Icebreaker

An introduction to the merino wool that would later launch his business wasn’t something the founder of Icebreaker expected from a 1994 meeting with a New Zealand sheep farmer. But when he felt the merino wool, he realized its lightweight, non-scratchy and washable warmth was a great alternative to both synthetic fabrics and traditional wool for clothing items like long underwear and performance shirts. He launched Icebreaker in 1995 and began selling merino wool clothing including long underwear, thermals and wicking T-shirts. Most of the merino wool Icebreaker collects comes directly from New Zealand, and Icebreaker has forged deep relationships with the farmers who care for the sheep. Rest assured while wearing Icebreaker merino wool clothing that your garments are of the highest quality and ethical standards.
