Featherweight Merino Wool Tees

Icebreaker's brand ethos revolves around responsibly tapping into nature's bounty to craft spectacular apparel that offers unmatched comfort and performance for the wearer whilst also helping to craft a sustainable future for the planet, and this approach has led to phenomenal results in the form of the 'Spector Short Sleeve Crewe' merino wool tee.

This merino wool tee is almost preposterously lightweight thanks to the use of ultra-fine fabric crafted through proprietary Corespun technology, which involves wrapping the merino fibers around a core of nylon, creating a fabric that offers ethereal softness, reliable flexibility, comfort across climes and mercifully robust odor protection, all without compromising on durability. The 'Spector Short Sleeve Crewe' merino wool tees are also magnificently soft thanks to the use of merino fibers that are so delicate that they bend in subservient fashion when they touch your skin, and while this effect isn't apparent in a visible sense, it is well and truly evident when it comes to tactile comfort, with the material feeling wonderfully soft against your skin whilst also stretching respectfully to adhere to your movements.

Elsewhere, these merino wool tees also promise high-performance attributes for the active and on-the-go wearer, with the high-quality merino fibers helping to optimize your body temperature by absorbing or emitting heat, keeping you comfortably cool in hot conditions whilst also offering a layer of warmth in cooler situations. What's more, this merino fiber also has marvelous water-retention and release qualities, and is capable of absorbing up to 35 percent of its own weight in water before it starts to feel wet. These tees also promise one of the most venerated qualities of merino, which is extraordinary ability to resist odor even after repeated wears. So confident is Icebreaker in its merino wool tees' ability to resist odor that it notes that the apparel can be worn for up to one week without washing.

The first thing that any wearer will notice when throwing on the 'Spector Short Sleeve Crewe' is the luxurious softness of a tee that is so thin and lightweight that you could be forgiven for forgetting that you're even wearing anything at all. However, with prolonged and repeated wears in varied conditions, the high-performance attributes of this tee quickly come to the fore.

From trail runs and long-haul flights to strolls to the grocery store and much-deserved lounging sessions on the couch, these phenomenally breathable, lightweight and comfortable merino wool tees will fast become a staple upon trying out a pair, which can be obtained for $80 or $85 depending on the design option chosen.
