    And then in winter, it's silk socks before the Icebreaker ones.

    Does anyone else wear Icebreaker thermal stuff? It's really great. they now do socks as well as tops and leggings.

    Silk socks and gloves are great - in winter if it's really cold, as well as the silk socks I wear silk gloves under my Spidi's - it really helps, and the silk is so thin you can't notice it.

    Once upon a time I gave a damn and used to keep it flat from the end. 22 flatmates later I could care less everyone else spoils my nice flat butter and ruins my paste so why bother?

    I think it is impartant that everyone fill out the poll so as to answer this vital question. This is science afterall.
    Go for it Sharkey, one day this valueble research may save the world!

    I use to use a cheese slice when I had a fridge that had no butter defroster. Scoop a nice sliver of buter from the top and pour on the syup or honey. Still do when I can find the cheese slice. Anyone else do this.

    I've got 3 Icebreaker tops, a pair of leggings & a pocket hat - all are fantastic. I had problems with my 2nd Tech Top shrinking heaps after the first wash (having had no problems with the 1st one which is now 2 years old) and they replaced it with a new one (which I've been a little apprehensive about putting through the wash frankly, but I'll get around to it). Great service. and a great product.

    We were just talking about silk gloves yesterday evening, but neither of us knew where you might obtain some - can you please tell me where you got your silk socks & gloves? Thanks.

    I squeeze at the end and keep the butter flat, the better half is a middle squeezer and a butter digger, so both of us support the theory.

    Kathmandu. And Icebreaker have a store in the Hope Gibbons Building on Taranaki St, don't they?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Gordons Camp and Ski on Willis and on the corner of Wakefield and Cuba do both Icebreaker and the silk stuff.

    Most of the outdoors-type shops sell them.

    Check out the "Where to buy" page on the Icebreaker Site
