Australian Road Rider — Bike Guide 2017

The Icebreaker Helix long-sleeve jacket is a good
alternative to a traditional mid-layer soft shell.
Although not the cheapest option out there,
it is incredibly versatile and most importantly
warm. The perfect fi nal layer needs to be:


  • Light

  • Breathable and regulate temperature

  • Made of natural fi bres where possible

  • A bit slippery to move inside the jacket

  • Very presentable for evening wear

  • High warmth-for-weight ratio

  • Windproof

  • Easily washed and quick to dry

  • Long lived

  • Easy to get a jacket over and off

  • Cosy, with hand-warmer pockets

  • Long in the arms and body.
    The Icebreaker Helix ticks all these boxes.

This is the smallest, most
advanced petrol-cooking stove
available. It uses unleaded
petrol and white gas (Shellite).
The Smart pump design pre-
mixes fuel so no priming is
required. The stoves are cleaner
burning than most liquid fuel
stoves and have wide pot
supports and burner surface for larger pots. All units have a built-in
pressure indicator.
