Icebreaker Nature Sweetheart Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

I tried this shirt on and loved the color. Unfortunately I have found that icebreaker cuts their shirts for a very narrow waisted person with large arms. So if that's you this is a keeper.

I travel. I travel a LOT. Bought my first Icebreaker Nature Ultralite sweetheart top in Australia at a merino specialty store. I bought it because Spring in Australia is often really quite chilly, and right after that I was going to be in the UK just in time for winter to set in. Ever been in the UK during winter? Impossible to dress for -- everywhere indoors, including public transportation like buses and the Tube, is heated to strip-off-your-clothes temperature, and outside it is really cold.

This top answers that need perfectly. When it's really over-heated, you don't feel too hot and the soft, truly non-itchy merino really does wick off the glow without getting stinky. When it's cold, it offers a thin layer underneath a heavy jacket or coat that keeps you warm all out of proportion to the tissue-thin thickness of the thing. If it's really cold out, I can layer it over a camisole (also Icebreaker merino) and be toasty warm with just a shell or a vest without feeling like I'm smothered in clothing. If it's really really cold, I put another top over this layer, and stay happy as a cricket on the hearth.

The neck isn't that low-cut, so I don't feel over-exposed, often important when you're traveling in places you're not familiar with -- I didn't even feel self-conscious in Singapore. The lighter colors are a bit see-through, so I only wear pinks or nude colors underneath those. (It's not a sweetheart neck, just a medium high v-neck.)

Best of all for the high mileage traveler, you really can go without washing Icebreaker pieces for weeks. I dribbled some soy sauce on a pale blue sweetheart top, normally the kiss of death for a shirt. Worse, I didn't notice it for a while, and it dried. Ouch. A bit of water and some dabbing with a paper towel, and it looked like new. Holy cow, I thought, I gotta buy more of these. And they simply refuse to get stinky, even if you do.

I bought Red Island (sort of the Aus version of Icebreaker) at the same time I bought Icebreaker. While I like their merino tops and do wear them, it's the Icebreaker Ultralite I keep reaching for.

Expensive and pricey, on your first cash outlay, yes. But frankly, since I've bought the Icebreaker items, I'd say I wear them most days, and am planning tonight on paring down my luggage and keeping it mainly to merino wool, so I think my cost-to-wear ratio is going to be pretty good. New strategy: keep an eye on the outlet and when there's a sale on, and buy-buy-buy. Then have my friend in the States send it to me wherever the heck I am on the planet.

I may make it back home in a year or so. Icebreaker will keep me from breaking my back hauling my luggage all over the globe, I'll look stylish and hip, feel like I'm wearing lux goods, and laundry will be far off in the future. What more could you ask from your clothes?

There are so many ways to dress this top up or down. Either way it will keep you warm. I bought this top in Bliss Passion and the color is very pretty and unique. It's true to size. This is a must have in your closet.

I absolutely love icebreaker. Superb quality that just gets softer and softer with time. Great fit, not too tight and my favorite part is the length...a bit longer to keep you covered properly.

great, light shirt. I bought it in silk kowhai and its not see-through. my only beef was that I found it on altrec a week later for $15 cheaper and BC wouldn't price match, sad.

Great shirt for layering to keep warm. The white is a little see-through, so you need to layer to be able to wear it.

Very comfortable and cute top. You can run in it, go out on the town in it, or travel in it. The fit is slim--you can fit a cami under it but not really anything else. The graphics are a nice detail and make it a little more special for wearing out and about. It's definitely more than just a sports top or an under layer...

I still like my patagonia wool baselayers better, but it could be just because I've been wearing them for a couple of years and they've gotten really comfortable. However, the fit of this shirt is great. It's form fitting but doesn't feel clingy. It's super light weight. I bought the black color so I'm not having any "see through" problems. :-)

I purchased this shirt when I was in New Zealand and like it very much. I wear it over a camisole when temps are about 50F-70F for the day. I prefer this type of wool t-shirt to cotton, especially when the temps warm up during the day and then get chilly again at night.

The last wool base-layer I bought was a smartwool pointelle. Every wool baselayer I tried since then got returned. Finally - I have found it's match and more...there's nothing better than a baselayer that you don't have to think about once you put it on. This top is not baggy, but not tight, not stinky, not itchy, and not at the back of my closet.

This top is so sheer, yet warm when it is cold and not too hot when the sun comes out. I got the Island Bud Blue, and it is vibrant and fun. It feels good and works well with tons of outfits, fitness or casual.

