Merino wool neutralizes unpleasant odors by absorbing odour molecules into its fibers, making them less detectable by the human nose.
Merino fibers efficiently manage moisture, absorbing it from your skin and releasing it into the atmosphere. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in water without feeling wet.
icebreaker merino wool garments undergo special anti-shrinkage treatment, helping to resist deformation and pilling.
The thermo-regulation properties of merino wool adapt to your body and external conditions, so you can stay warm in the cold and cool in the heat.

"Absolutely love this fabric. Perfect for summer activities. Not "itchy" at all."
— Jeanette (5/5)
"I’ve been using the Icebreaker Sphere Tee for the past few weeks on hikes around San Diego, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite warm-weather shirts. It’s super breathable, lightweight, and handles sweat way better than most synthetic shirts I’ve used. Even on longer uphill sections, it never felt heavy or clingy. The biggest surprise was the odor resistance. After long hikes and plenty of sweating, it still stayed surprisingly fresh and didn’t get that “sweaty shirt funk” by the end of the day. The fabric feels really soft against the skin too, so I never had any chafing or irritation even with a pack on for hours. (I’ve been using it in high 70’s to low 80’s temps) Definitely a great tee and I would highly recommend! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review."

"Icebreaker gave me the Sphere Tee for my honest review. I took the tee out on a couple of hikes in the foothills where the weather was warm, dry, and dusty. As we hit the inclines I could tell the shirt was wicking sweat really well, my back never got damp with sweat, as it often does with other brands. I took my backpack off for the picture but normally my back gets sweaty from where the backpack rests and how well the product can wick sweat. I never noticed a thing. I also noticed that the shirt stayed nice and fresh - we went to brunch after the hike and I wasn’t embarrassed by smelling like I had just done a 6 mile hike. There was no residual odor or anything. I can imagine fellow patrons appreciated that. I’d highly recommend the Sphere Tee as a basic staple in your adventure wardrobe."

"I tested this merino top while trail running, mountain biking, hiking, and at the gym; it performed well across all activities. The material is lightweight, breathable, and very comfortable, with enough stretch and room to move freely during active use. Even after sweating, the shirt stayed fresh and didn’t hold odor. It also dried quickly after workouts. The black color remained lightweight without being see-through. Overall, it’s a versatile and comfortable top that works for a variety of activities."
— Hannah (5/5)
"I've been using this shirt constantly for the past few weeks, on and off the trail. The breathability and wicking ability of the shirt is phenomenal for hiking and backpacking in Florida's hot and humid climate (95+ degrees in full sun. ) In comparison to other merino wool shirts I've tried, this one was by far the most comfortable. The material is so light I'd forget I was wearing the shirt as it held up to everything I threw at it. The shirt is very easy to dress up, especially if you're spending a day in town. I'd highly recommend this shirt to anyone active in the outdoors."
— Miya L. (5/5)
"Great shirt. The topaz color is gorgeous, and the cool-lite fabric is perfect for summer hiking and everyday wear. I do have a couple of sphere ii shirts, and I prefer their slightly scooped neckline to this one, but other than that it’s perfect!"
— Laura (4/5)
"I am always looking for reasons to wear this comfortable t-shirt. Nice feel to the fabric. I appreciate the lean cut. The armholes aren’t binding or baggy- perfect cut. The fabric drapes well alone and also layers nicely. Naturally odor resistant too!"
— Deborah D. (5/5)
"Light yet warm enough as base clothing this fall. I love the colour! I went one size up (XL) because I'd rather not have tight clothes. True to size in large, I still wear the one I got a few years ago."
— Suzanne D. (5/5)
