[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fabric an feel is fantastic. However, the Sphere II version was better than the current Cool-Lite Sphere. The current version is naroower in the neck and noticeably snugger in the sleeves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two of these a while back. I absolutely love them so I bought 2 more. Soft, breathable. I where them on my summer beach hikes on Cape Cod. People think I'm nuts in wool. Doesn't matter!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect shirt for any summer activity/spring ski tour, and still a great fit to take it from the mountains to the town for some food and drinks. Super breathable and great fit that is not too snug. Great selection of colors too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice casual soft base layer. Very thin and lightweight. Nice color and decent price on sale.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shirt. Super soft and light. Great for travel and as a base layer for chili days or evenings. The only gripe is that I bought one of these a year ago, size large. When I bought the most recent one the large was now too tight. So I bought an extra large. Body fit is now great but sleeves are long!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality as always with Icebreaker. I use this shirt for Summer outings to avoid using too much sunscreen, yet keeps me cool enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 previous versions sphere ii long sleeve t shirts that I wear on summer hike. I like them even if their material is not strong enough for hiking trips. one of them have a few small holes after laundry. this version seems to be stronger because material is thicker. another difference is sizing. I need M size in contrast of S size from previous version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing the Merino Blend 125 Cool-Lite™ Sphere Long Sleeve T-Shirt for a while now, and it's easily one of my favorite shirts. It's incredibly soft, lightweight, and breathable, making it perfect for warm-weather hikes, travel, or everyday wear. Why I Love It: Super Comfortable - The Cool-Lite™ fabric feels soft against the skin and never itchy. Breathable & Moisture-Wicking - Keeps me cool, dries quickly, and doesn't get clammy. Odor-Resistant - I've worn it multiple times without washing, and it still smells fresh. Great for travel! Versatile Fit - Looks good on its own or as a base layer. A Couple of Things to Consider: Fabric is lightweight, so be mindful of rough surfaces to avoid snags. A bit pricey, but the quality and performance make it worth it. If you're looking for a high-performance long-sleeve shirt that's lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, this one is a winner. Would definitely buy again!
Carry-on only
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only shirts to pack for long trips for carry-on only travel. Light, wicking, perfect color for work or play and super easy to wash and hang dry between 2-3 days of ware. I'm 6"2, 175lbs, athletic and I like tighter fitting clothing but not skin tight. Med was perfect, large floats a bit more, but doable for really broad shoulders.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I dayhiked around Catoctin Mountain Park a couple weeks ago wearing this with a thin windproof hoodie over it and that kept me happy down to 40° or so. When the sun was up and the wind was down, this shirt by itself did the trick just fine. It's ridiculously soft and breathable. I'm 6'2"/170 and the medium even fits my lanky arms without much difficulty. Big fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for running, I have an athletic build and am 6'2 and the shirt fit perfectly on the arms.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I should have checked the care instructions before purchasing. Washing was straight forward but it can't be machine dried. I'm looking for easy to maintain travel clothes. That means: wearing for multiple days without washing or stinking. Easy to wash, throw in a machine to wash, throw in a machine to dry. When traveling, I don't to hang dry anything. As far as the comfort, fit, and feel of the shirt, the best!! It slid on nicely and had a smooth, comfortable feel to it. I could easily have worn this without any issues. The only reason why it got 4 out of 5 stars was because of the care instructions.

Much shorter in length, doesn't fit - not the same size as previous years. Fabric pills easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] He loves these, wears them nearly daily. More colors will result in more purchases.
