Merino Wool on sale at Steep & Cheap (2-1/2 day sale)

[Melensdad]

If anyone is interested, www.steepandcheap.com has STOIC brand products on sale for 2.5 days only. They have 150 weight Merino wool shirts (with and without zippers) on sale, also Merino wool bottoms.

These are seasonal close outs and sizes/colors are very limited. BTW, to find it, go to the page and find the STOIC link, that will take you to the sale items.

I have no connection to Steep & Cheap other than as a customer. I have no connection to Stoic other than as a customer. I have had good luck with both.

I can give you my 2-bits. It's worth what you paid for it, but I'll offer it up anyway

I found Stoic about 18 months ago. It seems to be a housebrand for Backcountry.com, or Backcountry is the exclusive US retailer for them. Their prices are lower than Icebreaker, Smartwool and other better known brands. I own 3 or 4 of the Merino 150 Stoic shirts and wear them all regularly, especially through cooler months, none are showing any fraying at the seams, separation, tears, etc.

I own a couple Icebreaker shirts, in the same size, they tend to be tighter on my body, the material feels the same. I own a couple Terramar merino shirts, those feel slightly itchy and seem to fit about the same as the Stoic. I own a couple Mountain Khaki merino shirts, those seem to feel about the same at the Stoic, they are a henley style, much looser/casual fit. I own a 150 weigth IBEX henley style shirt, that seems to be a bit thinner than the other brands of the same weight. I bought a Swedish brand, can't quite recall the name, its the nicest made of all, but expensive too.

I got another Stoic long sleeve Merino pullover a few days ago in the mail too.

I also got 2 Icebreaker short sleeve button down shirts from Steep & Cheap, they were available in the "Current Steal" offer. Reg $135 each, got them for $53 each.

It is always worth checking there because of the deal prices on their 'current steal' and 'upcoming steal' offerings.
