Description
The Icebreaker Quantum Zip Hood is made from a combination of Mesh, Lycra and Merino wool. The Mesh can be found under the arms, this increases the breathability of the vest. 98% of the vest is made of Merino wool, this wool is of high quality and breathes excellent! In addition, the wool does not irritate, which ensures a higher comfort. Another advantage of Merino wool is the odor resistance, Merino wool hardly absorbs odors and carries moisture out. The Lycra gives flexibility to the vest, and makes the vest durable.
Due to the high-closing collar, the elastic thumb loops and an extended back, the vest keeps out cold air. The vest is not waterproof.

Merino wool
Merino is an ancient breed of Alpine sheep. Over the years, they have developed a super fine, highly breathable coat to protect them from icy winters and sweltering summers. It will do the same for you.
- Temperature Control: Merino naturally keeps you warm in cold conditions and it keeps you cool in hot weather.
- Breathable: Merino absorbs moisture and also lets moisture out to prevent overheating and a clammy feeling.
- UV Protection: Merino provides extra protection against sun rays.
- Odor-resistant: Merino is naturally antibacterial, so you can safely wear it for a few days in a row.
