Icebreaker Helix LS Zip Hood

With the Helix LS Zip Hood, New Zealand-based merino wool specialist Icebreaker is expanding its collection with a sporty thermal layer that is also available without a hood (Helix LS Zip) or as a vest (Helix LS Vest). The properties of merino wool that athletes appreciate have been packaged in a new concept: recycled merino wool serves as an insulating lining between water-repellent nylon and skin-friendly, odor-inhibiting merino wool. We tested how this concept performs in practice on snow, sand and asphalt.
