All the reviews about it forming holes scares me.

Returned it after buying it on sale last year. The fabric was so itchy it was completely unbearable to wear (at least for me).

Did you wash it? They get softer once they get washed

I'll stick with the $20 non merino option given this one's itchiness issue.

I've had smartwool merino base layers and one rei merino base layer.

Despite washing in cold water and air drying, the rei still shrunk to the point that it was just too tight for me to put up with. The smart wool base layers have not shrunk and they are not itchy.

My merino wool shirts are warm and comfortable but they are delicate and tiny holes appeared. I can still wear them as a base layer despite the holes.

I got this last time, found lots of holes in it without ever wearing or washing it. I believe it was moths, they love merino wool.
