Warm without getting sweaty
For the question "How does this fit", I think it depends on your personal style. I bought this for my husband for Christmas (I am not taking credit, he picked it out) and he wanted a Large. The Large would have fit in the chest and arms similar to the model in the product description, but the arms would have been too short. At the last minute, I changed the order to XL and I am so happy I did. The extra large is not too baggy, but it is not "form fitting" as a large would have been. The arm length alone was worth the change for me.This is a very light weight material. When I took it out of the package, I thought it was so soft but there is no way this is going to be warm enough. It has been in the sub-zero temperatures for the past two weeks in the Midwest. I will tell you this shirt has been perfect. It is warm without being sweaty. You can lounge indoors or add extra layers (we have all been there with Thermal shirts that end up so bulky it is challenging to add a flannel or sweatshirt).My husband has been talking non-stop how much he likes this shirt. When you see Wool you think of a scratchy abrasive material. Not Merino Wool. This has a silk like feel to the material and you just feel like you are swimming in luxury.

High quality fabric and construction, fit is just a hair awkward
I've worn several brands of Merino daily for several years and have gotten a feel for where each one excels. Minus33, to me, stands out as the leader in terms of quality. Their lightweight shirt is 170g whereas most other brands go with 150g, and the result is a tangibly heftier shirt (albeit just a notch warmer). The neck hole and arm holes have the perfect amount of stretch, which other brands tend to overlook, and the result is a comfortable feel. They're also very well stitched, with no visible loose threads or weak spots.My only criticism is that the fit is just slightly awkward, like the feeling of putting on a shirt backwards but to a lesser degree. That one is way more subjective to the wearer, so it's hard to rate down for that... but something to look out for.All in all I'm really liking Minus33.

First layer, awesome... wicks away sweat... doesn't stink after 3 weeks continued use... WOW
Soft, comfortable, breathes, wicks quickly, dries quickly... I'm so impressed... All of the Minus33 products I purchased... which was most of the products they offer.... performed as advertised... I choose Minus33 because I'm kinda big... 3xl... they offer the most variety of sizes... I recommended them to my adult sons who are taller and bigger than me.... I'm in my 50's, live off-grid about 2 miles high in altitude in the Himalayan mountains... no insulation... rammed earth building... limited firewood... It's constantly cold... 5C inside in the morning... Happy with this solution...

Tan is not Tan, Tan is GREEN! The manufacuter is color blind! Otherwise product is ok
I like Minus33 products, good quality, quite high priced, but seems typical for merino wool, but made in China, it's expensive. Also this particular color, Tan, is not Tan, it is not brown, it is not coffee, it is not anything near the color brown. It is GREEN plane and simple. It is a pale shade of green. It does not resemble brown in any way shape or form. Rename your product please.Green by the way, really is green, and it is a really dark shade of green.

Comfy shirt AND a warranty? I’ll take two!
Great feeling T-shirt in a Tan499 option for uniformed personnel!! I’ve been wearing Under Armor shirts and underwear under my uniform for 15+ years and felt it was time for a change. UA’s quality seems to be going down and I wanted a natural, renewable fabric that would wick sweat. Merino was my answer and then some since it’s also anti odor and fire resistant. I searched and searched and even spoke to a few companies on the phone about making a Tan499 shirt. Minus33 was one of two companies that made T-shirts in a tan color. Minus33 is the only company as of this review that makes a Tan499 option. And it being a U.S. based companies in NH is icing on the cake. The feel is light and breezy, it’s not quite as soft as cotton but still really soft. It’s a different kind of softness (if you can imagine that). It’s stretchy kind of like spandex and fits snugly but not tight. (Think Under Armor loose gear if you go down a size). The price on these may seem high but since they can be worn multiple days between washing it’s comparable to the price of under armor T-shirts. I got 2 long sleeve and 2 short sleeve and that works great for me. Now if Minus33 would just make a V-neck So I could switch my everyday shirts to merino...I left one star open because I’ve got some merino that is a bit softer feeling. If this gets softer after a wash or two I’ll come back with the 5th star.

Very comfortable shirt and not itchy at all
Very comfortable shirt and not itchy at all, like some others. I'm 5'10" 185 decent shape and normally wear a large but the large in this brand I had to return since the sleeves were short and if I lifted my arms up then half my stomach would show. The extra large fit well for me.I compared this to a Justin Charles which had a little thinner less durable feeling cuffs at the neck and wrists. Also the Minus 33 is a little smoother/softer and the Justin Charles had a very slight scratchy feeling in comparison. Not sure I would have noticed it without this one to compare to though.

Wish the arms were longer
I have a couple minus33 mid weight base layer shirts from a couple of years ago and thought I would get a light weight one. This one is not as long in the body and arms as the mid weight ones are (or at least were). Seems like they tried to save $.50 a shirt by reducing the amount of fabric. The performance is great as expected - warm even when wet, does not get smelly,

the best
For serious use nothing beats MERINO stuff…and with MINUS33 you will have the best stuff ti fight cold.Even at home, just drinking tea by the fire, if wearing a "plastic" thing/shirt, I would not like be in your skin if a spark lands on it…!

Great, soft, economical. Would buy again.
For the price, you won't find another lightweight, durable, all-wool, super-soft undershirt.

Super comfy on skin. Good for warm or cool temps
Material is very smooth and comfortable on skin. I'm 6'2, 175lb, 42" chest 31" waist. Fit is athletic (conforms to body) but not tight.As is the case much of the time for me, sleeve length is too short with long arms. Would have given 5 stars if sleeves were long enough.Have worn as base layer in cold temps and works well. Also worn for outdoor work 15 to 30deg C.Didn't get sticky and muggy like some technical hot weather tops. Didn't overheat.

Poor Quality Material
Dislike the quality of the product , the material is far too lightweight and rips extremly easily. I do not recommend purchasing this item.Was not able to return the item to Minus33, the warrantee is not comparible to other suppliers Warrantee.I highly recommend purchasing from another Merino Wool distributer.

Warm and comfortable. I was worried it would be too scratchy ...
Warm and comfortable. I was worried it would be too scratchy to wear as a base layer but it is soft with a close knit so all good. The lightweight version is great for temperatures around freezing while working.
