The Descender Long Sleeve Zip Men from Icebreaker is a merino wool top designed for layering in cool conditions. Its zip-front design and long sleeves make it a versatile choice for outdoor activities where you need reliable warmth and breathability without added bulk.
Crafted from a blend of 84% merino wool, 9% nylon and 7% elastane—plus inset panels with an even higher wool content—this slim-fit top strikes a balance between softness, durability and stretch. The merino keeps odors at bay and helps regulate temperature, while nylon boosts abrasion resistance and elastane allows freedom of movement when you’re on the move.
