Respect the Wool…
So you’re still in the camp of thought that thinks wool isn’t for you?
Vikings wore it while conquering France, Germany and the Netherlands. Sailors wore it while navigating the undiscovered oceans on a world thought to be flat. Roman Emperors wore it while expanding the Empire. Astronauts wear it for comfort in the confines of their spacecraft. Simply put, wool has been the fibre for heroes and legends alike for generations. But you think it’s too hot and itchy for your daily active life?
Well, allow us to introduce you to the Icebreaker Tech T Lite, a lightweight merino wool shirt that will change the way you think about wool.
You can love the Icebreaker Tech T Lite because it serves up a casual, laid-back vibe to your after-work look. You can appreciate it for the incredible comfort the light 150gm merino wool brings to weekends at the Lodge or days on the trail. Admire it because it keeps you dry and comfortable during active pursuits in any weather. But at the end of the day you’ll respect the Icebreaker Tech T Lite because its moisture-managing, funk-fighting, lightweight merino wool simply outperforms any other shirt you’ve ever worn. Did we mention that it’s sustainable and traceable?
Add in the fact that for Spring/Summer 2013, Icebreaker has recruited a diverse collection of guest artists to create some eye-catching graphics on the new Tech T Lite and you can’t go wrong. Each design harkens to the goodness of a life lived outdoors, so even when you’re stuck inside, the shirt inspire you and your colleagues to take an extended lunch break on the trail.
There’s no way around the fact that at $75 a shirt, the Tech T Lite is an expensive piece of apparel. That being said, once you slip into one of these shirts, you’ll instantly realize how obsolete everything else in your dresser has become. The Tech T Lite has not only become the most comfortable shirt in our gear stash, but has even replaced some of the technical t-shirts in our wardrobe.
To help you replace that collection of cotton, Icebreaker is giving away some of its Spring-Summer 2013 shirts, now through May 31.
