Hi Team Icebreaker,
In September last year we were the recipients of some Icebreaker garments from your “Share the Love” initiative. “Share the Love” gives Icebreaker to people who are making a difference to nature and to each other. We took our two new merino garments to the Californian High Sierra on a 300km long expedition following the ridge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Our aim was to use the trip as a vehicle to explore and communicate (through an educational package we designed) the many branches of science that can be experienced when spending time in nature. Both of us have spent years working in New Zealand’s wild places and both feel a strong connection to the physical environment around us. The dream of creating an educational package where participants learn in a multi disciplinary way while undertaking an expedition was the real nuts and bolts of our trip.
We wanted to say a big thank you for providing the most dependable garment of our wardrobes! We stayed warm, cosy and happy throughout the trip and especially appreciated the fantastic warmth to weight ratio of our tops.
We have attached some photos from our trip showing the garments in action.
Thanks again for supporting our adventure.
