Nice video, thanks to share it. Is it possible to wear it in the middle of summer with over 30 °C (in Africa)? If possible, how thin should the fabric be? Is 165 g/m² OK?
Thanks
PS: I really like the color of your t-shirt, please can you tell me what exact color it is?
@@ExploringWorldUA-cam sure is. I wore these a lot this summer here in the states through a few heat waves that were over 30C. And for a few days in a row. They are light and pretty airy.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA I thank you a lot your your reply. Please, tell me if your merino fabric was 165 g/m² or less thick. Thanks again.
@@ExploringWorldUA-cam that’s the specs Huckberry gives on the site. I have found their specs to be pretty honest and accurate. I have no way of confirming this, but the shirts are a little lighter than a standard cotton tee. They still feel durable, but thinner and softer than say a medium weight Gildan shirt.
We're traveling nomads wearing wool 😅. I've gotten use to the price tag. Especially since we've been wearing the same wool items for 3-6 years. 🌺Heidi
With a life span of 3-6 years, the price tags seems very reasonable.
Buy once, cry once I say!
@@auduffer true story!
Do they actually and truly last that long?
@@RobertGaron My husband has been wearing the same set of Unbound Merino wool shirts for 4 years. At this point, some of them are faded and ready to be replaced. A couple of my Merino wool dresses are 7 years old. 🌸 Heidi
I still wear these shirts almost every day. I’m on day 2 of one now with zero smell.
Thank you very much for this review. I live in Florida and travel quite a bit. These seem like the perfect shirts. I just ordered some. Really appreciate you!
@@philiposwald780 I’m happy I’m old help. And thank for watching!
Thanks Man. This is exactly what I was as looking for. . .
@@Buumroasted great shirts. I’m wearing one right now.
Personal question here but I think it’s relevant, Do you use antiperspirant? Or do you just use deodorant? Antiperspirant tends to eventually stain and on an 88 dollar tee that’s rough.
To be honest. I’m not sure what it is. I use Degree Sport. I’ll have to look when I get home. I don’t have any issues with it staining any clothing though.
I just remembered to check. It reads Antiperspirant Deodorant. I have not have any issues staining any shirts sense I have used Degree Sport, which is probably close to 10 years now. The only time I remember getting stains was when I used gel type deodorants or worse really cheap shirts. My old uniform t-shirts from my last job 10 years ago would stain. But again, those were pretty cheap shirts.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA thanks for the reply Jeff. Love your stuff excited to see what your bring for Disney. Have fun!
@@cbassplissken I really need to start going through all my junk. I’m going in less than 3 weeks and I only got out my swim suit! Haha
Ridiculous pricing. $88…smh. There are plenty of merino wool brands out there that you can buy t-shirts for much cheaper.
There are plenty out there that are MUCH more. I’m sitting here wearing one now, having run all over an abandoned location all moring filming, and it’s dry, comfortable and stink free.
Any brands you can name? Thanks
@@TheSid2355great question! I’m wondering too.
Hello friend. Is wool okay to wear in the summer? I travel with motorbike and i want to pack wool since its antimicrobial and wont smell as much. But will i sweat much more than plain old cotton tshirt when riding in the sun at high heat
Good question. Yes wool is great to wear in the summer. It is a great fabric. If you are not familiar with Merino wool, it is not like wool that is commonly used. That is generally a heavier weight for warmth used in jackets and blankets. Mernio wool clothing is made to be much thinner. I basically wore these all summer long. They are moister wicking, anti-microbial, and downright very comfortable to wear. Merino is used for travel, hiking, and EDC clothing. So yes, these would be great for a bike trip. I am thinking about picking up the hoodie myself for the summer to use a sun layer at the beach and State Park pools.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA Thank You for your reply. Yes if they don't smell it will be a lifesaver. Cause instead of carrying 6-7 tshirts and filling my bag, I can just grab 2 merino tshirts and then a more flashy and trendy cotton shirt for nights out for drinks. I'm from Europe so I don't have access to unbound and other popular brands. What I can get here is the Adidas Terrex xperior, lasting quido and Rab. Any suggestions between those?
@@therock005 I don’t have any personal experience with any of those brands merino shirts unfortunately n
Really in depth, great video Jeff! Opinion question for you: I'm 6'3" with a good portion of my height in my torso. My biggest issue is finding tshirts that stay long enough. How would you say these hold up on that front? Thanks in Advance!
Good question. I would say these run about average in length for a t-shirt. I think the athletic fit was a tad longer than the classic fit. So if you size up in your regular shirt size, the chest and body will fit about the same as your normal size, but give you a bit more in the length of the shirt.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA Thanks! That's really good info, they're definitely on the list of shirts I want to try if they're long enough. If I go for one I'll be sure to use the affiliate link for ya :)
let me know how it works out if you snag one. And thanks for using my links if you do, every little but helps get new gear to review!
@@jeffgrantMEDIA I will for sure! Absolutely, my wife does UA-cam as well, I know how important those links are :) Looking forward to seeing more content!
How tall are you and what is your weight? Trying to compare for sizing.
5’9” 180 wearing a size medium in the classic form and a large in the athletic fit. Both fit me well.
My favorite shirt!!
It may just be mine as well!
My merino experiment lasted 2 hours and back to synthetic. I’ve noticed the wool industry loves the goofy colors. Thing is nobody buys them. Of any recommended brands size large and medium and usually XL are sold out unless your into being flamboyant and bright pink or colors that hurt most peoples eyes are your thing. Apparently I’m not alone either because every size of goofy color is in stock and just about every wool company with a brown , tan or dark earth color way stays sold out. Maybe make the color that actually comes off the shelf and is sold?
I think Sitka is doing merino now so I might end up trying a merino synthetic blend.
The Proof shirts do not come in any crazy colors. The Performance fit comes in a lot of normal colors, much like my favorite cotton shirts. In fact, I don't think I have seen any companies making merino shirts in crazy colors. Closest might be some of the Smart Wool socks I've seen/wore/ sold.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA the one I remember clearly is Unbound merino. Some of the ugliest colors I’ve seen but the only items they had in stock. Maybe I just picked the wrong time of year post Black Friday. I’ll watch the entire video and see the thought on these proof t shirts because they actually have the color and size I am after. My only concern now is the correct size and some more research on the laundry and care. I plan to use it 24/7 as an undershirt so slightly concerned with the longevity since I’ve heard the thin merino can wear out fast. Maybe it’s all covered in the video. Any thoughts you want to add I’ll gladly listen. Thanks
@@TYMGhosT I mostly wear these shirts every day. I have been tossing them in the washing machine with my daughters laundry, because I do that on delicate. But they haven't shrunk or worn out at all. The only thing I noticed was the oxblood shirt seems to get a little more static electricity than the other colors.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA thanks. I’m going to pull the trigger on one shirt for now and give it a test run.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA update: got one tee to try out. Dune size medium. Took my measurements used their size guide. Wore and washed once. The medium is now too small to even be an XS… not expecting them to take an exchange to a large but hoping they do since it shrunk more than cotton on high heat. Either way I’m back to synthetic. Wool is way too expensive to have to find out at 100 dollars a pop. I can buy more synthetic products and just change clothes if they smell. I’ll go broke finding a shirt and a brand I like made out of wool.
I work from home and can pretty much go a solid week wearing just one and that includes errands after work.
I went ahead and wore my wrinkled black one the next day and it still didn’t smell. Love these shirts.
