Icebreaker 260 Tech Long Sleeve Base Layer Top Black - M

The Icebreaker 260 Tech top is an ideal medium weight base layer for cold climates, whether you're enjoying a snowy day at the resort or a quiet walk in the woods. Flat seams in the underarms, sides and shoulders improve your range of motion and prevent chafing with rapid movements or when carrying a backpack. It also has a dropped hem for greater coverage.The main fabric is merino wool which comes from Merino sheep. These, unlike ordinary sheep, have adapted to survive the scorching summers and icy winters of New Zealand's rugged Southern Alps. They can survive these extremes because of the incredible natural engineering of their wool. Super light and breathable in summer, it keeps them cool at temperatures up to +30ºC. In winter, they acquire an extra layer of wool on their base layer that protects them against temperatures that plummet to -10ºC. Simple, efficient, ingenious.
