Interesting.
Are your Icebreaker pieces 100% wool?
Most of the ultralights (under 200 weight?) are not for the last 10 years or so, the reason being that the nylon and lycra adds strength to the cloth.
I have to say that I haven't tried synthetic tops for over twenty years and the Patagonia pieces that I've passed on to my wife don't look any different than when they were purchased.
- The quality of the wool itself has gone down in my view since they moved production overseas.

There’s only one with a label that’s still readable, and that says 100% New Zealand wool, so I assume so. I didn’t know they did the “sportswool” thing these days.
