Give Icebreaker Merino During the Holidays

Disclosure:  I was provided complimentary Icebreaker® Merino workout apparel in exchange for an honest product review and blog post.  As always, all opinions are my own.

It’s gift giving season and I don’t know about you but I am really excited this year!  I get to shop for all of my loved ones from the comfort of my own home.  YAY!  You can too with the Icebreaker® Merino Holiday Gift Guide.

Give The Gift of Icebreaker Merino #givemerino

Now let’s talk WINTER WORKOUTS.  Do you know someone who plans on hitting the pavement with dipping temperatures or hiking come sleet or snow?  Then I would definitely take a gander at the Icebreaker® Merino Holiday Gift Guide which is chock full of fun collections for all types of athletes (yes if you workout YOU my dear are an athlete in my eyes).

Do you know or have any of these types of people in your life?

  • The Fitness Fanatic
  • The Over Packer
  • The Glamper
  • The Globe Trotter
  • The Snow Bum
  • The Minimalist

Icebreaker® Merino has us all covered (oh yeah a few of these describe me as I am or as I aspire to be).

If you haven’t heard of Icebreaker® Merino here is a little blurb to get you familiar

At Icebreaker, our role is not to create the latest “technical” fibre. Nature has already done that, and without an oil rig in sight. Merino wool was born not in a lab, but in the mountains of New Zealand. The Icebreaker fibre factory works 24 hours a day, on the back of a sheep. Sustainability is at the heart of Icebreaker, and we aim for profitable sustainability — a business model that balances ecology with economy. It’s possible because nature is an astonishing designer. Everything it creates is simple, efficient and beautiful. We believe nature is a powerful force that is within us and around us. We have harnessed this force to become the passionate world leader in merino.

I already ripped through their Holiday Gift Guide and found some very cute items for myself.

My HOT Winter Icebreaker Run Outfit

Do ya like?  This was right before a cold run outdoors at 5:30 am in 30 degree weather.  I went running with BGR! Baltimore and received some compliments on my outfit which was nice.  I was also very nice and warm without feeling weighed down.

Remember when I said a few of those personas fit me or are what I aspire to be?  Well if I had to choose no more than 2 I would select The Fitness Fanatic and The Globe Trotter.  Check out the collections I put together.

    My biggest challenge with winter workouts is to get out the freaking door. And then once out the freaking door, to stay out there, not turn tail and head back!

    Too cold for me to workout outdoors. When I do workout it is always inside somewhere either at the gym or in my home. Very stylish workout clothes! #ProductReviewParty

    My winter outdoor workouts tend to be of the snowboarding variety, but I”m hoping to add snowshoeing to that list this year. 🙂 And I’m still shopping for my hubby, but really just making sure I get him the best gift and waiting for everyone else to finish. 🙂

    I have few aspirations to workout outdoors in the winter. I am just NOT a cold weather person. I try but can’t seem to find a way to enjoy it. Those cute outfits would help but I doubt it would be enough…

    The only outdoor workout I’ve ever done outside is go snowboarding! Being cold and working out is not my jam but I’d wear lots of these cozy items in my nice warm house!

    Cute workout gear! The biggest challenge I have with working out in winter is working out WITH my kids when the weather is bad. During the summer we can just head out and hit the trails for a run, bike ride, or hike. In the winter it is cold, windy, wet and yucky… no fun

    Interesting and nice presentation. During the summer we can just head out and hit the trails for a run, bike ride, or hike. In the winter it is cold,so it is important.
