Icebreaker mens merino 560 Realfleece Elemental II long sleeve zip jacket Product Information

The Realfleece 560 is a heavy-duty, Merino wool, mid-layer jacket. Now there is nothing like merino when it comes to layering. Merino is particularly unbeatable when it comes down to a ratio of insulation to bulk. This jacket will be as warm as a duck-down jacket, but it wears like a super-light cardigan. It is also incredibly comfortable. The top feels as though it contains Elastane, but it doesn’t; it’s 100% Merino.
 
The beauty of this top is that you could wear it through the winter months for commuting. It would be incredibly effective, but it is smart enough to wear to the fanciest restaurant. This really is an exquisite bit of kit. In fact, some might think that it’s simply too nice to wear on the bike.
 
Of course, it also does all the stuff you would expect of Merino. Wick moisture away from the skin to aid sweating. But at the same time it can hold a huge amount of moisture without the wearer feeling wet. It’s these qualities, in addition to its ability to retain heat, that make Merino so effective for layering. Oh, and you can wear merino time and time again before it becomes smelly. perfect for commuting!

Andrew D-based: Really like it - on and off the bike

The Icebreaker 560 Merino jacket is a great piece of kit - very warm and less bulky than my Klim Maverick under my Stadler jacket. Wore it yesterday at 7C with a long-sleeve synthetic underneath and a Klim Windshirt also great! over - was just fine and the combination really isnt bulky. It is easier than putting two half-zip Icebreaker tops on as well. Also use it off the bike - just right in a cold football stadium for instance. Combines well with either the Klim Maverick or the Windshirt for casual wear. Will buy a spare at some stage, as prefect gear always gets messed around with or just disappears sooner or later!

Nigel: Icebreaker 560 Realfleece

Whilst this is not the cheapest warm base layer, I prefer it to my Klim large and Rukka XL fleeces. It is more compact and slimmer under a jacket. Is well made and fits me very well. I am 62, 15 stone with quite broad shoulders and long arms. The XL fits me perfectly with out being tight. Most of all it is very warm. Ice breaker products are worth the money in my opinion.
