Designed for Women
Perfect activewear for mountain biking, hiking, snowsports, and everyday use, the Icebreaker Women's Oasis Crewe has a higher neck to trap in heat where you most need it.
Made from Bodyfit 200 fabric, it has 25% more Merino than Icebreaker's Bodyfit 150, making it warmer and helping it resist odour for longer.
This raglan long-sleeved top has flat sewn seams in the side gusset, which will keep you comfortable and give you greater freedom to move.
Icebreaker garments almost look after themselves, as they don't hold in any moisture. In fact, the known record for wearing an Icebreaker non-stop in extreme conditions is no less than 196 days!

Icebreaker in a nutshell
Kept warm in cold mountain winters, the New Zealand Merino sheep is shorn in summer, and is left with a thin layer that breathes in the heat before the animal bulks up for winter.
That was the science behind Icebreaker developing the world's first Merino wool layering system, based on the knowledge that the Merino wool was created by nature to keep an animal alive in the mountains.
If it didn't work, the animal would die. Ever since then, Icebreaker's role has been to turn this fibre into a clothing system that enables people to return to the mountains.
The challenge to make Merino relevant for another species - the human race - has been won!
Merino wool has many benefits; sustainability, less environmental impact than synthetics and a highly rate of breathability.
Unlike normal wool, its fibres are smaller and do not itch.
Performance-wise it wicks and absorbs moisture, and obviously provides a large amount of insulation for its weight.
And as a bonus, it is much less prone to odour build-up than synthetics...ideal if you need to pack light and don't have many opportunities to do the washing!
