The Women's Bodyfit Long Sleeve Crewe Top by Icebreaker is a favorite the world over. Lightweight, highly breathable, low bulk with super comfortable raglan sleeves and pushed forward side seams. No wonder it is one of Icebreaker's best sellers ever. Raglan long sleeve. Pushed forward side seams. Neckline bound with double stitching. 100% pure merino.
DECENT FEATURES of the Icebreaker Women's BodyFit 260 Long Sleeve Crewe
This is my second BodyFit 260 shirt. I freaking love these things. They were my introduction to Icebreaker and all of the raving people do is true - they don't stink or itch, they somehow magically regulate your body temperature. Feel great next to the skin, almost silky, thick enough to keep me warm in Chicago winters. Usually a medium, but get a large in these and most Icebreaker products because they're cut trim, and I don't always want to look like I'm sporting tight tech gear. One cold night I didnt want to get out of my wool for a dinner with friends, so I wore a scarf to hide the raglan seams and embroidered chest logo, and some earrings, and poof! I was fashionably warm.
5'6", 135 lbs, 36D, bought this in a SM. Fits perfectly. Snug in the arms and across the chest, a tad looser in the tummy region. Length covers the top 3 in of my normal rise jeans. I don't think this is itch-free, but I have super sensitive skin and just deal with the prickle. No stink and controls odors, I've worn this everyday for a week and my boyfriend and dogs haven't left me yet. Box says that the 260 is for cold weather, but if you wear it alone w/o a shell, it will be fine in warm weather, it has great breathability.

Love this Icebreaker top, had a more lightweight Icebreaker that is better as a base layer, this one is heavier weight so it keeps me warmer. And the "no stink" is great!
This shirts on the thinner side, and it has nice stretch to it. I'm a pretty standard small and the small is a little snug on me, but it feels good on. It also has nice torso length, which I appreciate. Overall a good, dependable top.

Well constructed, comfortable, quick-drying, and I can wear it 10 times in a row without it getting stinky. This is a staple in my hiking/biking/camping clothes.
"One of the greatest garments I've ever owned, bar none"

Bought this as a present for a friend of mine, whom I really love and adore and want to be warm all the time. I knew from experience that this would do the trick, as I've worn one for seven months and it's one of the greatest garments I've ever owned, bar none. I live in SF and it's usually a bit chilly. I'd wear this every day if I could and will get multiples myself. Incredibly warm when it needs to be, but always comfortable when it gets warmer, too. You can wear it for days on end and it never gets wiffy. Super light and thin, holds its shape, stylish and flattering in cut, perfect for travel, never pills and stays good looking. Non-itchy, even with nothing on underneath, yet great
I have three of these tops. I wear them as a base layer or singlet, as we Kiwi merino sheep lovers call them all winter long. I wore one for an entire week competing in the 2008 Everglades Challenge - a 300+ mile kayak race from Tampa Bay to Key Largo, and only ponged a wee bit at the finish lane. and I beat all the boys. Icebreaker does that to you.
"Breathable and comfortable- great for layering or on its own"

Yet another great top from Icebreaker. All their clothes are super breathable and I love this one. It's slightly heavier than my Bodyfit 200 LS crew so I'm more likely to wear it on its own than just as a super light base layer. Is now an essential part of my fall/winter wardrobe and will come with on any camping/hiking trip.

This shirt is fantastic! It keeps me really warm while running and I can't wait to try it on ski trips. It holds its shape and - like they promise - doesn't hold smell.
