Where is Icebreaker Merino from?

Picture
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. 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.
