Information
The Icebreaker Merino 300 RealFleece Descender Long Sleeve Zip Hoodie is a high-loft, technical fleece layer built for cold-weather mountain pursuits where breathability and warmth are paramount.
The Deep Dive:
Constructed using Icebreaker's RealFleece technology, this 300-weight midlayer features naturally brushed merino wool that traps heat efficiently while remaining exceptionally soft and breathable. Strategic channel fleece patterning provides targeted thermoregulation, dumping excess heat during high-output efforts while insulating during cold rest stops. The fitted hood provides extra protection under a ski or climbing helmet.
The Advantage:
RealFleece delivers an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio without relying on heavy synthetic pile. Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature and resists odors across multi-day tours. Flatlock seams prevent chafing beneath a backpack, and zippered hand pockets secure essential gear on the ascent.
