Neck: Measure around the middle of your neck, leaving the tape loose
Chest: Place your tape measure across your back, underneath your arms and then across the fullest part of the chest
Arm length: Measure from the back of your neck to the top of your shoulders, to your elbow and down to your wrist bone

In instances when your body measurements for chest and height (or waist and hip) are in two different suggested sizes, Icebreaker recommends going with the size from your chest (or hip) measurement.

Merino wool is super lightweight, soft, non-itchy, non-clammy, warm in the cold and cool in the heat, and has a miraculous ability to resist odour. Because it was made in the mountains rather than in a petrochemical laboratory. It's naturally renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.
The smaller the micron, the finer the fibre, the softer it feels. The diameter of a Merino fibre is measured in microns – where one micron equals one millionth of a metre. Icebreaker's Merino fibres range from 15.5 to 23.5 microns to ensure a soft hand feel across our skin to outer layers. Finer fibres feel softer because they bend more easily when in contact with the skin.
Icebreaker next-to-skin layers: 15.5-18.5 micron
Icebreaker mid layers: 18.6-22.5 micron
Icebreaker outer layers: 22.6-23 micron
Synthetic fibres: 30 micron
Traditional wool fibre: 50 micron
Human hair: 70 micron
