"Hahaha!"  I can hear you already: "Is he serious? Is he really doing an underwear review?"

The answer, dear reader, is: “OH YEAH!”

If you knew what I know, you would have already written one. But what can I say, I’ve been pretty busy these days; but not too busy to continue my love for merino wool. We here at altitude-blog.com love the merino. That being said, I’m just gonna step up and say that no one loves it like I do. In fact, if I had any musical talent, I would probably have written this little ditty

I Am Lonely by The Heptones

All my life I was in misery

Then you came along and made everything happy

Read more Merino Wool Underwear Review

Hi everybody,

This week, we at Altitude Sports met up with Réjean Roussy, the manager from the Icebreaker store in Montreal. In this video spot, Réjean goes over some of the technical aspects of merino wool clothing produced by this wonderful company from New Zealand. He also speaks to us about the different Icebreaker lines, as well as the BAA code, their new tracking system, allowing us to know precisely where the wool comes from for each piece of clothing. We learn that merino fine wool is a really interesting option for hot or cold weather because it breathes perfectly. Also, it does not retain body odor, unlike cotton or synthetic fibers. It’s perfect for traveling.

Before sitting back to watch this video, I feel I should mention that Icebreaker clothing is more popular than ice cream with the Altitude staff. This is just one of the reasons we decided to open an Icebreaker concept store in Mont-Tremblant. Also, we wear merino all year long because of how well it regulates body temperature compared to any other fiber. Even those who have problems with regular wool are able to wear it without feeling itchy. Basically, once you try it on, you don’t ever want to take it off.
