Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
went rafting in 100+ heatin the Grand Canyon. The shirt kept my arms covered, kept me cool ( I could not believe) I consistently jumped in the cold water which kept me refreshed and the shirt dried perfect. Wore many days as it did not smell, felt great and looked terrific

Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
I use this as a base layer in winter and by itself in Spring and Fall. Wool is a little to warm for me here in the Mid Atlantic in Summer. The fit is a little loose, just the way I like it!

Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
I wear my Outback as a casual shirt in cool weather and several times a week as a base layer when I'm coaching soccer. It has instantly become my preferred shirt for light to moderate outdoor activities (hiking, coaching, biking) in a wide range of temperatures.
I am a believer in wool fabrics. Quality wool fabrics feel great, don't stink, wick perspiration, and regulate temperature brilliantly. Wool beats the pants off synthetics in temperature regulation and odor resistance. I don't overheat in wool. For soccer coaching in my busy schedule, my Outback goes a couple days without washing and still feels great without the reek.
On the downside, the Outback's fabric is thin, especially if you are not familiar with Ibex's fabrics. But, after wearing woolies and the Outback, I have gotten used to the fabric's weight and actually find it appropriate to the garment. The overall length and the sleeves are just a little bit short for me.

Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
I have found the Outback to be the perfect base layer. Much more comfortable then synthetics and I like the relaxed fix. I find it keeps me warmer under a Ibex Pico zip-T or Shak then anything else I've tried.

Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
Nothing beats the feel of fine wool and this shirt makes a perfect layer in cool or damp conditions. Sleeves can be pushed up easily and this Ibex cut fits trimly but is not clingy or tight. Wish I had a few more!

Just received the shirts which are not a disappointment. I have only worn one once [it is not cool enough in Charlottesville for a long-sleeved anything yet.] Very comfortable. And my wife said they look nice.
Expect to use them under shirts at work [cool and drafty room] and under a Shak later in fall and winter. I appreciate the light weight and hand of the fabric. Fit is easy without being baggy. Plenty long enough to tuck in.

Comments about Ibex Outback Long Sleeve:
Only problem is that the sleeves are too long by about 3 inches. I wouldn't consider it a big problem but it does affect the look because of the wrinkles that will show up in the sleeves. Good shirt though otherwise.... I really like the spruce color option.
