The New Zealand Concept

Icebreaker is based in Wellington, New Zealand. This vast mountainous country with its unspoilt natural spaces attracts hikers and skiers from all over the world. It is also the land of sheep, so merino wool naturally features in the making of men's thermal base layers and women's thermal base layers. This is the case for the Oasis T-shirts, available in both short and long sleeves for men and women, made from 100% merino. Designed for outdoor use, special attention is given to flat seams that won't cause discomfort when wearing a backpack. The brand's designers are all outdoor enthusiasts themselves, ensuring genuine motivation behind every product.

Essential Cold Weather Accessories

All cold weather clothing and accessories can be found at Icebreaker. Women's leggings and men's base layer bottoms are made entirely from merino, a natural material that keeps you warm without making you sweat. A wide range of Icebreaker socks is available for skiing and hiking, featuring anti-chafing finishes and reinforcements at key points on the foot and ankle. Merino wool gloves and liners provide effective protection from the cold while allowing finger dexterity. The Icebreaker neck gaiter and Icebreaker beanie in merino are perfect additions to your ski outfit for better insulation. The Oasis Balaclava offers full protection from the cold by covering the entire head and neck, and can be worn under a helmet as it is warm yet thin and lightweight. The same care in manufacturing and design is applied to every item created by this leading outdoor equipment brand.

Build Your Icebreaker Outfit for Every Season

Icebreaker collections are mainly distinguished by the weight of their merino wool, allowing you to adapt your outfit to the intensity of the cold and your activity level.

As a Base Layer

Icebreaker women's technical clothing and Icebreaker men's technical clothing form the foundation of your outfit, worn directly against the skin to benefit from merino's thermoregulating properties.

For Extra Warmth

An Icebreaker fleece worn over your base layer adds warmth for the coldest outings or rest stops, without sacrificing the breathability of merino wool.

Icebreaker FAQ

Can you wear an Icebreaker garment for several days without washing?

This is one of the advantages of merino wool: its natural properties limit odour formation, allowing you to wear it for several days in a row during a trek or trip, even without daily washing.

How do you care for merino wool clothing without damaging it?

Wash at a low temperature with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener to preserve the fibres. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can felt and shrink the wool.

Can the Icebreaker beanie or neck gaiter irritate the skin?

No, the merino wool used by the brand is finer than traditional wool, making it comfortable even in direct contact with sensitive areas like the neck or ears.

What is the difference between Icebreaker collections in terms of fabric weight?

The collections are mainly distinguished by fabric thickness: lighter models are suitable for intense activities, while thicker ones are designed for colder conditions or more static use.
