Icebreaker Baselayers

Icebreaker base layers keep you warm and comfortable in cold conditions using 100% superfine New Zealand merino wool blended with Lycra for added stretch and flexibility. The breathable fabric wicks moisture away from your skin, preventing dampness and helping regulate body temperature without adding bulk.

Thanks to the natural antibacterial qualities of merino wool, these base layers resist odour even during intense activity, letting you stay fresh throughout the day. Flatlock seams reduce chafing for all-day comfort, while the soft texture feels gentle against your skin.

Ideal for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or everyday winter wear, Icebreaker base layers provide excellent temperature control and freedom of movement. Made from ethically sourced natural fibers, they offer reliable performance for anyone who spends time outdoors in cooler weather, blending comfort and function seamlessly.

Icebreaker base layers are made from superfine merino wool sourced from New Zealand. This natural fibre is soft, breathable, and odour-resistant, providing excellent temperature regulation. Unlike synthetic or cotton alternatives, merino wool keeps you warm in cold conditions and cool during intense activity, making it ideal for a wide range of outdoor adventures. 

Icebreaker base layers are available in different fabric weights, indicated by a number (e.g., 150, 200, 260). Lighter weights (120–150) are best for warm or high-intensity activities, midweights (200–240) suit moderate to cool conditions, and heavyweights (260+) are ideal for cold weather and winter sports. Choose based on your activity and climate.

Icebreaker offers three fits: slim (close to the body for efficient layering), regular (neither snug nor loose, suitable for solo wear or layering), and relaxed (looser for added comfort). Selecting the right fit ensures optimal moisture-wicking, warmth, and mobility for your chosen activity.
