This is my favorite new shirt. My only regret is that you won't be able to try this out for yourself until Spring when you'll be able to find it in your favorite outdoor stores. But, on to why it's great.

When I got this shirt I wasn't really sure if it was supposed to be an out-on-the-town shirt or a high performance shirt. The collar and styling lend it to a casual shirt you could wear to work or out for drinks. But the material reeks performance. It decidedly works for both situations well.

The Tech

It is 66% Merino Wool and 34% Nylon, giving it a great natural feel as well as the wicking and anti-microbial properties of that particular material combination.

The Style

This shirt has a cycling-inspired look with its small rear pocket for gels or cells. There are some seams that feel a bit rough like the ones that run down the shoulder. These "raw-edge seams" give it a little extra on the hip factor. Then there is the zipper neck adjustment, which I was skeptical of at first, that actually works well and is much easier to maneuver than buttons.

Again, this shirt won't be out until Spring. But its worth the wait. And in typical Merrell fashion they will have it in sizes Small through XXL. So everyone can enjoy.
