Merino 260 Tech Vertex High Rise Legging GRX3 - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“These leggings are my cold-weather staple. The thick merino fabric keeps me warm even when I’m out snowshoeing or skinning, and the wide waistband stays in place without digging in. I love the subtle jacquard pattern—it gives a nod to alpine lines without being too loud.”

Built for crisp winter mornings and deep snow pursuits, the Icebreaker Merino 260 Tech Vertex High Rise Leggings GRX3 are our answer to cold-weather layering. The jacquard pattern takes inspiration from the elevation lines of mountain peaks—perfect for those of us who feel most at home above treeline. From first light trailheads to twilight campfires, these leggings keep us warm, comfortable, and ready to move.

Icebreaker’s thick 260-weight merino fabric delivers warmth without bulk, and its natural odor resistance makes these leggings ideal for multi-day tours or long winter hikes. The high-rise waistband with internal mesh support hugs comfortably, while flatlock seams and a gusseted design enhance mobility and eliminate chafing. We pair them under ski bibs or with a puffy for lounging around the lodge—either way, they earn a spot in our winter rotation.
