We’re a little more mixed on the shorts, though. The outer pockets are easily accessible while on the road, though we’d prefer the center pocket to be opened up a bit more to keep the weight of bigger and bulkier items centered on the back. Breathability is excellent, too, and as promised, so far there’s no odor to report (and yes, we’ve intentionally gone multiple days without washing). The materials used are soft and comfortable in a way that only natural fibers are, and the jersey is proving to be especially cozy, with a slim, refined fit that’s neither skin-tight nor overly loose. We’ve only just begun road testing of our sample gear but first impressions are mostly promising. Men’s shorts are available in standard or bib varieties – women’s shorts are bib-free for now
The icebreaker circuit bib shorts use an 84 percent wool blend, even on the bib straps: Icebreaker Men will get their choice of standard or bib shorts while women will have to settle with just regular shorts for now – but women’s bibs are already undergoing testing.

Women get their choice of three half-zip jerseys: the understated Halo sleeveless or short-sleeved jersey, and the more graphics-intensive SS Rhythm top, all with female-specific cuts that feature narrower waists and flared hems to keep them from riding up while on the bike.Īll of Icebreaker’s shorts use an 84/10/6 merino/nylon/spandex blend to lend a little more stretch plus multi-thickness, multi-density pads provided by Cytech. The mountain-bike-specific SS Roto jersey is offered in both crewneck and half-zip styles, both with single zippered rear side pockets designed for use with hydration packs and looser, more casual cuts. Both jerseys look to have a fair bit of Rapha DNA in their genes, with single color-contrast accent stripes and a similar pocket arrangement, with a slightly narrower center pocket (that’s thankfully still big enough for a lightweight jacket), angled outer pocket and a ringed zipper pull on the single security pocket. The half-zip SS Cadence and full-zip SS Circuit jerseys use traditional cuts (read: somewhere in between ultratight ‘Euro’ and more loose-fitting ‘American’ style) and siliconized lower hems to help keep them in place. Styling on Icebreaker’s new GT Bike jerseys is decidedly subdued Some rapha influence is evident in the single color-contrast stripe – not exactly a bad place to draw some styling inspiration, we’d say.
