For people recommending brands like Smartwool, check the labels. Many of their men’s products are only 20% merino.

Consider brands like Decathlon (like REI of Europe, but have US site) for something more affordable but 100% merino.

Look at backpacking cottage companies for other options
$130 is a lot for a shirt you don’t want to damage. I picked up some hoodies to hike in from www.ridgemerino.com when they were cheaper and on sale and put them through their paces fine. Same with shirts from Decathlon.
