Icebreaker - Read ALL about it!!

Read what the press, even our competitors have to say about Icebreaker!

'Icebreaker is ideal for snowboarding. I stay warm all day and don`t overheat or cool down no matter what the climate. Days of -25 degrees C are no problem and I can wear my icebreaker out that night.'

Pam Bell, Olympic Snowboarder

'We were two experienced NIWA scuba divers on our first Antarctic diving mission, faced with the challenge of how to keep warm while diving under 5 metres of ice beneath a frozen lake. The key was to find suitable underclothing that could be worn under the dry suits and that could handle extreme cold conditions and some expected leakage through our suits. We looked at all the options and icebreaker clothing was decided upon. We wore a layered clothing system throughout the day and evening either as diving underclothing or as extreme cold weather outdoor clothing or on its own as a casual dress around base camp.'

Tracey Edwards and John Clayton, Antarctic Diving Mission

'We biked alongside 8,000 metre peaks and conquered 5,000 metre passes. Only in Tibet is it possible to bike within arm`s length of the highest point of earth - Mt Everest. And Tibet boasts the world`s longest downhill from a point of 5,200 metres at La Lung La to below 800 metres in Nepal - in just over 160 kilometres of steep descent. We rode over 2,500 kilometres and wore our icebreakers continuously (day and night) for 90 days, and I only needed one set. Tibet is the mountain biking paradise and icebreaker is the secret to endurance in these extreme conditions.'

'It was awesome here, like standing on top of the world, not a whisper, just your racing heartbeat, and an overwhelming sense of both humility and achievement. And what more fitting place than this to be wearing that incredibly warm and comforting icebreaker gear - as we have always done during our travels over more than 150,000kms thru` 46 countries.'

'I can honestly say that icebreaker is by the far the best product I have ever used for training and racing in. In particular, weight and reliability were paramount for the Everest Marathon as once the race had started you didn`t have any second chances, you just kept going no matter what the conditions were like. The starting temperature was approximately -20 degrees C and the finish line temperature approximately +14 degrees C. Icebreaker kept me warm in the low temperatures and breathed once the weather warmed up over the 42kms. In comparison to the garments worn by other competitors from around the world, icebreaker was by far superior.'

Nicholas Cowie, Everest Marathon 27.02.
