The brand
Founded in 1995, Icebreaker helped launch the modern merino movement and remains one of the most recognized names in natural performance apparel. The brand sources from accredited New Zealand growers and publishes detailed transparency reports on its supply chain.
Our take
Icebreaker is the safe, premium default. Construction quality and merino purity are consistently excellent, though you pay for the name. The 200-weight Oasis line is the single most reliable base layer we test against.
