Benefits of Merino Wool
- Moisture Wicking: Absorbs vapor directly from skin and releases it outward to keep you dry and comfortable.
- Soft & Comfortable: Ultra-fine 17.5-micron fibers eliminate itch and provide irritation-free, next-to-skin comfort.
- Highly Breathable: Natural fiber structure circulates air freely to regulate body temperature across warm and cool weather.
- Naturally Anti-Microbial: Inhibits odor-causing bacteria so garments stay fresh over extended wear and multi-day travel.
- Insulates When Wet: Holds up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling clammy or losing thermal efficiency.
- Naturally Fire Resistant: Self-extinguishing and will not melt or stick to skin when exposed to sparks or heat.
- UV Protection: Inherent UPF 25 sun rating protects against prolonged outdoor UV exposure.
- Renewable & Biodegradable: 100% natural, low-impact fiber grown seasonally with sustainable farming practices.
