Deciding on the Icebreaker thermal clothing for you!

Icebreaker have a wide range of clothing perfect for all activities and lifestyle. Due to their huge range, our customers sometimes find it difficult to choose which item is the right one for them so we've created a blog with a handy guide for you!

Every Day Pieces

If you're looking for an every day thermal base layer where the main function of the item is to keep you warm then we would recommend the Everyday Range. Perfect for wearing under work clothes, walking the dog, watching the kids play football etc. This range is 200gm and is available in short and long sleeve tops, half zip sweaters and leggings.

If you're looking for something more technical that can be used for all cooler weather activities such as Skiing, Snowboarding, Hiking, Rambling, Climbing, Running, Cycling, as well as for wearing under your every day clothes then the Oasis Range is for you. This range is 200gm and is available in Underwear, Short and Long Sleeve Tops, Half Zip Sweaters and Leggings.

For use in colder weather we would recommend the Tech Range which is a thicker weight at 260gm. For Women we also stock the Vertex Leggings

Remember with Icebreaker Merino Wool Clothing, the higher the weight, the warmer you will be.

If you're looking for a thicker and warmer, more casual sweater there's also plenty of choice. The Original Long Sleeve Half Zip for men is made from a warm 320gm 100% merino wool and features a classic sweater styling. For women we highly recommend the Dia Pullover Hoody which is made from a cozy 200gm RealFLEECE fabric made of 87% merino wool, 10% nylon and 3% lycra.
