Here at George Fisher we know how important it is to get the layering system right. If you get your base layer wrong then, no matter how much you invest in your waterproof or insulation layer, the whole system will fail to work properly! Warmth and breathability are two of the key factors when buying any baselayer.

Icebreaker is a New Zealand based company that uses pure merino wool to form an effective temperature regulatory system. Merino wool is a much finer fibre than traditional wool, making it feel silky and soft to touch - and it doesn’t have that itchy feeling next to your skin. It has better insulating qualities and breathes very effectively, keeping you fresh and dry without holding odour. There are a variety of weights for summer or winter use, and all of the Icebreaker product can be layered to achieve the right comfort for you without feeling bulky.

One of Icebreaker’s bestsellers is the Tech Top at £65. It can be worn as a next to skin layer or a light mid layer, making it a very versatile garment. This coupled with Icebreaker leggings at £38 maybe the only insulating system you need.
