merino is the way to go but consider your needs carefully before buying a piece this heavy.
This is one of the most versatile sweaters you will ever buy. I just got back from a long weekend in San Fran and I wore this thing nearly every day. It worked for bike riding in the early morning cold, walking around town in the rain, and going out to dinner at night - and it never smells from sweat. I own two of these and can't recommend them enought. They are very pricey, but well worth the $$. I really think owning a 320 weight long sleeve, 190 weight long sleeve and a couple ultra light tees give you every combination of layering you need for camping in three seasons.
As with all icebreaker stuff, this is great. Sizing seems about the same as their other stuff, and pretty similar to most other stuff too. (I'm 6'1" and 200lbs, fit XL with a little extra room or L fairly snug). Take note if you're looking at the color "ink" - It has stripes on the sleeves like the others, and they are green and a shade of slightly lighter blue. You can't see the green ones in the photos.
