Over millions of years they evolved a superfine, highly breathable fleece to protect them from freezing winters & scorching summers. It will do the same for you. What is Merino Wool? Merino Wool is a performance fibre invented by nature & engineered for people. Merino combines the best qualities of traditional wool, synthetics & cotton. It’s soft & non-itch, it’s warm in the cold & cool in the heat, it breathes to prevent clamminess, & it has a miraculous ability to warn off odour – you can run a marathon & still smell as sweet as if you’ve spent the day on the sofa. Temperature Control Merino naturally keeps you warm in cold weather & cool in warm weather Breathable Merino absorbs & releases vapour to prevent overheating & clamminess UV Protection Merino gives you extra protection against the suns harmful rays, naturally No Odour Naturally anti-bacterial, it can be worn for days without washing Performance Qualities Soft Traditional wool is itchy to wear because its coarse fibres push into your skin. But Icebreaker merino fibres are so ultra fine that they don’t irritate your hair follicles
- so no itching or prickling Warm In cold weather, Icebreaker merino uses moisture absorbed from the environment to generate heat (a process called "heat of sorption"). Its crimped (wavy) fibres also contain millions of air pockets that lock in body heat to keep you toasty Cool In warm weather, Icebreaker merino keeps your skin cool by transporting moisture vapour away from the skin to be evaporated. & because Icebreaker merino breathes beautifully, moisture vapour escapes without making you feel clammy The bigger the number the warmer youll be.
