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?

    If you hate the feel of plastic (synthetic) shirts and don't want to use cotton either, then try this against your skin. It feels... very natural, not like a synthetic "wicking" shirt.

      Comments about Ibex Seventeen.5 Nelson Longsleeve:

      I used to wear the thermal woolies as summer tops, but they are tight and a touch airless for the purpose. These nelsons are superb--loose fit, airy, and a soft feel. I doubt they would stand up to rigorous chafing, such as continued use with a backpack, but for day hiking, and for casual wear, they are perfect.

          The Nelson is a super-flexible shirt that is suited to a wide range of activities. The relaxed fit allowed me to wear a Medium comfortably (I normally wear a Large at 5'10", 165 lbs). This shirt gets a lot of use!

              Love it! Have two short sleeve 17.5 shirts that are perfect. Great to add the long sleeve version. Wardrobe staple, to be sure, not just for on the bike.

              I wear a Nelson LS shirt virtually every day of the week for work from Oct to April. I now own 9 of them and found that they modulate temperatures perfectly, never stink, are incredibly durable, comfortable and fit well. I wear them under scrubs, dress wool shirts, and around the house. I have no hesitation in providing my highest recommendation for this shirt.

                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.
