Natural, ethical, sustainable: Icebreaker was ahead of the curve when it was founded on the principle of creating natural garments. It doesn’t get much more natural than the tough Merino sheep, which spends the year in the New Zealand mountains in temperatures that range from -10ºC to 30ºC. “Nature’s solutions aren’t tested in laboratories,” Icebreaker likes to say. But what really sets Merino apart is the softness of the fibres, which combined with its breathability and warmth makes for some extremely cosy and efficient base and mid-layers.
