Merino wool shirts

I bought for a cold weather trip to Normandy last winter and loved them! I wear around the house now in coastal California…haven’t tried them in heat.
I was cost resistant but bit the bullet and glad I did. I bought “ unbound “ brand.

Yes, they are. I have been wearing merino wool for more than 10 years. I really have a hard time wearing anything else as anything that is not a natural fiber really is uncomfortable on my skin now. I even wear socks, undies and bras that are made of merino wool. I am a breast cancer survivor and am supposed to only wear a certain type of bra but even those hurt so I switched to those made from merino wool. I typically wear one outfit (all merino wool) for 3 to 4 days without washing (I do wear an apron in the kitchen to protect my clothes). Merino wool does not stink, dries quickly, and can be worn for days without needing to change. TMI, but underwear is changed everyday...but now socks can be worn for at least 3 days at a time before I change them. I could not go back to wearing something other than all natural fibers now--yes, I am spoiled. It also makes packing a breeze since it can be worn for multiple wears. At night, just hang up the clothes and put them back on in the morning...makes carryon only a breeze!

Thank you for your responses. Sounds like it is a good investment!

Do you have a favorite company? I have REI wool underwear and both my husband and I have l/s merino t-shirts from Costco. I've been thinking about getting a tank top, and I'm curious about bras. Sometimes I'm really bothered by synthetics so wear a lot of cotton, but it's getting harder to find 100% cotton tops.

Last year I purchased merino wool clothing to wear while walking the Camino De Santiago September to October 2024. I wore a merino tank top in the summer (very hot summers in my area of California) and it was very cool and comfortable. The merino T shirts and sun hoodie I wore on the camino were fantastic: they wash and dry quickly (I hung them to dry at home, but once on the Camino where it was unseasonably damp and rainy, I used dryers and they shrank very little). They resist odor. No other fabric feels so good on my skin. And to my surprise, once back home after walking the Camino I wear them often: the T shirts to work out at the gym, doing yoga, weight training and pilates; and the sun hoodie on walks. If over 55 degrees I wear the sun hoodie alone, if in the 30s I wear my fleece over it. Merino wool is fantastic.
From Ridge Merino I own a T shirt, the sun hoodie and an athletic bra. Love them all. I have SmartWool and Darn Tough merino wool hiking socks which are great, and one ArcTeryx T shirt which was much more expensive than the Ridge Merino. It's as good but I don't see that it is better for the price. I also purchased IceBreaker (on sale as it is costly also): 2 long sleeve light weight tops and one T shirt. Love them as well.

I've become a recent convert to merino and I love it. I started off wearing merino base layers for hiking and walking the dog in the cold and found them to be excellent in responding to body temperature and I've now progressed to buying pretty much any clothing item in merino. I like that it's a natural fibre however bear in mind that some products are coupled with synthetic fibres.
