Active skiers who run hot will appreciate the Icebreaker Merino 260 Tech Men's LS Half Zip, which pairs heavyweight merino warmth with a venting zip collar. A technical body-mapped knit holds heat while the half zip sheds it fast on the climb. It is the high-output base layer top for cold, hard-charging days.

Why we like it:

The half-zip collar is the functional win; it adds neck warmth on a cold chairlift and vents fast when you get moving, making heavyweight merino far more versatile. The body-mapped knit keeps it dialed for performance.

Features and Functions:

The 260 Tech Half Zip is built from a heavyweight 260 gram merino in a body-mapped technical knit with a half-zip collar. The merino keeps temperature in check, wicks moisture, and resists odor.

Fit and Sizing:

A trim performance cut sits next to the skin and layers under a shell. True to size, cut for warmth and easy venting.

Bottom Line:

As a heavyweight, venting base layer top for high-output skiing, the 260 Tech Half Zip is best at warm, all-natural performance with easy temperature control. A versatile merino top for active winter days.
