Description of Stoic Merino Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's:
Forget your fears about itchy wool—the Stoic Merino Crew Shirt is a whole different beast. Employing 17.5-micron Merino wool from New Zealand, the Merino Crew Shirt ensures comfortable, dry days whether you're out for a mid-January dawn patrol or an autumn ride down the single track. Merino transfers moisture while your sweat is in its primary vapor form, so unlike most synthetic fabrics the Merino Crew Shirt begins to pull moisture away from your body before your shirt becomes saturated. And since wet usually means cold in the backcountry, warm Merino is the way to go. The athletically-fitted Merino Crew Shirt feels great against the skin so you can wear it during your ride and then to the pub, and your post-ride car mates will thank the powers that be for Merino's natural odor-shunning properties. A reflective logo hit on the Merino Crew's front neckline ensures a little more safety during your evening runs, and the thumbholes at the cuffs take the bunch out of layering.

Bottom Line: Wicks moisture better and smells better than polypro.
Got two of these on SAC too for half the price. I'm 6'3" and weight 172lbs: M fits perfectly.
They are very comfortable, long sleeves with nice thumb holes, good length looks awesome.
I am definitely going to use them for snowboarding and climbing this winter. Merino wool is the bomb and keep your nasty smells away from your peers :)
I love my Stoic Merino Crew Shirt - it's crazy soft and fits me perfectly in a M at 5'11" and 175 lbs. I've had it out a bit and it does everything a merino baselayer should (wicks vapor and doesn't stink).
Bought this for my bf who works outside in freezing temps and wind. He loves the softness and the warmth and the ease of layering. We'll use it backpacking too - he wants me to order him some more! Great buy - fits true to size for him.
