Icebreaker Kicks Off a Season of Innovation with Bold New Fall/Winter 2015 Collection

Icebreaker has launched its most exciting season ever with a huge range of styles for men and women that take merino innovation and sustainability to a new level.  Highlights from the Fall/Winter 2015 collection include new MerinoLOFT™ jacket styles- the warmest line ever produced by the merino outdoor apparel leader; and a re-engineered collection of mid layer sweaters, hoodies and jackets that are warmer, stronger and lighter than ever. 

“Fall/Winter 2015 is the most exciting season yet for Icebreaker, with the expansion of MerinoLOFT™ offerings for men and women,” says Mark Koppes, Vice President of Product.

“Sustainability and respect for nature are part of our DNA, so making the technological leap that enabled the use of recycled merino in these jackets is a major breakthrough.”

In addition, Icebreaker’s signature Black Sheep collection of fine-gauge knitwear will offer refreshed pieces, with a hugely expanded travel and lifestyle wardrobe, innovative woven shirts and pants, a signature range of artist-inspired graphics, and an expanded range of socks and accessories.

“We’re offering a greatly expanded range of premium merino garments for lightweight winter layering this season,” adds Koppes. “Whether you’re wearing Icebreaker for travel and lifestyle, sports or the outdoors, there is something for everyone in this collection.”
Highlights of the Fall/Winter 2015 range include:

MerinoLOFT™ technical and lifestyle jackets: a new lightweight insulation created from premium wool fibers. Ten percent of the loft comes from merino offcuts recycled from the factory floor and the water repellent shell is made from recycled polyester.

Next generation mid layers: Merino wool is wrapped around a nylon core and then brushed to create sweaters, hoodies and jackets that are warmer, stronger and lighter.

New travel and lifestyle garments: including chunky-knit Black Sheep premium sweaters and cardigans, lifestyle and alpine-inspired sweaters, woven shirts and pants, and a new dress and skirt.

Simon Beck Collection: a signature range of geometric prints based on original designs by internationally renowned snow artist Simon Beck.

Advanced Sock Design: a comfort upgrade in the sock range, with new styles, colours and designs for socks, hats, scarves and gloves.
