Cheap tat?

Or worth getting…

Or do I just spend the extra on icebreaker??

Never used Merino, so genuinely interested..

It’s not bad. Just don’t wash it in a hot wash or you’ll find yourself under my patio.

I use the hand wash wool setting on our washing machine and my merino top is as good as new.

Awww samuri, that’s so cute……an ickle on-one merino jumper for a 5yr old child 😉

Mine shrunk on a normal wash, fits the gf now though 🙂

I can’t recommend them enough. I have two of them, two Planet X blue Marino roadie tops and two On One/ Planet X Marino t shirts. Not through being a fan boy either: I just think they’re the perfect riding tops, and the quality is definitely there. I’ve washed the cardigans twice in three years, and the blue roadies never! They smell completely fresh.

Buy!

Just ordered my third top, I think they’re brill.

I wash them on the normal setting at 30 degrees

They’re excellent, follow the wash instructions and you’ll get no shrinkage.

Excellent pong-free riding gear 🙂

I had the same top as above, my mates son now has it. I’ve got the base layers for work and they are excellent, still use my icebreakers on the bike though

I’ve just bought one of the base layers and am pretty happy with it especially for twenty quid. I quite like the other tops as well.

I’ve washed the cardigans twice in three years, and the blue roadies never! They smell completely fresh.

I can believe it. I commute in cheap one one merino every day and wash them surprisingly infrequently. They seem to last pretty well too, considering the high mileage.

Do you only wash stuff because it smells then?

The on-one merino base layers don’t have a merino back, its some man-made fibre, they just have a merino front and arms. Not much of an issue, but could be more accuratley described.

The 150g baselayers don’t have a merino back.

Which is why the copy says “The back of the jersey is constructed from Coolmax Merino Mesh, enhancing breathability and moisture wicking. “

160g and 200g are full Merino.

I would presume that Coolmax Merino Mesh would be some kind of string vest material made of Merino

Have to agree, the wording on that is a bit odd. Is it a blend of coolmax and merino or just coolmax?

No. It never smells, regardless.
