A high performance base layer, the Icebreaker women's merino wool long sleeve Chakra Zip Bodyfit active base layer is both simple and natural. Icebreaker Merino wool is perfect for keeping New Zealand high mountain sheep comfortable and happy, and it works well for humans too, insulating for warmth in the winter, and breathing and wicking to keep cool in the summer. The lightweight material has ultra fine fibers making it feel soft and not itchy. Icebreaker merino wool resists odor naturally so you can wear it for days or even weeks without washing it - and when you get to it, it's easy care: machine wash cool and line dry. This material offers sun protection (UPF 50+) and resists static electricity build up so it won't cling like synthetic materials often do. Design details on the Icebreaker Chakra Zip include raglan sleeves and forward side seams to prevent chafing, gussets for flexible mobility, and flat sewn seams for next to skin comfort.

Industry Review:
Eco Stylista, The Eco Friendly Fashion and Beauty Blog Assessment:
For the women who run and row, and swim, and whatever else in the all weather conditions including the current frigid one, the right sportswear is incredibly important. So thank goodness there's Icebreaker, a New Zealand brand . . . with the first sustainable and ethically manufactured, directly-sourced outdoorsy wear made out ofMerino wool? It sounds odd, we know, but believe it or not, pure merino fibre is highly breathable and wicking, helping to prevent the clamminess often associated with synthetics-made outerwear. It also prevents odor for day, or even weeks GÇô not that ladies ever sweat, of course and protects the wearer from the sun's rays in its silky soft fabric.
Time Magazine Business Assessment:
New Zealand's merinos produce a wool that has a very fine diameter, which makes it soft and breathable yet with high insulation value for warmth.
London Financial Times Assessment:
It's about simplicity and being natural and being long lasting.
