What is the Zone long sleeve half zip made of?
The 200g/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 long sleeve half zip fit?
The Zone long sleeve half zip has a 'slim' fit which means it's designed to sit snug to your body, without being restrictive. This is so the top can both trap warm when the temperatures drop, but also wick sweat away from your body in warmer climates. The Zone long sleeve half zip also has a drop front and tail hem for a bit of extra coverage.
Where does the Zone long sleeve half zip 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.
