| Give-N-Go™ Underwear It’s not often I get really excited about… underwear! Mostly if it fits well and breathes and is clean, most of us are pretty happy. That was until I tried ExOfficio’s popular Give-N-Go™ performance underwear. Not only is it extremely comfortable, but it does exactly what it promises, wicks moisture and dries in a few hours. So on longer trips, it can be sink-washed at night and is ready to wear the next morning. It also features what ExOfficio calls a AEGIS Microbe Shield® finish to fight odour and bacteria. These underwear come in men’s and women’s styles and have become a permanent part of my travel collection. For more information visit: www.exofficio.com |
| Men’s ExO Dri™ Dri-release Long Sleeve Crew When it comes to technical long sleeve crews, men have many options. One of the nicest pieces we’ve tried is the ExO Dri made of dri- release™, an engineered yarn, that uses a patented microblend of natural and synthetic fibers to take advantage of the best qualities of both. The garments have a very soft hand, are moisture wicking and quick drying. They also are treated with Freshguard®, an odor neutralizer which keeps odors from attaching to dri-release. Amazingly technical for something that just looks and feels so good! For more information visit: www.exofficio.com |
| Icebreaker SPORT320 – Original Zip I bought this piece as a top to layer for skiing. But the soft merino wool and the really nice cut and styling have me wearing it around the office, on weekend and in general… all over the place! It’s truly a classic. Apparently it’s from the original 1995 Icebreaker collection and is as popular as ever. It come in cuts for both men and women and by the way, despite it’s versatility, it is great on the slopes.

| Icebreaker BODYFIT200 – Oasis Crewe I love Icebreaker gear. It’s so well made. This piece is designed to fit close to the body, and has a higher neck to trap in the heat. All Icebreaker products are made with pure New Zealand merino and I’m confident that this will be soon become one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing in your wardrobe. They come in Men’s and ladies by the way and are great for layering! For more information visit: www.icebreaker.com |
