Worth a try for the money - mine from last year has been warm and durable, doesn't smell like a sheep when damp...

pretty normal - their returns are easy if you get it wrong though!

Got a couple of these and very good they are. Sizing seems a bit generous but bamboo can shrink a bit so fine.

Got some too from the last time around. To be frank they're not cheap at the price Aldi sell them at, 'bamboo' is just viscose and viscose is cheaper than cotton

They're nice as tshirts - softer and stretchier than cotton but I don't know what they really achieve as 'base layers' - they get wet - they stay wet. Doing the laundry they take twice as long to dry as ordinary cotton tshirts.

Yep, I've got two from different years. Sizing is pretty normal, but they are very, very stretchy. Really soft, comfy t-shirts. Rubbish as baselayers tho. Its basically a cotton t-shirt in terms of us ability.
