When winter reveals snow topped mountains, frozen lakes and bitter cold, the updated Bodyfit Range from Icebreaker reminds you that merino wool was destined for moments like these.
On Performance and Design…
There are still those to whom it seems completely counterintuitive to wear wool while pushing your limits and breaking a sweat. Yet as we noted here, there’s a reason that merino wool has been the fabric of choice for heroes and legends of yore.
Merino wool is quick-drying and naturally-antibacterial making this super-soft fabric an ideal layering option for any outdoor enthusiast. Flash forward to modern times and Icebreaker has set out on a mission to perfect merino wool apparel. Towards those ends, the company has upgraded its entire Bodyfit range for hiking, snow sports and other outdoor adventures with new performance-oriented features.
Offset shoulder seams prevent pack rub and seam stacking, enabling Icebreaker base layers and mid layers to layer together like a single garment. A longer length gives a better fit and more coverage, while drop-tail hems prevent ride-up. Most impressive about the enhanced fit is that it accomplishes a closer-to-the skin fit enhancing the garment’s performance in aerobic and cold-weather activities.
The big take-away from our time with the revamped Icebreaker line is this: Icebreaker understands that when it comes to apparel, it’s all about functionality – better temperature regulation, mobility, sweat management, and fit. The revamped Bodyfit line exemplifies the beautiful blend of functionality and real world performance that every outdoor enthusiast will appreciate.
Bottom Line…
Come winter, your layering agenda is just as important as your adventure agenda. The Icebreaker Bodyfit range offers a system of lightweight layers that give you the freedom you need to explore your environment in comfort and wool-tastic warmth.
