What is the Zone Crewe?
The Zone Short sleeve Crewe from Icebreaker is the ultimate active baselayer top and represents quality and superior performance. It works well as a lightweight active top for running, climbing, scrambling and hiking in the summer, whilst also doubling up as the ideal layer to wear under your insulating jacket in the winter.
What is the Zone Crewe made of?
The 150g/m² merino jersey-knit fabric has a smooth next to skin feel that is non-itchy for unparalleled comfort, whilst strategically placed mesh panels improve ventilation and help regulate temperature during high output activities. Icebreaker is one of only a few companies in the world that use the best quality, superfine merino fibres in their garments.
When you are warm the wool transports moisture away from the skin and the evaporation of this moisture helps to cool you down; however, the merino fibres also contain millions of tiny air pockets that retain body heat to maintain your body temperature when the weather turns cold.
Merino wool is naturally odour resistant because bacteria find it hard to hold onto the surface of the merino fibres, therefore it can't sit and multiply to create bad smells. This top also has a small lycra content for extra stretch and mobility making this top is great on multi-day trips as you don't have to pack as many clothes; this is due to the fact that you can wear them for quite a few of days at a time without them getting smelly. Great for active use or everyday wearing.
How does the Zone Crewe fit?
The Zone Crewe has a 'slim' fit which means it's designed to sit snug to your body, without being restrictive. This is so the Crewe can both trap warm when the temperatures drop, but also wick sweat away from your body in warmer climates. The Zone Crewe also has a drop front and tail hem for a bit of extra coverage.
Where does the Zone Crewe fit in the layering system?
The Zone is actually much more versatile than just a summer top - due to its antimicrobial properties it also can be worn as a base layer under your insulating pieces in the winter.
