The Sweet Hunter Merino T-Shirt is made from 84% wool fibre. Wool has the property of keeping you warm even when wet — which is why merino is an ideal material for paddling, or for sports where you sweat a lot! (Sweet Protection is, after all, also a respectable bike brand.) The shirt is 11% polyamide and 5% elastane. The polyamide prevents the shirt from shrinking in the machine wash (though you still shouldn't wash it hotter than 30°, ideally on a wool cycle). The polyamide also reinforces the wool fibres, making the shirt a bit more robust. The elastane makes it nicely stretchy with a comfortable fit.
The T-shirt comes in two colours: Golden Yellow and Forest. Both are combined with black. A black strip about 10 cm wide runs along the underside of the sleeves down the entire body side. This is pretty clever because you can't see the sweat patches under the arms. The shirt also has a black strip about 40 cm high at the lower back. The idea is that the shirt doesn't look dirty so quickly when you regularly get splashed with mud while biking. And as we all know, you also sweat quite a bit on your back.
Long story short: a well-thought-out T-shirt that you won't only want to wear for paddling.
