Merino Wool Running Clothing

Stay light, dry, and comfortable with icebreaker’s merino wool running clothing and accessories. Designed for breathability and performance, these layers keep up with every stride, from short jogs to endurance trail runs. Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature, keeping you cool in the heat and warm when conditions change. The lightweight fibers move moisture away from the skin to help prevent chafing, while the odor-resistant properties let you go longer between washes. Whether training on the road or tackling rugged trails, these layers provide the perfect combination of softness and durability. The collection includes a variety of styles, including merino t-shirts, running shorts, tights, and socks. Layer with lightweight mid-layers for cooler temperatures or pair with breathable merino base layers for all-season performance.
Merino Wool Running Clothing FAQs
Q: How does merino wool help prevent chafing while running?

A: Merino wool naturally moves moisture away from the skin, reducing friction that can cause chafing. The superfine fibers provide a soft, smooth feel, preventing irritation even during long-distance runs. Seamless construction in many styles further enhances comfort by minimizing rubbing and hotspots.

Q: Is merino wool running gear suitable for hot weather?

A: Yes. Merino wool is highly breathable and adapts to body temperature, helping to keep you cool in warm conditions. The fabric efficiently moves moisture away from the skin, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly and keeping you dry even on hot, humid runs.

Q: How do I layer merino wool running clothing for winter training?

A: Start with a lightweight merino wool base layer to regulate temperature and manage moisture. Add a breathable mid-layer, such as a merino wool half-zip, for extra warmth. Finish with a wind- or water-resistant outer layer to protect against the elements. Pair with thermal running tights, wool socks, gloves, and a beanie for full coverage in cold conditions.
