"Icebreaker is superior in every way to anything I've ever worn. i wore it for 40 days and 40 nights and it didn't itch or get whiffy. "
"The icebreaker garments are fantastic. THEY HAVE PERFORMED WAY BEYOND ANYONE'S EXPECTATIONS. I think there were those in the crew who might have thought I was extolling the virtues of icebreaker too much at the beginning of the trip but no longer. They are now all converts. I wear my icebreaker under my wet weather gear, under my dry suit when diving, round the boat, and to bed at night."
"When you are among the icebergs, driving hard for a world record, the last thing you need is to haveto strip to change your grundies. I didn't change my icebreakers for 40 days and 40 nights. They didn't itch at all, were comfortable at all times, were very warm, didn't get whiffy (as most polyprop does after a few days) and dried quickly when damp... Icebreaker is a real breakthrough for sporting and outdoors people who want minimum bulk and maximum protection against the elements."
Icebreaker was born in 1994 after the late Sir Peter Blake set a world circumnavigation record wearing our first Bodyfit 260 prototype. He was so excited he wrote us this endorsement and gave it to us free. This gave us the confidence to launch Icebreaker thermal underwear, and we've been experimenting with Icebreaker merino in the outdoors ever since.
Thank you, Peter.
