Icebreaker Merino 150 Tech Lite III Short Sleeve Polo - Black, Size M

On a ridge trail above the treeline, the sun is warm but the wind carries a chill—this is where the Icebreaker Merino 150 Tech Lite III Short Sleeve Polo comes into its own. Cut for a regular fit in a versatile black, it moves with you on the climb and keeps its clean look when you stop for lunch at the hut. The polo collar and two-button placket give it a smart-casual edge that works from trailhead to town, while the ultralight 150 g/m² merino blend feels barely there against the skin.

Why choose it

Merino wool is nature's performance fibre: it breathes when you heat up, insulates when you cool down, and resists odour naturally, so you can wear this polo multiple times between washes. The Corespun technology wraps merino around a nylon core, giving you the softness of wool with the strength to handle a pack strap or a scramble. The polo styling elevates it beyond a basic tee, making it a true crossover piece for travel.

Ideal use cases

• Hiking and trekking in variable conditions
• Travel and everyday wear
• Smart-casual outings from trail to town

Good to know

Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so you can wear this polo multiple times between washes. The Corespun technology adds durability without sacrificing softness, and the mulesing-free wool ensures ethical sourcing.
