Whether you are navigating rugged terrain or enjoying casual outdoor adventures, these trousers offer a seamless blend of functionality and style.
Constructed from a blend of merino wool and nylon, it offers the best of both worlds:
Merino wool provides natural temperature regulation, wicks away moisture and offers soft, next-to-skin comfort for long rides.
Nylon adds durability, ensuring the trousers can withstand tough trails and repeated wear.
Anna Mallinson, Head of Product Management at Mons Royale, explains: “These started from a place of wanting to reinvigorate our bike line with a real focus on bringing merino and performance. We’ve become experts at using merino and wanted to take these bike pants to the next level with a design that was super articulated and balanced perfectly.”
The pants ergonomic fit is fully articulated to move effortlessly with the rider's body. Articulated knees accommodate low-profile knee pads, while strategically placed stretch panels increase mobility for unrestricted movement during climbs, descents or fast sprints. A high back-rise design provides extra coverage and comfort, especially during long pedalling sessions.
Designed with bikers in mind, the tapered ankle cuffs prevent fabric from interfering with chains or pedals for added safety and practicality. Meanwhile, easy-access pockets keep essentials close at hand for on-the-go convenience. The pants lightweight design includes a C0 Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that protects against light rain and trail splashes, while the windproof construction shields against gusts on cooler rides.

For the versatile Merino Blend 800 RealFleece™ Classic Pile LS Zip Midlayer, merino pioneer icebreaker uses a double-sided, brushed velour material and combines two different yarns for even more function and comfort.
This mid-layer fleece offers a responsible alternative to the iconic classic polyester fleece. It combines a nostalgic, adventurous look with modern responsibility by completely eliminating the use of petrochemicals.
For this versatile fleece midlayer, icebreaker uses a double-sided brushed velour fabric and combines two different yarns: a blend of ZQ/RWS certified merino wool and FSC certified TENCEL™ Lyocell. A nylon filament yarn inside the fabric, made from 100% plant-based carbon (castor beans), increases the durability of the midlayer.
What you won't find in the garment is any petroleum-based fibers. Neither the shell nor the lining contains petrochemicals. Due to the construction of the fabric, only natural and plastic-free fibers, Merino and TENCEL™, come into contact with the user's skin, ensuring great softness and comfort.
The midlayer is made from 36% merino wool (18.9 micron) from New Zealand and Australia, 55% TENCEL™ Lyocell from Austria and 9% polyamide from Italy, with 100% carbon sourced from Castor beans (in accordance with ASTM D 6866:2022).
When designing the midlayer, icebreaker focused on a classic look and versatile usability. The garment features two side pockets that are not secured, which feel particularly cosy, and a practical two-way zip for additional ventilation. Thanks to the typical excellent properties of merino wool and TENCEL™ Lyocell and the innovative fabric construction, the garment offers better thermal insulation and breathability, as well as temperature regulation and odor control.
The midlayer is available for men and women and will be launched in August 2025.
