Ever since Outlier put out their $75 Empire merino t-shirt last year, I’ve been wondering what the big deal is. Well, as of today I am officially a convert – I picked up this merino t-shirt by Icebreaker last night and it is wonderful.

The cut and the fit are perfect, and it is incredibly comfortable as a base layer as well as all-day outerwear. Icebreaker’s shirt is $55 and available from their site. Or check out Outlier’s version, as well as their amazing merino hoodie.  I’m ready to get myself more merino shirts and outerwear; it’s absolutely worth the premium cost.
