Review on ICEBREAKER Tech Lite Short Sleeve T Shirt by Joe Montalvo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Label, label, label.and a little more label

I travel in a 25-30 liter backpack and consider myself a minimalist traveller. I bought three of these for upcoming trips to Rwanda and Peru. Overall, the shirt is very good (4-4.5 stars). The length is usually a little shorter if you are tall. I wore it 3 days in a row to test the smell. It smelled noticeably less than cotton, poly-spandex, or bamboo (according to my brave volunteer sniffer). The fur is softer than expected, doesn't stick and doesn't itch. On the other hand, tags are annoying. There are three 2.5 inch long labels on the inseam that will scratch and bother you all day long, even if they are cut - a serious break. Until Icebreaker makes a tagless version, the search for the perfect travel t-shirt continues.

Pros
  • men's
Cons
  • sad packaging
