Hi all

I'd like to get an Icebreaker top but having looked across sites they come in different weights.

150 g/m² Ultralite
200 g/m² Lightweight
260 g/m² Midweight
320 g/m² Midlayer
380 g/m² Outerlayer

Anyone have experience with these? I'd like to wear them under a work shirt. Thinking the 200 or 260?

Cheers Karma

200 for an underlayer for inside.

It's worth the money.

Hmmm. A regular T-shirt does the trick for me, or on really cold days i wear my compression shirt under that.

I leave them on under my work shirt (its sometimes quite cold inside).

Cheers for replies.

Ordered the 200 weight from 'The Nature Shop' as it was £47.66 rather than £55 or £60 in some places.

That's free shipping too. Also if you add this code you get 10% off:

I got the Icebreaker everyday long sleeve shirt. By Jove! This thing is a heater! Incredibly warm Very Happy Wickes the moisture away well too!

But after a week or wearing it, your t-shirt would stink and you'd be starting to get a rash. Not the case with icebreaker stuff. It genuinely does not stink even after prolonged use.

I change my shirt every couple of days providing it doesnt stink. Couldnt justify almost £60 on one :/
