icebreaker AW24 Range is stylishly sustainable

In a world cluttered with synthetic fibres and environmental concerns, icebreaker emerges as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the realm of performance clothing.

Born in the heart of New Zealand, this premium brand is not just about fashion; it’s a movement towards conscious living, offering elite performance wear with a radical twist – Merino wool without the plastic.

Icebreaker caters to the discerning adventurer, crafting garments that are not only beautifully designed but also engineered to harness the natural properties of Merino wool. From temperature regulation to odour control, icebreaker’s apparel ensures unparalleled comfort during even the most demanding outdoor pursuits.

Founded in 1995 in Wellington, icebreaker has been a pioneer in the natural, ethical, and sustainable garment industry. With a commitment to eliminating plastic from its range, the company openly shares its journey towards sustainability. Currently, icebreaker stands at an impressive 96.14% plastic-free, utilizing bio-based materials like corn and castor bean oil for its polymer fibres.

icebreaker’s Global Director of Materials and Innovation, Jordi Beneyto Ferre, leads the charge towards a plastic-free future. He emphasizes a shift towards natural materials, harnessing the inherent properties of Merino wool for performance benefits. Comfort reigns supreme, with garments designed to be versatile across various activities, from running to mountain hiking to snow sports.

Icebreaker’s AW24 collection introduces a host of new additions, including innovative pieces like the ZoneKnit™ Seamless collection. This seamless range, crafted from Merino, Tencel, and Lyocell, epitomizes elevated performance wear, featuring an array of activewear essentials for women.

The collaboration doesn’t stop there. Icebreaker prioritizes traceability and ethical sourcing, working closely with The New Zealand Merino Company and participating in the ZQRX regenerative program. Partnerships with suppliers like James Hore and Liv Shaw, who farm Nokomai Station in Southland, ensure top-quality Merino wool while promoting biodiversity and responsible land management practices.

As consumers increasingly seek sustainable alternatives, icebreaker stands at the forefront of the movement, offering not just clothing but a lifestyle rooted in environmental stewardship. With its AW24 range, icebreaker invites adventurers to embrace the journey, knowing that every step taken is a step towards a greener, more sustainable future.
