Last week, a team of us from Icebreaker traveled from Portland, Oregon, USA to Boulder, Colorado to launch the GT Run and GT Bike collections to a group of 28 editors. To showcase the no-stink benefits of merino, the traveling trio decided to wear their IB GT Run and GT Bike gear from the start of the event to the morning after. We called it the “GT No-Stink Marathon.” Here are a few photos, which document the trip. No nose plugs required!
