This Smartwool Men’s PHD Run Short Sleeve shirt is pretty great. After trying a couple different merino tshirts, I have become a huge fan. It’s uber soft and very comfy–I love it as my base layer under another long sleeve merino layer and a jacket in the winter.

It’s also great just by itself–I assumed wool would be too warm in warmer conditions but I was wrong. This is thin enough that it stays comfortable in conditions where just a tshirt is needed. I have also found that having a merino shirt next-to-skin as a base layer has prevented my nipples from chaffing and getting ugly without putting any goop on them, I think because it’s so soft.

My only complaint so far is that it stretches a lot once soaked with sweat. I finished a run the other day and when wet with sweat it became super long and looked like I was wearing a sweater-dress. (It was a cute sweater dress but kind of strange…). When I washed and dried (on low heat) it did seem to return to it’s original size but I haven’t noticed this happen to any of my other merino pieces. I will continue to trial it and see if it continues to do the same after a few washes.
