Shop HikingGreat Jacket But Needs More Merino
"I’m a huge Icebreaker fan and got this as a gift. I absolutely love it. It’s incredibly soft, warm and breathable, and I rarely overheat in it. It’s also a fantastic travel jacket, you can wear it casually, dress it up a little, and stay comfortable for hours. My only disappointment is the fabric blend. The main body is 55% TENCEL Lyocell, 36% merino wool and 9% polyamide, and for the price I really wish the wool content were higher. In my experience with the high TENCEL content seems to contribute to the extreme wrinkling and bunching around the arms, as well as more defined warping when the fabric gets damp or moist. With your arms down, it can also look quite billowy. I still really like the jacket, but if you’re considering one, I’d recommend sticking with Icebreaker’s bread-and-butter pieces with a much higher merino content if you prefer better structure, less wrinkling and better performance."
