Tis the end of the Winter season so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to pick up some Merino wear on special. Heard Ice Breaker was a good brand but their items are going for $150 a pop at torpedo seven..!! Has anyone seen these go on clearance? Happy for any suggestions on different brands/ideas etc., thanks!
Mens Merino Long Johns and Base Layer Top

Definitely recommend trying them on yourself as I find the mix (80%+ Merino + Synthetic) material less itchy for my upper body.
I got a couple of sets for snowboarding.
I personally prefer IceBreaker and Mons Royale.
Icebreaker online store goes on 50% sale couple of times a year.
Mons Royale normally only drop down to 30-40%. Seen them close to 50% at Torpedo 7 but rarely.
Find out the weight you are after. I got my Icebreaker in 200 weight BodyFitZone from Bivouac Outdoor at 50% off.
My partner got Mons Royale Cascade from Torpedo 7.In my experience, Merino is quite stretchy so a size smaller can often still fit pretty good. Something to be aware of if you find something you like but isn't your normal size.
Mint suggestions & feedback - cheers all. Copped myself some merino leggings from https://www.outdoorsman.co.nz/ … what a steal! Still on the hunt for some merino top base layers. Bit tricky getting the right size at the right price
100% merino just gets holes if lightweight so get mix if going lightweight fabrics

This online store has some good prices. Hard part is finding something you like the look of in your size
