The Descender Long Sleeve is a technical women’s mid layer, designed to deliver breathable insulation during cold, high-output days up on mountain slopes and alpine trails. It’s made with Icebreaker’s high-loft textured merino fleece and features corespun fibres, which use nylon wrapped in merino wool for added strength, flex, and a quicker drying time. This construction also includes heat-trapping channels that help regulate body temperature during high-exertion pursuits. The lighter side panels help manage moisture and dump excess heat when you’re descending ski runs at high speeds.
