icebreaker560 RealFleece Elemental II LS Zip - Merino Fleece jacket - Women's

The thermometer shows negative temperatures at the base of the north face, but the desire to climb remains stronger than the winter chill. To face these conditions without turning into an icicle, a robust mid-layer is essential. The 560 Realfleece™ Elemental II jacket stands out as a choice ally when the effort intensifies under a frosty sky, whether in ski touring or committed mountaineering.

The strength of this piece lies in the use of Realfleece™ technology. Unlike traditional synthetic fleeces, this uses brushed Merino wool. It’s an exceptional natural insulator that traps heat while efficiently wicking moisture when your heart rate soars. Its high density protects against biting cold, while its thermoregulating properties prevent overheating during the most physically demanding technical sections.

Attention to detail is omnipresent: articulated sleeves allow full movement during rope handling, and the dropped rear hem protects the lower back from treacherous drafts. The zip is cleverly protected to prevent chin irritation, a valuable feature after several hours of exertion. By favoring natural fibers, Icebreaker offers a durable piece that minimizes its impact while ensuring top-notch thermal performance.
