I've had a Smartwool half zip for general use/ base layering/ ect. for about a year now.
Holy frick boys, is this thing great for working out. Keeps me warm, wicks moisture, and I don't stink. 
I want to get some T-shirts for lifting at the gym, but they're at least $50

I sweat like a horse with just a cotton t shirt and shorts. Wool would cook me. You're thinking of traditional wool. Thin merino wool wicks away moisture just as good and or better than any under armour shirt I own. It really adapts to where you're at/ what you're doing. |

Have you ever benched in one? I refuse to bench in UA or other "wicking" materials as I can't get a good set in my upper back in them- by the second rep I slide largely out of position and by third I feel like I am flat backed and about to hit the hooks. Flat bench I have no problem. It doesn't matter what I wear on dumbbell bench, I seem to always find a way to get off centered. I'm hoping the T-shirts are like my half zip and not as "slick" as the UA heat gear or the like. |