This is my favorite purchase of the season. I live in Park City, Utah and I'm cold all the time, I wear this icebreaker top under my long sleeved shirts and t's and I'm comfortable all day long. It is a bit sheer so it works best as an underlayer. I haven't tried wearing it as a top with a cami underneath but that could work.

I have actually worn this running in the winter. It wicks moisture so well that when I take it off I am completely dry. It is soft considering it is wool. It doesn't feel like cotton but, it does not itch or irritate my skin, even around seams. it is a little rough when you first get it but softens after the first wash.
I wash & tumble dry it although, it is so thin it dries quickly just hanging up.
It fits like a second skin to help with wicking. The sizing info available was accurate for me and I wear it over a cami or sports bra.

I alternate this with another Icebreaker long sleeved shirt, and don't know how I ever survived a winter before. I love it so much. It's comfortable, nicely shaped, great for layering, doesn't choke my neck like crew necks do, doesn't stink. I'm never going back to stinky polyester again!

....with ice breaker. this particular piece is very thin and kinda see through. however, it makes for a great base layer. the wool isn't itchy and the garment isn't overwhelmingly hot when you head indoors after a workout, which i find with some icebreakers. A great deal on sale!!!

This is a great thin first layer top. It keeps you warm enough for a first layer but it's really thin so you can easily layer without adding bulk. Plus, it's a V-neck (not too low) which is practically impossible to find!

Fits like a dream and is versatile enough for to be worn with a suit for work or with cargos for hiking. It was not as soft as expected but still very comfortable.

Form fitting but less stretchy than I would like.
Also the neckline is higher than almost all of the v-neck sweaters I have.

I expected the top to be more substantial - It is almost see through. Size was true and it has a nice fit. I could not wear it without a cami, so I returned it.

This top is my favorite. Here in Upstate NY, I practically live in it from Sept. through May as a layering piece. I even wear it on its own in the summer---on cooler evenings, mountain camping trips. It's silky smooth, comfortable in a surprisingly wide range of temperatures, non-smelly, quick-drying, hard-wearing, good-looking on its own. Another plus, the slim-fitting sleeves and longish body keep drafts from sneaking up your arms and back. I couldn't ask for more. In short, perfection.

I have 3, I wear them on their own or layered. Very simple and feminine.

Nice for layering to keep you warm!

I recently fell pretty hard for wool clothing- SAC helped develop the love affair. This is a very thin shirt, my lighter color at least is see-through and is a pretty tight fit... made to be a base layer and it is a darn good one. I pair it with a fleece vest or t-shirt if I want to wear it around town.

Very nice light wool shirt for layering or wearing by itself. I am 5'6 and the Medium fits well, a little tighter than my heavier icebreakers (also Med). Performs well on hikes but I use it for any layering occasion as well. As usual with icebreaker, good quality and no stinkiness.

The sweatheart top keeps me warm and toasty. I am a petite, short but not that small in the waist. The sleeves are always too long for my short arms. Maybe you can create a special petite for older people under 5'2", but not so small in the middle. I find it a bit snug at the waist but overall a great buy.

Bought to take as a base layer on a kayak trip but find that I wear it all the time, including with jeans out to dinner. The other IceBreaker top I ordered didn't fit, so the sizing is inconsistent, but I love this top and it fit the way the size chart said. I've purchased short sleeve icebreaker tees and they don't smell, even when you sweat, and icebreaker dries super quick. Love it!

It's thin enough to wear under slim-fitting tops, but still provides a lot of warmth. The neckline is low enough that the shirt doesn't show. Also, it feels very soft, not at all itchy. Icebreaker seems to run a little large. I usually wear a small (5'3", about 118 lb), but I get XS in Icebreaker.

I love this top! I can wear it for several days without having to wash, it doesn't retain odor...wonderful for travel. Flattering cut even though it fits slightly loose. Its a base laser but I wear a camisole under it and wear it like a top. So soft you barely realize your wearing it!

The cut and fit of this shirt has made it my favorite out of the three Icebreaker Nature shirts that I own. The v-neck is very flattering and it is fitted without being tight. It layers very well under other Icebreaker or CW-X products. It is cute by itself with jeans or on a run or in the mountains. I have this shirt in the silk color and it is a beautiful, heathered purple/gray. I find myself reaching for it time and again. Icebreaker runs true to size in my opinion, I'm 5'6" 135-ish and mediums fit me perfectly.

I love these shirts. This is my 3rd and first long sleeve one and it fits so great. I love to wear it as a base layer and I never get itchy. Doesn't smell and looks cute too!

It's comfortable, stylish and versatile.

I bought this for my girlfriend, she absolutely loves it. No more Michelin man, just a thin warm layer. She pretty much hasn't taken it off since it arrived.
