The Benefits

Merino wool is one of the world’s finest and softest wool. It is lightweight, soft, itch-free, resistant to odors — Unmatched comfort and sustainability, making it the most versatile performance fabric.

  • Temperature Regulation

    The thermo-regulation properties of merino wool adapt to your body and external conditions, so you can stay warm in the cold and cool in the heat.

  • Natural Odor Resistance

    Merino wool neutralizes
    unpleasant odors by absorbing odor molecules into its fibers, making them less detectable by the human nose.

  • Moisture Absorption

    Merino fibers efficiently manage moisture, absorbing it from your skin and releasing it into the atmosphere. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in water without feeling wet.

  • STRETCH RESILIENT

    The inherent power of merino wool is its ability to stretch, thanks to natural crimps in its fibers, giving it an elastic-like core and reflexive memory that snaps back into place even after rigorous activity.

  • Fluffy And Softness

    Merino wool can be softer than cashmere, providing a silky smooth texture on your skin.
