To survive his extreme mountain environment, the New Zealand merino has a thin coat in summer and a heavy coat in winter. If his coat didn’t breathe in summer, he’d die of heat exhaustion. If his coat didn’t insulate in winter, he’d die of cold.
Icebreaker translated this miracle all-weather fibre into a clothing system that gives people the same freedom to push their limits in the outdoors.
Icebreaker merino forms a buffer zone around your body, keeping you at an ideal temperature in all climates and conditions. It’s also lightweight, odour- resistant and soft against the skin – all qualities that will help you to perform at your peak.
Icebreaker garments can be worn solo or layered with other Icebreaker pure merino pieces to create a fine, breathable system that moves effortlessly between the mountains and the city, or wherever your workouts and travels lead you.

SKINS BioAcceleration Technology has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that SKINS BioAcceleration Technology creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 mins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes). You experience less fatigue, minimise soreness and recover faster.
SKINS is body-moulded compression performance equipment manufactured from a unique blend of microfiber and elastomeric yarns, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the smart-fabric covered area of your body. SKINS will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimised.
