Icebreaker Women's Bodyfit260 Mid-Weight Long Sleeve Crew TopProduct Description: The warm and breathable Icebreaker Women's Bodyfit260 Mid-weight Long Sleeve Crew Top is an ideal base layer for frigid temperatures. Composed of 100 percent New Zealand merino wool, the Icebreaker Bodyfit260 line takes high-tech, high-performance sport clothing back to nature with its natural fiber construction. A base layer in cold conditions, and a standalone during high aerobic activities and in warmer temperatures, the Bodyfit 260 Mid-weight Long Sleeve Crew Top is highly breathable, will not hold odors, and offers maximum warmth with great temperature regulation for high-performance comfort.
Icebreaker uses the best superfine merino in the world, from the mountains of New Zealand. In contrast to synthetics, the Icebreaker merino fabric is finer, softer, more insulating, and more breathable than alternative fabric types. The lightweight, odor-resistant, and soft-against-the-skin fabric breathes better than other garments because each individual merino fiber breathes as well as the fabric, allowing your body to release moisture vapor so you never feel clammy.
The Bodyfit260 Long Sleeve Crew Top has a low-bulk crew neck making it an easy layer. A slim fit offers a form-flattering look with contrasting sleeve and body color or solid color options. The all-natural merino fabric features a circular knit that offers a natural stretch that will maintain its shape over years of use. Pushed forward side seams offer zero-abrasion comfort on this classic base layer shirt. Easy to care for, the Long Sleeve Crew Top is machine washable and fast drying. Additionally, the Bodyfit260 fabric will not absorb odors as synthetic fabrics do.

About Icebreaker Merino Wool Icebreaker uses the best superfine merino in the world, from the mountains of New Zealand in all of its garments. Icebreaker's merino fiber was created by nature to protect animals in the harsh environment of New Zealand's Southern Alps. If the fiber didn't work, the animals wouldn't survive. Recognizing that it couldn't design a better fiber, Icebreaker turned nature's merino wool into a clothing system for humans. In contrast to synthetics, Icebreaker merino is 100 percent natural. The fabric created is finer, softer, more insulating, and more breathable than alternative fabric types.
Icebreaker merino forms a buffer zone around your body, keeping you at an ideal temperature in all climates and conditions. It's also lightweight, odor-resistant and soft against the skin--all qualities that will help you to perform at your peak. Because Icebreaker merino fibers are so fine, they are naturally more breathable, so you stay cool in the hottest conditions. It feels very different than synthetics, where breathability is limited.
Icebreaker garments breath better than other garments because each individual merino fiber breathes as well as the fabric allowing your body to release moisture vapor so that you never feel clammy. In a warm, high aerobic environment, sweat is pulled from the body into the fabric, and dispersed and metabolized as moisture vapor through the outside of the garment, cooling the body through evaporation. In cold temperatures, when moisture is absorbed from the cold air, Icebreaker merino fibers liberate heat through a molecular process call "heat of sorption" to keep you warm.

I love DKNY tights.The non-control top ones are super comfortable, stay up (hate saggy tights), and almost never run.I usually am able to wear a pair for years before they get a hole or run.They cost a little more than some tights but you will more than make up your money given how long they last.Very, very worthwhile to fork over a few extra dollars up front.
