Great shirt, but not for girls with long arms

Rating:****

I got this shirt on SAC for a great price and it's super soft and comfortable. I'm just shy of 5'8" and around 125 pounds and I got a small. It fits perfectly (nice and fitted) all around except that the arms are about 2 inches too short. Even with the thumbholes, the cuff of the shirt hits me where a normal shirt would. I tried to just stretch the sleeves out a bit, but I realized after a while that the thumbholes were turning my hands purple in spots from the pressure, and the holes are also a little too small for my thumbs. The shirt is nice and long in the torso, so I'm not sure who they were sizing this thing for.

Even on sale, this is too expensive to pretend that the thumbholes are supposed to be at my wrist, so I'm returning it. I'm not going to exchange it because the medium will be too big in the body. It's a shame because the shirt was really comfortable! If you can hide the thumbholes, it's nice enough for the office.

Beautiful top, not quite perfect fit

Rating:****
This is my first icebreaker top and I love the very soft silky merino wool, the style, the color (pink), and warmth. However, the fit is not quite right around the bust/underarm area. It bunches slightly, I think it was meant to stop the shirt from riding up when you arms are above your head, which works, but when they are by your side it look slightly ill-fitted. I am curious if others are noticing this same issue? I'm 5'7", slender with a 34b bust and I wear a small. It fits perfectly everywhere else... I will keep it though for all of the other factors.

Flattering Fit

Rating:*****
I bought the black with grey/blue side inserts, the color combination is very flattering. I am over 5' 9" and the sleves were just right and the body has additional length so it won't ride up. I'm using it for winter equestrian sports and it has been cold (20 degrees or so). I find this shirt to be very warm and it doesn't itch. Launders nicely in the machine but needs to be hung to dry (ONLY drawback). Nice!

Gorgeous colors, great fit

Rating:*****
This is my first Icebreaker purchase. Love the java/cranberry colors and soft wool. This item seems more fitted than their nomad hoody. The snug fit doesn't restrict freedom of movement because the cut is well designed, but if you prefer a roomier fit go with a larger size.

Great shirt. Very warm and stays smelling fresh.

Rating:*****
My wife is a top level equestrian and has had problems with some high tech shirts that have a bad odor after a sweaty workout. This shirt is proving to work very well.

Is there anything better than an Icebreaker?

Rating:*****
Great fit, wonderful feel and most importantly, functions exactly as expected.
