Besides being the most ancient breed of sheep, meri­nos are also the tough­est. The New Zealand meri­no kicks it in the South­ern Alps where a reg­u­lar sheep would freeze to death. Their fleece is durable, breath­able, insu­lat­ing, soft, and light­weight. Ice­break­er has tak­en what nature cre­at­ed so per­fect­ly, mixed it with the most inno­vate tech­nol­o­gy, and pro­duced ath­let­ic cloth­ing that:

• Is excel­lent at reg­u­lat­ing body tem­per­a­ture – meri­no wool keeps you warm with­out overheating
• Is capa­ble of absorb­ing water, but remains warm while doing so
• Has antibac­te­r­i­al prop­er­ties due to lanolin
• Is one of the soft­est fab­rics on the planet

Today, we’re fea­tur­ing Ice­break­er cycling appar­el craft­ed from all-nat­ur­al New Zealand meri­no wool. Shop a selec­tion of bibs, jer­seys, and socks for men and women here.
