THE FABRIC

WHY MERINO WOOL

INSULATES WHEN WET

01INSULATES WHEN WET

Wool has the remarkable ability to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without ever feeling wet or sticky. In the event that it does become wet, wool outperforms cotton and polyester materials by providing superior insulation.

ANTI-MICROBIAL

02ANTI-MICROBIAL

Merino Wool fibers possess a natural ability to repel bacteria in moisture or sweat, effectively wicking it away. This means you can wear our products without worrying about foot fungus or unpleasant odors.

FIRE RESISTANT

03FIRE RESISTANT

Merino Wool offers excellent insulation against high temperatures and has a natural resistance to catching fire. In the rare event of ignition, it self-extinguishes without melting and adhering to the skin, unlike synthetic fabrics.

THE FABRIC

MOISTURE WICKING

01MOISTURE WICKING

Merino Wool regulates moisture levels on your skin by absorbing any perspiration or sweat from your body, allowing it to evaporate from the fabric into the surrounding atmosphere.

UV PROTECTION

02UV PROTECTION

Leave your sunburn worries behind as you ascend to sunlit peaks. Our lightweight layers provide a UPF rating of 25, while the midweight and expedition options offer an even higher UPF rating of 50+.

RENEWABLE

03RENEWABLE

Merino Wool boasts a minimal environmental footprint and seamlessly reintegrates into the natural world. Shear a merino sheep in the morning, and by afternoon, they're happily grazing their way towards renewing next season's wool clip.

Beautiful quality

I have two 3/4 wool zips from different brands and Merino Tech's is as high quality at a more affordable price. Would definitely buy again.

I'm really impressed with this brand for its affordability and performance. It feels like a hidden gem. This particular piece fits really well, is flattering, and is just the right weight for what I was looking for (a lighter layering piece). For reference I'm 5'5", 150 lbs and the Large fits perfectly. It isn't boxy, falls well below the hip, and even the sleeves are long enough for my crazy long arms. Will be back for other colors and products.

I like the fit of this top and the pattern. It needs to be layered with other items for warmth.

I was looking for something to layer while riding in the winter. An equestrian brand used to make something similar years ago that I loved, but I haven’t seen them since. So, I was trying to find another option. I found these and decided to give them a try. They’re great! Warm enough to layer for very cold days but light/breathable enough to wear alone on mild days. Super soft material and pretty colors. Good price for the quality. I’ve already bought a few in different colors.Not sure how this wears long term or how it washes yet, but I'm hopeful it does well.Also as a bonus - the free socks that come with the shirts are great as well. Those I could see some wear in the heel after one use, but most woll socks do this, so I'm not surprised. Still a nice extra that I'll definitely use.

Understand it is a base layer so you should wear more on top but it’s too itchy for me.

Questions people ask about merino

What is merino wool, and what makes it different from regular wool?

Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and is measured in microns — the thickness of a single fibre. Merino.tech uses 17.5 micron Australian merino, which is roughly a third the thickness of the coarse wool most people remember from old jumpers. Finer fibres bend against the skin instead of pressing into it, which is why merino feels soft rather than scratchy while still insulating, breathing and resisting odour naturally.

Is merino wool itchy?

No. Itch is caused by fibre diameter, not by wool itself. Fibres above roughly 22 microns are stiff enough to trigger the prickle response; ours measure 17.5 microns, well under that threshold. Every piece here is 100% Australian merino with no synthetic blend in the body fabric, so there is nothing rough sitting against your skin.

How do I wash merino wool without ruining it?

Turn the garment inside out, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours, and use a mild or wool-specific detergent. Lay it flat to dry. Never use fabric softener or bleach — softener coats the fibre and destroys the breathability you paid for. Merino resists odour, so you can wear it several times between washes, which is the easiest way to make it last.

Is merino wool warm enough for real winter?

Warmth is set by fabric weight, measured in grams per square metre. 165 and 180 are lightweight layers for runs and mild days. 200 is the everyday weight. 250 covers autumn through proper cold and is the most popular choice for skiing and hiking. 320 is heavyweight, made for standing still in real winter — ice fishing, chairlifts, cold work outdoors.

Does merino wool shrink?

It can, but only under heat and agitation. Hot water and a tumble dryer cause the scales on the fibre to lock together permanently. Cold water, a gentle cycle and flat drying prevent it entirely. Follow that and the garment keeps its shape for years.
