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.
Overall rating: 4.48 / 5 from 25 reviews.

— Christine L. (4/5)
"Winter layer"
— Lyn F. (5/5)
"This vest is an absolute winter essential! It keeps me perfectly warm and snug without ever feeling bulky. I usually wear it over a Merino base layer and when I'm skiing, I just add a shell on top. It keeps me toasty without overheating, even on long runs. The fit is spot-on too: I'm Asian, 5'2"", usually between size 8–12, and a Medium is the perfect fit."
— BSuan (5/5)
"I love the combination of materials and fitted design. Its great as an under layer for a windy day but also perfect if its not too cold a temperature outside."
— Shveta (5/5)
"I use this vest when skiing it is warm and thin enough to wear as alayer under my ski jacket on those extra cold days"
— Eddy (4/5)
"I absolutely love this vest. It is beautiful to handle and wear, stylish, flattering and adds just the right amount of warmth on a cool day or night. It even looks gorgeous with a fancy white shirt for a night out. I am buying my wife one!"
— Andi (5/5)
"This Merinoloft vest is handy on a mild day worn on top of layers, or worn indoors to keep warm during the winter. The 2 way zipper is fiddly and low quality for a new IB. The side panels allow versatility to sweat when doing yardwork, though may not provide maximum loft if looking for warmth as an extra layer from inland chill. A temperature rating would have helped for comparing what conditions each item is suited for. I was disappointed IB did not have any merino women's shirts, while the men's selection is broader. I hope IB, like other NZ merino brands will bring back Dawnder flannel and merino shirts for curvy women."

"I love this short sleeve jacket, it's light weight but warm and fits over all my clothing. Perfect for hiking and winter outdoor exercise."
— Annabelle (5/5)
"Love this jacket. Warm cosy stylish Disappointed with the zipper, hard to engage and needs 2-3 tries to zip it up . Not sure why it needs the up and down opening. Option. Is this just My vest or is this an issue on all of this style???? As a result of the zipper malfunctioning, I would not recommend. What a shame??"
— Suzy (3/5)
"Really nice product. I am 5'8"" so I appreciate the longer length. I am slim and normally wear size 4 or 6 on top. Slim fit, but I could get a light sweater underneath. Crisp fabric finish."
