Warm and comfortable, this Icebreaker base layer is great for the coldest months of the year. A go-to piece for winter layering, it is warm for ski days, snowy hikes or any other cold-weather outings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been pairing this with one of my other icebreaker undershirts & it's great at keeping me warm without overheating. It works great on its own as well. Unlike other turtlenecks, the sleeves reach all the way to my wrists & the main body of the shirt is long enough to tuck into my pants without lifting up when I move around. The wool is a little scratchy, but I know that's because the shirt is still new & I'm not used to it. I'm very happy with this shirt & excited to continue expanding my wardrobe with other icebreaker products.
I live October to April in my black turtlenecks! I have several. Ski slope, mountain biking, to dinner and shows, they are rotated. Comfortable, practical and elegant. A little disappointed in the thickness of my new ones made in China. I'd rather pay the extra $20 as in the past, and have a better quality, typical of the 260 and n the past. Will see how these wear. Some have worn better than others in the past. But, so excited to add a couple more to my Icebreaker collection.
I want to give this 5 stars so badly! I LOVE it... it is the warmest base layer that I own. I notice a big difference in my warmth when I wear this versus any other base layer I have. It is soft, comfortable, and very flattering. It's nice and thick, soft, and the quality is excellent. But I didn't give it 5 stars because the sleeves run a little short. If the sleeves were longer, I probably would have bought multiple others.
The base layers keep me warm during winter hikes and even during ice fishing. Breathable and does not get smelly like synthetic layers. For being on a boat without too much movement during cold months I would need a warmer base layer. But I get chilly easily. Great for everyone who wants to be active during the winter, from beginners to avid hikers. Good for the environment.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've recently discovered how great merino wool is and have now purchased a number of Icebreaker merino wool tops. They are very soft and comfortable to wear. I hand wash them and dry them on a drying rack. They get softer with each wash. The fit is flattering and they don't lose their shape while wearing or after washing. I highly recommend these shirts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a tad big . Variable sizes from 18-20 usually fit but can be tight . I believe I got the biggest ladies size and the neck went over my head and it did not throttle me. I bought the biggest fusha(bright pink) ladies icebreaker with thumb holes and it feels claustrophobic around my neck and that was xl too
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Soft, warm, durable. I size up, since I prefer a slightly looser fit. If Icebreaker made these in more colours, I would keep buying new ones. If they made more products with this style of low turtleneck, I would buy them.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Long time crew neck purchaser, adding this to daily cool weather uniform. The extra merino weight adds desired warmth without bulk, especially around the neck. The neck stands up, doesn't need to be folded over.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product fits me perfectly and is great for a base layer. I wouldn't wear it alone bc it is too form fitting for my taste. It is very soft and not too tight so that you have to squeeze to get into it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a small older woman, now living in Florida. Winters are so mild in FL that we don't talk about it but it's chilly many mornings & evenings. I wore this thermal top and was comfortable all day long!
