I know everyone and their monkey is making products with merino wool but if you haven't tried any of the Icebreaker stuff then go check it out!!

Icebreaker focus is 100% merino. Merino leaves traditional wool for dead. It's soft, strong and machine washable.

But not all merino are created equal. We work with New Zealand's leading high country stations to procure the perfect fibre. Each bale of merino is certified for quality. We test fineness, strength, length, colour and purity.

The conditions are severe. Grazing altitudes are up to 7,000 feet. From this clean mountainous environment comes the best merino in the world.

It's warm when you need it to be warm and cool when you need it to be cool.

The best part? Unlike synthetics, merino wool does not smell. I believe the record is some woman wearing it for 93 days and nights straight through and still being happy with its performance.

Downside? the pricetag is a little hefty but it's worth every penny.
