I'm after some advice. What's out there\has anyone any recommendations?
Thanks
Endura baa-baa. Very good indeed.
Not strictly cycling specific, but [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/nettools/allsearch.search?language=EN&siteId=52333&text=Merino%20wool¢ral=7&elementPerPage=16 ]Decathlon[/url] had some merino t-shirts for about €20,00 a while back. Might be worth a look.
I'm a bit short sighted on questions like this. Rapha is my knee-jerk reaction. A bit more practical than collecting expensive watches, but just as covetable.
SHutt Vr sportwool ones are great
As above, but Swobo and Ibex also good because they are 100% wool.
Try Charthebikemonger and Alwaysriding.
just got one of these

not used it yet but for 15 euro in the shop i couldn't pass it up
Swobo is good if you can get it, just go up a size and wash it on 'wool' setting. Stif were doing some great deals on old stock, they may have your size.
I wear these 365

Endura baa-baa is good. It's quite a tight weave so it's not as stretchy as some merino and it is comfortable to wear for days without washing.
The only criticism I would have is that it doesn't have the normal 3 pockets at the back - just a tiny one for keys. Not a problem for Camelbak users, I suppose.
'Third' the Endura BaaBaa tech shirt, wore one for days on the (very sunny) Camino De Santiago and only washed it because it was rimed with salt rather than honking 😯 Lack of pockets is manageable with the odd frame/saddle bag (and I'd've though any merino shirt would just stretch absurdly even if it does have pockets!).
I love the Sugoi Wallaroo too (super fine wool) but more as a base layer / for messing around in.
+1 on the Decathlon t-shirt. Not actually worn it in anger yet, but its dead comfy and a bargain for 15Euro.
