After a trip to New Zealand, Jeremy Moon, the founder of Icebreaker, decided to create technical and sustainable clothing. This innovative brand meets the needs of athletes: finding durable and responsible sports t-shirts for men or women to practice their favourite outdoor activities.
Technical clothing for skiing, hiking, or running is often made from synthetic materials that are not environmentally friendly. Icebreaker, on the other hand, has chosen to offer durable and eco-friendly t-shirts made from merino wool or natural fibres.
Today, over 80% of the merino wool producers working with Icebreaker are New Zealand producers. The rest are Australian or South African. All producers adhere to environmental and social standards to provide the most natural wool possible. For 2023, the brand aims to eliminate plastic in the design of its products.
The Icebreaker T-Shirts are representative of the brand's expertise: technicality, durability, and quality. There are two ranges of Icebreaker T-Shirts: Tech Lite and Sphere. These two models of Icebreaker T-Shirts come in various shapes, colours, and patterns.
The Sphere range from Icebreaker is recommended for your outdoor activities in summer under high heat. The Icebreaker T-Shirts Sphere are made from merino wool and Lyocell® or Tencel® (eco-friendly materials made from wood fibres). By blending merino wool with a natural synthetic material, the Icebreaker T-Shirts will have better drying properties, ideal flexibility, and absolute comfort.
For a trek in high heat, we recommend choosing models from the Sphere range. It is possible to wear this t-shirt for several days during a trek. Merino wool has the ability to neutralise bad odours.
The Icebreaker Cool-Lite Sphere Short Sleeve Crewe uses a combination of merino wool and Tencel®, two natural and high-performance materials. This combination is unique and has been designed by Icebreaker; it is the Cool-Lite™ technology. Very innovative, this material accelerates the drying of your clothes and is extremely breathable. Our HardGuides recommend this range for your next GR20 in summer!
You won't find the quality of Icebreaker merino wool anywhere else. Once harvested, the merino wool is washed several times without chemicals. The Icebreaker T-Shirts are machine washable and do not get damaged or lose shape like some wool products.
If you are looking for a technical t-shirt that is 100% merino, Icebreaker has designed the Tech Lite range. They are very versatile and perfect for treks where temperature differences can be felt. Merino wool has excellent technical properties and is recommended for sporting activities. Just like the Oasis range of Icebreaker merino base layers, the Tech Lite t-shirts are breathable, odour-resistant, and comfortable (merino is a non-itchy material!).
The Icebreaker Tech Lite II SS Tee is the brand's bestseller; it is versatile and offers exceptional comfort. It has everything to please: odour-resistant, offset shoulder seams to reduce chafing, breathable... For everyday wear, it has been designed with patterns that invite travel. Our HardGuides recommend this Icebreaker T-Shirt for a trek like the Tour du Mont Blanc!
At Hardloop, we strive to offer our customers a selection of the best Icebreaker T-Shirts for adventure. The t-shirts, merino underwear, and Icebreaker socks are recognised worldwide for their technicality and quality.
With its products made from merino wool and natural fibres, Icebreaker is a great example of a brand committed to the environment. It is only natural that Icebreaker clothing is found in our HardGreen selection alongside brands that undertake responsible and ecological initiatives.
So don't hesitate any longer and choose an Icebreaker T-Shirt for your next adventures, from family ski outings to more technical summer treks. Go explore new horizons while respecting the environment and animals with Icebreaker!
