Why choose icebreaker merino wool?

Natural odor resistance
Natural odor resistance

Moisture management
Moisture management

Merino fibers efficiently manage moisture, absorbing it from your skin and releasing it into the atmosphere. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in water without feeling wet.

Machine washable

Excellent quality and comfort. A

"Excellent quality and comfort. A little tight in the chest when buttoned up, so if you have large chest or wide shoulders, you may consider sizing up."

Chris E. (5/5)

Good fit and quality -

"Good fit and quality - a go-to daily wear item which can be dressed up or down - and great for traveling - I have a few in different colors!"

Paul S. (5/5)

I really like the colour.

"I really like the colour. It is comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. However 5* would require the pocket like my other Icebreaker polo."

David N. (4/5)

Merino Poli

"A perfect shirt for travel. Holds its form and is good for multiple wears. I always take a few on euro trips."

Michael C. (5/5)

Great Summer Polo

"My go-to shirt during warmer weather. I have five colors!"

Christopher H. (5/5)

Very nice tee.

"Very nice tee."

4. 5/5 Would buy again

"This shirt has really good breathability and the material feels premium. It fits the body well and wicks away moisture effectively. I also noticed the odor resistance works nicely. The only drawback is that it feels a bit itchy at times, but overall it's a solid piece with good performance. It fits fine. I am 170 lb 5'8"" and ordered a medium."

Patty (5/5)

Disappointing - I returned the shirt

"material much thinner than one from a few years ago. The shirt was ironed/ stretched strangely and the defects looked like they would not iron out. Disappointed but the solid returns policy should ensure that I am not out of pocket. The search for a good 100% merino polo continues…. ."

Parfait pour les voyages

"J'ai fait le plein de polo afin d'être prêt pour mon prochain voyage. Je ne mets que du icebreaker dans ma valise. Léger, confortable et sans odeur, c'est un vêtement idéal."
