Anyone have any experience with any of their products?

I’m considering buying one of their hoodies when they become available again. Their stuff is pricey but apparently it’s worth the cost.

Makes Filson look inexpensive.

Interesting...they have an immense amount of content but, bury the pricing.

I used to sell wool apparel for Vermont based Ibex. The wool sportswear market has steadily grown, mainly a result of less people wearing suits in favor of sportswear, mainly the cheap ready-to-wear stuff (see the racks at Walmart, Target, Kohls, etc). Icebreaker and Smartwool can largely be credited with the revival of wool in sportswear starting in the mid-90's. Curious that they're pumping-up their military customers who've bought their products, relaxed field-uniform policies have largely disappeared for all but certain units; not to mention the NSN pipeline has 20-years of experience now outfitting for higher elevations and winter conditions.

Weatherwool is using Rambouillet Marino, which is a breed that does well here in the US as they can handle the hotter Summer/Fall seasons compared to New Zealand. They use a 21-micron fiber, which is thick; that size is usually used for thick mid-layers and outer layer garments. For styles like next-to-skin shirts, sweaters, suits, etc.. you want a 17-19 micron, most of that textile is coming from New Zealand sheep, where the colder conditions, allow for softer, finer fleece to be grown. I like wool and can appreciate its appearance and performance but, it's limited due to weight and packability. A nice peacoat/over coat is nice however, anything beyond a sweater gets too heavy for me.
