The Icebreaker Merino Shifter II Long Sleeve Sweatshirt is a versatile layering piece built for outdoor activities and casual wear. With a focus on natural fibers, it offers warmth and breathability in a straightforward, no-frills design that adapts to changing conditions.
Made from a blend of 60% Lyocell and 40% Merino wool and cut in a regular fit, this sweater brings together the softness and drape of Lyocell with the moisture-wicking, odor-resistant properties of Merino. The TENCEL™ construction ensures a smooth feel against the skin, while the sustainable materials—recyclable, biodegradable, free of plastic microfibers and synthetics—mean this layer won’t leave a lasting mark on the environment when it’s time to retire it.
TENCEL™ is a branded form of Lyocell, a fiber derived from wood pulp using a closed-loop process that reclaims water and solvents for minimal waste. This manufacturing method not only cuts environmental impact but also produces fibers that draw moisture away from the body and dry quickly, helping you stay comfortable across a variety of temperatures.
