• I haven’t found that to be the case - generally my merino (icebreaker mainly) lasts much longer than synthetic. I’ve a couple of icebreaker baselayers that are 8-9 years old and still going strong (bought them for a Himalayas trip, and still use them as my go to baselayers).

  • Agreed. Synthetics also may have perfect shape etc after a lot of use, but be fit for the bin because of staining or a slight underarm smell you cant wash out. Merino just goes and goes, even better if you air it out and dont over wash.
