Icebreaker’s new TouchLab 1,200-square-foot store will open on January 23, 2012, in the Meatpacking District on Manhattan’s West Side - one of New York City’s premier shopping and dining destinations.

Icebreaker’s TouchLab store will feature the company’s complete outdoor, running, cycling, travel, kids, underwear and city collections, all made from merino wool from the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

Icebreaker opened its flagship TouchLab store in New York City in December 2010. The company has two other US TouchLabs: in Portland, Oregon (home of its US headquarters), and in San Francisco. In Canada, there are TouchLabs in Vancouver, British Columbia, and in Montréal, Canada.
