200 Oasis Thermal

200 Oasis Thermal

★★★★★

I'm really impressed with icebreaker thermals. The merino wool is soft, warm, and moisture-wicking, keeping me comfortable and dry. They still look great after months of use, they are elite.

Steph

★★★★★

The icebreaker base layer top is so comfortable inside and outside. I'll likely be wearing it daily until next summer. The biggest surprise was I don't overheat when inside so no need to take it off.

Sue

★★★★★

I find the fit absolutely perfect, I love the feel and the breathability of the merino! All my thermals are icebreaker and I'm thrilled that no matter the weather, I'm warm and dry underneath!

SC

★★★★★

200 Oasis is one of the first products I bought from icebreaker years ago and I love it because is highly breathable, it's light and comforting to the skin. They wash easily, doesn't shrink and dry out in no time.

★★★★★

This is my 3rd one. The older ones are holding up great after a year of constant use. They are my go to sweater for warmth and layering. I love them and will continue to update my wardrobe with more. Keep up the quality products!

K.

★★★★★

I LOVE my icebreaker sweater! I wear it hiking the Camino de Santiago and other pilgrim routes in Europe. It keeps me warm. It's easy to wash and dries quickly.

Liz

★★★★★

The favourite of my many icebreaker pieces. It ticks every box: midweight and good for layering under and over, hood, thumb holes, zip pockets, drop hem on the butt, excellently cut and comfortable.

Camino J.

★★★★★

My second mid-layer from icebreaker and I'm ditching fleece for good. It's warm but breathable and prevents overheating (unlike polyester fleece that traps your body heat). I've done a bunch of climbs, snowshoeing and snow hiking in my icebreaker and it kept me warm and comfortable.

★★★★★

I have bought this product again and again over ten years now. This is absolutely the best 100% merino t-shirt available. I've tried all the other brands and this out performs all of them. I wear them summer and winter.

David

★★★★★

The shirt looks great and feels it too. I love wool clothing and Icebreaker makes the best stuff. I got this one to continue expanding my collection as I slowly convert more of my closet to wool. Very happy with this shirt

Dylan

★★★★★

Love the merino fabric and its wearability and washability. It keeps its shape and does not hold odor. I will buy another color soon.

Mo

★★★★★

I have numerous 100% Merino t-shirts, and enjoy purchasing them in a myriad of colors for hiking trips. The fit is as expected and look forward to hiking with this shirt in the very near future.
