In 2021, the environment is our number one concern. Outdoor enthusiasts want to continue to enjoy and explore nature respectfully. Icebreaker merino wool is the ideal alternative to synthetic fibers. Let’s take a look at this natural fiber.
In 1995, Icebreaker's young founder Jeremy Moon asked himself a legitimate question for an outdoor enthusiast: why love nature so much, want to explore it but wear clothes made of plastic?
Merino wool is a 100% natural fiber that comes from merino lambs. This ovine species is one of the most robust of all. It can survive at thermal amplitudes of 30o C to - 10o C. Merino wool is naturally anti-odour which makes it the perfect travel companion. Also, its great capacity to wick moisture and regulate body temperature will help you stay warm at below zero temperatures and cool during the summer.
Because nature inspires them to continue their mission to create environmentally sustainable outdoor clothing, Icebreaker are launching The Plastic Man campaign, to make outdoor enthusiasts aware of where their clothing comes from. The Plastic Man campaign helps raise awareness of all merino wool has to offer in terms of performance but also of its renewable, recyclable and biodegradable properties.
From head to toe, summer or winter, merino wool will be your best ally. When warm weather returns, opt for base and intermediate layers made with the Cool-Lite™ fabric. The combination of lighter wool fibers and TENCEL™ – wood fibers from sustainable eucalyptus plantations – wicks up to three times more humidity than merino wool alone. Cool-Lite™ outdoor clothing for men and women are ideal for active people looking for ultimate comfort. When winter comes back, all base and intermediate layers and accessories are perfect to keep you warm and dry.
Merino wool performs well, even in your socks! The merino wool sock collection comes in different thicknesses, provides maximum comfort and is ultra-durable. Ideal for hiking, backcountry skiing and alpine skiing, Icebreaker socks are an essential part of your accessory collection!
Merino wool definitely performs well. In addition to being ultra-light and easy to carry in a travel bag or hiking backpack, it will keep you warm as well as cool. So, are you still thinking of wearing plastic this season?
