Past experience of Rapha's merino was awful. A pack off three, rotating, had all worn through under the arms and along the chest within two or three months. Could not return as I had lopped off the dog collars.
The materials on their mesh top look poor in comparison to the Brynje original mesh which is an 80/20 split to the good, very long in the body. Twelve months old and seeing a lot of use with only light bobbling mainly on cuffs and collars (no additional holes or loss of holes however you look at it).

Yep, my experience says ice breaker is the best, their lower weights being most suitable for cycling.
In reply to questions about merino gloves; I find that they hole to easily around the finger tips especially when cycling. Have bought some assos insulator gloves l1 which seem to be ok and keeping a pair of Arc'teryx gothic with my packable down jacket for off bike luxurues.
Thrifty light bulb lit up at the weekend, chopped the main body from an old top, cut it in half ( front and back), stitched the two longest sides together , left the hem and hemmed the open end.
Hay presto your very own neck gaiter (buff). It's a little shorter and tighter than the ones you buy, works none the less.
