Icebreaker label: sticky yucky gewy

 Today, after rubbing the back of my neck, a sticky inky substance rubbed off on my hand. Black, gooey. It took a while to wash it off my hand, even longer to remove a big blob from the back of my neck. Needed hot water and soap. I discovered it was the from the label of the Icebreaker top I had been wearing earlier. Gross!





I recall this happening to me a while back with another top so I went through my closet to take a look at the many other Icebreaker tops I wear, found many in a state of fading, two getting into the gooey sticky phase.  Note the various state of breakdown of the inky labels in these photos. 
 


And check out the sticky state of the labels in these two video's. Soon, I'll be washing these off of my neck.

   

Not sure what to do about this. I like the Icebreaker line up and the fact the merino wool is more environmentally friendly as other athletic wear products shed micro plastic. I’m disappointed to discover Icebreaker products shed yucky stuff too. I guess I'll contact them to see if they're working on another labeling technique before I purchase another item.
