What are the 260 Tech Long Sleeve Half Zip?
It's a super comfy, high-performance midweight baselayer to boost warmth in cold environments. Made from luxuriously soft Merino wool, it's naturally breathable, temperature regulating and odour resistant, making it well suited to fast-paced winter mountain sports and more relaxed evenings at basecamp.
What are they made from?
The 260 Tech LS Half Zip from Icebreaker is a lightweight and super comfy baselayer, created from a midweight 260g/m² 100% Merino fabric.
When you are warm, the wool transports moisture away from the skin and the evaporation of this moisture helps to cool you down; however, the merino fibres also contain millions of tiny air pockets that retain body heat to maintain your body temperature when the weather turns cold.
Merino wool is naturally free of plastic microfibres and petrochemical-based synthetics, making it a more eco-friendly choice. The pure Merino fibres are hand-picked for strength and softness to create a luxurious fabric that naturally breathes. It's also naturally renewable, recyclable and biodegradable under certain conditions.
To top it all off, Merino wool is also naturally odour resistant as bacteria cannot hold onto the surface of the fibres and therefore, it can't sit, multiply and create unpleasant smells, making these baselayer leggings suitable to be worn for long periods or multiple days at a time.
What are their features?
The 260 Tech LS Half Zip is constructed with flatlock seams for chafe-free comfort when worn for long periods. Backwards set side seams and offset shoulder seams help prevent friction when layering and working hard for extended periods. The half-zip neckline protects the base of your neck from cold drafts and allows for quick and easy ventilation if required.
How do they fit?
The 260 Tech LS Half Zip is designed as a next-to-skin baselayer and therefore features a 'slim' fit that sits snug to your body without being restrictive. This is so it can trap warmth when the temperatures drop and wick sweat away from your body when you're working hard.
