Merino wool neutralizes unpleasant odors by absorbing odour molecules into its fibers, making them less detectable by the human nose.
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.
icebreaker merino wool garments undergo special anti-shrinkage treatment, helping to resist deformation and pilling.
The thermo-regulation properties of merino wool adapt to your body and external conditions, so you can stay warm in the cold and cool in the heat.

"Very light and comfortable."
— Anna P. (5/5)
"I would buy it again"

"These are replacing a 7 year old pair from icebreaker that were also good. These fit a little more snug though. Lighting and soft great to just hang out in."
— Willvan (5/5)
"I wear Merino wool shorts during week long bike tours. I find that other materials become too stinky. I wasn't sure if the blend would hold up the same as 100% but I've been satisfied so far."
— Heff (5/5)
"These shorts are great. Really warm and comfortable. I do not think they're as good as the previous version of these though which are no longer made as they were warmer."
— Bear (4/5)
"I got a pair of these shorts in blue a couple of years ago and literally wear nothing else in the hot weather so needed another pair. I love them!!"
— Dav (5/5)
"To begin, I had to size up to an XL in these…and I normally wear a medium! They are unfortunately a bit shorter than I like, as a straight guy, but the sizing up twice helps with this a bit. The crotch also is much higher than I'm used to in shorts like this (coming from lululemon). That all said…I love the material. I'd like a higher percentage of wool but as it is they're pretty nice! Have bought two more pairs from another retailer."
— Nick (4/5)
"Well constructed, fabric feels and moves great. Sometimes I need a size large in shorts but the mediums fit great."
— Tom (5/5)
"These are excellent every day shorts. Comfortable and durable, like all Icebreaker clothing. I don't necessarily love the colour but they're unique and the wool/quality/fit/comfort make up for that. I would like to buy another pair in dark grey."
— Sunny (5/5)
