How to Layer Merino Wool
6 reasons to choose merino wool
-
Temperature Regulation
An active fiber that thermoregulates
Merino naturally keeps sheep warm in temperatures as low as -4℉ and cool in temperatures up to 95℉, making it the perfect choice for performance apparel as it reacts to changes in your body temperature. The natural crimp in wool provides durability and elasticity, while hydrophilic properties wick moisture and thermoregulate the body to naturally cool or insulate you relative to ambient outdoor temperature.
-
Moisture Management
Merino won’t sweat it
The ultra-fine merino fibers we use in our apparel are naturally breathable, which helps prevent you from feeling clammy, damp, or sweat-soaked when you’re exercising. While synthetic fabrics can wick away sweat, merino keeps the body cool during exercise by trapping that moisture and releasing it as vapor before it even condenses on your body.
-
Natural Deodorization
Minus the unpleasant odor
Even if you wear your merino layers for a whole week on a grueling trek, you’ll be able to drink a celebratory pint at the end of the trail without bringing a cloud into the pub. Lightweight merino is an ideal layer for seasoned travelers, commuters who don’t want to change after their rides into work, and anyone hitting the road with limited luggage space or no time for laundry.
-
Unbelievable Softness
Incredibly Comfortable
What is Merino wool better at than traditional wool? It’s super-fine and soft. A single Merino wool fiber is ⅓ the diameter of a human hair. It’s so fine, actually, that when it brushes up against skin, it bends out of the way. It can’t be prickly like other wool fibers because it can’t stand up to the weight of itself. So it’s soft. Really soft.
-
Natural Sun Protection
Ever Seen a Sunburned Sheep
Merino fabrics are naturally resistant to UV rays without the need for chemical treatments. Our chunkier mid- and heavyweights offer UPF 50+, while our lightweight range offers around UPF 25. That means that while your muscles might feel the burn as you push for the summit, your skin most certainly won’t.

100% Climate Positive Wool Sourced
Merino wool is Natural&Sustainable
Because our Merino Wool grows perennially on our sheep's backs–no different than the hair on your head–Merino Wool is widely considered the world’s most sustainable fiber. Our premium Merino Wool fleece is shorn once a year by skilled shearers. The sheep’s wool grows back over the course of the following 12 months, producing a new batch of fiber destined for Climate Positive clothing material.

I've never had anything as 'nice' as these. The thermal underwear sets I've used have been really bad in comparison. These are super soft, surprisingly comfortable and they work great as a base layer. I also feel like I can wear the top like a normal shirt and just go outside without anything over it and it doesn't look weird. I have no way to tell if it's really 100% merino wool but it does have it listed right on the fabric as such. Today I went out in 40 degree weather with the base layers, a pair of sweatpants, and a zip up hoodie that I left unzipped and was comfortable. It doesn't do much to cut down on the wind, but otherwise I was good to go. I didn't overheat either. I wore them inside and had the thermostat set to 65, same sweatpants, and a different, sherpa lined hoodie and was comfortable. I ran into only one problem. When taking the bottoms off I have to be very careful and make sure I'm not wearing socks when trying to take these off because they don't have a lot of give and can easily pop stitching if you're too rough. Be very very gentle, and these should last you a long while.

Never used this quality of wool before. Feels like a second skin. Super light but comforting. People will ask of I am wearing enough in the winter lol
