Underwear FAQs
Does merino underwear itch like regular wool?
No. Merino wool used in icebreaker® underwear is ultra-fine and soft, which helps it feel smooth against the skin. It’s naturally flexible, so it bends with your body and won’t cause the severe scratchiness often that can be associated with traditional wool. Even those with sensitive skin find it comfortable enough for daily wear.
Is merino underwear good for hot weather?
Yes. Merino wool is thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep your body cool in warm conditions. It’s breathable and wicks helps manage moisture away from the skin, so you stay dry and comfortable even in humid climates or during intense activity.
Can I wear merino underwear for workouts?
Definitely. Styles made with merino blends like Corespun and Cool-Lite™ fabrics are designed to handle movement and sweat. They stretch to move with your body, dry quickly, and help resist odour which makes them a solid choice for running, training, or long gym sessions.
Will merino underwear stretch out over time?
No. Fabrics like Corespun wrap merino around a nylon core for added strength, helping the underwear maintain its shape after repeated wear and washing. You get the comfort of wool with the durability of performance fibres.
