Icebreaker merino wool is grown in the Southern Alps, a rugged mountain range that stretches like a spine down New Zealand’s South Island.Temperatures soar to 35 °C (+95 °F) in summer and plummet to -20 °C (-4 °F) in winter, when much of the ranges are capped in ice and snow. It’s an extraordinary landscape containing dozens of mountains, thousands of glaciers, ice-carved fjords, forests, alpine lakes and vast snowfields. Regular sheep can’t handle it up here. But merino have learned to hack the highlands by developing a high-tech coat of exceptionally fine wool that is light and breathable in summer, and highly insulating in winter.
