There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Size is pretty good fitting. It's not athletic cut but not baggy either. I'd say it's a good comfortable fit. BUT it is not soft at least to me. Since this is the only merino T I have it's hard to say how soft or itchy. It does itch a little bit and I found myself scratching a few times. It's not bad but it is a minor inconvenience. I'd like to know what others feel like.
Tested it by running 4 consecutive days without washing. I sweat... a lot. So it didn't smell at all. I had to wash it only because of the sweat steaks. It does wick sweat well but gets clammy. Does dry out in a few hours.
So for keeping odor at bay and looking cool, I'm willing to forgo the minor inconvenience of it being a bit itchy.
