Product Customer Reviews
Excellent product 👍 comfortable to wear, the zip allows you to open it in case of heat and need. Good evacuation of perspiration and good heat retention. Used for cycling and alpine hiking at over 2500 with snow, very good sensations. Very satisfied with my purchase.
T-shirt that fits well
Excellent product, with great look, mesmerising cool colour
The shirt works very well
A little light compared to the women's model ref 900.
Quite cool despite its color and material during summer activities, it wicks away sweat appropriately, it is a comfortable garment, the wool doesn't itch me at all and it is warm enough so that I don't have a bad time once the sun goes down.
Must have for high altitude treks
I had to have the sleeves shrunk
Although the material is quite thin, it is warm, not hot, just right. Whether +10 or close to zero. Unfortunately, sometimes a thread can get caught.
I have already purchased other items and each time I find them to be very comfortable and have an excellent quality/price ratio.
To talk about merino you must first set the objective. Faced for me with very famous products (Woolpower in the "active" version) it does the job perfectly as a first layer under a windbreaker if necessary for active hiking in cool/cold weather (zone 0 to 10°C). For more static activities it is a good first layer that is pleasant to the touch.

Great
Value for money

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 86.0% Wool, 14.0% Polyamide ; Yoke: 98.0% Wool, 2.0% Polyamide
Odour control
The components used reduce bad odours. Laboratory tested to standard ISO 17299-3.
Reduction of the freezing effect
After exercise and sweating heavily, Merino wool prevents evaporation helping to maintain body temperature by absorbing the majority of the body's moisture. This therefore reduces any unpleasant chilling effect.Conversely, a synthetic material lets the body temperature go back down again faster.
Tip before use
For a softer feel, wash your t-shirt before first use.
How to wash your t-shirt made with merino wool?
We recommend that you machine wash your MT500 MERINO ZIP T-shirt at 30° on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by one or two sizes!For more information: https://support.decathlon.co.uk/how-to-maintain-a-merino-wool-garment
Product testing
In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team tested this T-shirt for four days in the Southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for mountain trekking use.
