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

Technologies
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
