The Quantum Gloves from Icebreaker are lightweight merino wool liners designed to keep your hands warm as a base layer in cold conditions. They’re meant to be worn on their own in mild weather or tucked under heavier gloves when temperatures drop.
Crafted from 98% merino wool and 2% elastane, these gloves offer a comfortable regular fit that moves with your hand. The blend of materials helps regulate temperature and manage moisture, while the touchscreen-compatible thumb and index fingertips—made with 92% polyester and 8% elastane—let you check your phone or adjust your GPS without exposing your skin to the cold.
Merino wool fibers are naturally durable, recyclable and biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly choice. Their fine structure traps warm air close to the skin yet remains breathable, so your hands stay cozy without overheating. The touchscreen technology is achieved by weaving conductive fibers into the fabric, allowing electrical charge from your fingertips to pass through and interact with touchscreens.

Icebreaker says about the Quantum Gloves
Midweight gloves with breathable insulating performance and ample dexterity, the Merino 260 Quantum Gloves feature touchscreen-compatible tips on the index finger and thumb, and a silicone texture on the palm for enhanced grip. Made with 260gm merino terry fabric with a touch of elastane for enhanced fit, these gloves are ideal for cold aerobic pursuits or layered under shell gloves in harsh winter conditions.
Inspired by nature, icebreaker harnesses the performance qualities of natural fibres to offer an alternative to clothing based on petrochemical synthetics. Merino is an annually renewable fibre that naturally resists odours, keeps you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s not, and lets your skin breathe for comfort all day, every day.
