The Ice-Barker is the perfect jacket for senior, thin skinned or fine coated dogs looking for the softest, most natural extra layer of warmth available.

Anyone who has worn and loved Merino outdoor wear for themselves will know how this sustainably sourced, 100% natural fiber works wonders for adapting to changes in temperature, giving excellent warmth to weight performance and naturally resisting odors.

About Merino

Merino wool is one of nature’s greatest gifts, endowed with remarkable properties by Mother Nature and the Merino sheep’s need to adapt to the extreme conditions of New Zealand’s high-altitude environments.

Our Merino fiber is warm, lighter than traditional wools, soft, easy to wear and care for, and its natural odor-suppressing qualities are legendary. Best of all the fibers in the fabric lock in warm air to insulate against cold, and release the warmer air as activity or conditions change to keep the body temperature at a constant, comfortable level. The felted Merino used in our dog jackets also has a moderate level of wind and water resistance.

Natural Merino is a fabulous alternative to synthetic insulation such as fleece products that can become scratchy and smelly over time and may not breathe or warm as well when conditions change.

Care: Merino is a natural fiber so it loves the fresh air. Air your Ice-Barker frequently and wash as required on a gentle-wool cycle or by hand. Use gentle detergents and do not tumble dry. A piece of extra wide packing tape used like strip wax makes an excellent hair remover.
