![]() One tank was a cool top for running athletes, made of 93% Polyester 7% Lycra, the other was Icebreakers GT 150 ultra light Shirt, with 97% Merino and 3% Lycra. To test the difference, I brought two kinds of garments along. But when sweat reaches the surface of the skin, bacteria and hormones will start breaking it down, thus making the moisture stink. Isn’t that embarrassing? All you did was sweat and now you wouldn’t know where to hide yourself on the dining table. A 3% Lycra mix ensures the garment stays in shape, is stretchy and active movement flows like how you want it to without inhibiting. They are technical wear where it is especially thin in areas where the athlete normally sweats most. Icebreaker’s highest technical line are found in their GT models. They stay in shape, they don’t sag, they don’t itch when wet and they don’t let you freeze while this interaction takes place. Your cotton will hang like a wet damp rag on you. Since the material transports moisture away from the body, it allows interaction between the air and moisture making you feel far more comfortable than when you are wearing a cotton tshirt. It will regulate your temperature during high activity. But wearing wool in summer? Wool insulates you from the cold coming in, and keeps the heat out. Maybe for the ultra sensitive skin, It may feel a wee bit scratchy in the beginning, but believe me, after the first wash, the garment is absolutely soft and comfortable on your skin. Icebreakers no stinkslogan makes it even more comfortable to know that you won’t have to worry about feeling uncomfortable while socializing after sweating out the whole day with the same garment. Eager to find out if I would feel comfortable in the scorching heat, I set out with my new sheepy garments. I have worn many merino garments on cooler days, but never on a hot summer day. This summer marks the change of the history when summits starts to make a new meaning to me. One of them was me.Įquipped with an ultra light day pack, some water and technical wear consisting of my new merino Run Swift Skort, Sprite Racerback Bra and GT 150 Ultralight Bolt SS Crewe from Icebreaker I was ready to venture the trial I have done often, but never with a summit. And for some, they are crazy enough to make a quickie and run up the mountain on such days. Temperatures soared up to 37° C at average will want to make you lie by the riverside or lake sparsely clothed all day long. ![]() It was an awesome summer this year! Oh yes, and we did deserve it! We had to forget how long the winter stayed on last season and hope it wouldn’t return so soon. ![]()
