Description, Tech Specs, Fabric & Source
There are numbers, and there are numbers. When it comes to Merino wool, 17.5 is a number you need to know. What's it mean? 17.5 is the thickness of the wool fiber measured in microns. The lower the number, the finer the wool. How fine is this fabric, then? Well, consider that a human hair is about 60 microns. That makes our 17.5 one of the softest, lightest fabrics around - but because it's wool, it also delivers durable high performance. Is it any wonder we love what we do?

      I use my 2 Nelsons regularly. They are my go-to shirts. When they are both in the laundry, I'm at a loss. They move right back to the top of my everyday shirts as soon as they are available.

      I love the 17.5. I would own many if they cost about half of their regular price. They would be perfect if they were tagless.

        This sweater is great - but feels more like casual wear than exercise/active wear. It fits great - true to size - but you have to like it fitted. It's not the baggie look, which helps to clean up the look a bit and make it a sweater that can easily go from work to dinner out. Casual and classic - but sporty!

          Comments about Ibex Seventeen.5 Nelson Longsleeve:

          The Nelson Longsleeve is my favorite piece that Ibex makes. It works really well for me as a base layer or by itself. The weight and warmth is great and works well for the area I live in.

          I would like to see more color choices, especially the Aspen Gold.

            Comments about Ibex Seventeen.5 Nelson Longsleeve:

            When my 17.5 arrived I was surprised by the weight or lack of weight. This is a great base layer, thin and light. I am not a fan of bulk so this is perfect.

            Only having the 17.5 for a few weeks it is hard to not put it on. I am looking forward to seeing the temperature range as spring approaches. But my feeling is that the 17.5 will get a lot of wear.

              My whole family could live in Ibex wool from head to toe every day! How have we lived without it? I'm not sure, really. From briefs to long underwear to hoodies and hats, we love Ibex.

                I wear this almost every day under my dress shirts at work. I used to get cold but not any longer. Perfect weight to wear an an undershirt. I need a medium size rather than a large.
