Winter Hits. Merino Runs. Discover icebreaker’s natural collection for winter running.

From the first breath to the final push, merino keeps pace.

The runs that matter don’t wait for better weather. They start in the dark, cut through cold air, and build momentum with every step. In winter conditions, comfort isn’t a luxury – it’s essential. That’s where merino comes into its own.

For FW26, icebreaker presents its winter running collection engineered to help runners stay comfortable across changing temperatures, intensities, and conditions. Combining the natural performance of merino with body-mapped construction and technical design, the collection delivers breathable warmth, efficient temperature regulation, and unrestricted movement from the first kilometer to the last.

Warm when you step out. Breathable as the pace rises. Adaptable throughout the run. Because when conditions change, your layers should respond.

icebreaker’s ZoneKnit™ Technology

Merino, mapped to your run.

Not every part of the body works the same way, and neither should your base layer.

icebreaker’s ZoneKnit™ technology combines the natural benefits of merino wool with strategically placed ventilation zones that increase airflow where heat builds and retain warmth where it’s needed most. The result is balanced comfort that adapts to changing efforts, helping runners stay focused from steady training sessions to race-day performance.

Whether you’re pushing uphill, settling into tempo pace, or logging winter miles, ZoneKnit™ supports temperature regulation every step of the way.

Key Styles

125 ZoneKnit™ Base Layer

A lightweight next-to-skin layer designed to regulate body temperature in cold-weather conditions while providing the softness and comfort of naturally breathable merino.

Merino Speed Winter 28″ Tights

Technical winter running tights built for cold conditions, balancing warmth, breathability, and freedom of movement throughout every run.

125 ZoneKnit™ Speed 6″

Lightweight performance shorts featuring targeted ventilation zones and natural temperature regulation for high-output efforts year-round.

200 RealFleece™ Descender Mid Layer: Warmth without the bulk

When temperatures drop, runners need insulation that works with them—not against them.

The 200 RealFleece™ Descender is built for movement, combining authentic brushed merino fleece with breathable ventilation that helps release excess heat as effort increases. Soft, lightweight, and completely plastic-free, it provides the warmth needed for winter training without adding unnecessary bulk.

Designed as the ideal mid-layer for cold-weather running, it delivers comfort that moves naturally with the body.

Blue LOOP Originals x Salt Collab

Sustainability is dead. The good news is that something better has taken its place: circularity, a design philosophy that builds the end of a product’s lifecycle into the very beginning of its design.

To bring that idea to life, we joined forces last year with the creative minds at Salt Magazine. Together, we explored the world of denim recycling and drew inspiration from both new and traditional forms of design. The result: a unique limited-edition sweater—just 100 pieces—crafted with fibers from old jeans.

And that matters, because in the Netherlands alone, 21 million pairs of jeans are sold every year. A large share eventually ends up in incinerators or landfills—not because denim can’t be reused, but because recycling it is often too complex and expensive due to the mix of materials. With this project, we show that it is possible—if you think smart from the design stage onwards.

For Salt, we offered a unique behind-the-scenes look at our production chain. Their designers took inspiration from the ancient Japanese embroidery art of Sashiko: a craft centered on repairing, reinforcing, and extending a product’s life. A perfect match with the mindset behind circularity.

In this blog, you’ll read all about the recycling process, the creative design journey, and the inspiration behind this special collaboration. You can now order this one-of-a-kind sweater in Salt’s webshop—but once it’s gone, it’s gone!
