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

Lightweight and easy to layer

I’m 5’7”, 170 lbs and ordered a large. They had more room in the waist/hips. I could have sized down. I think they are easy to layer under pants for warmth. Great value!

Fabulous merino pants! Fit like joggers on me

It’s hard to wear any other legging or pants since these arrived from merino tech. They are soft, comfortable and look perfectly acceptable to wear out with a longer top. I’m 62 years old, 5’6 and weigh 160ish. I ordered a large. I might try an extra large to see if it makes them more like sweat pants. A medium would likely fit like a traditional legging or base layer pant. I think I need a few more colors because otherwise I’m living in these black ones.

Disappointing

Im vertically challenged 5'2" and about 150lb. I bought an XL. They feel very silky-nuce. But they are very light weight. I'll use these sitting around indoors. They would not hold up outdoors. The fist time i wore them a found a tiny hole in the knee area, which the second time worn is enlarging. The fit was very loose in the legs (comfy) but ill fitting for pants, which is what they are called. The legs are wayyyy long and have like a cuff at the bottom. If the 80s leggings come back I'm all set! You decide. To me not work 60 bucks

Warm and cozy

I took these on a Botswana safari in August. Slept in them every night and wore them under my pants most mornings. Now I’m back home in the PNW and I find myself wanting to wear them to bed every night. So I’m here to buy at least one more pair. They seem to get softer every day.

Very soft, but sizing is a little off

I bought 250 weight Women’s Pants, size S. I first want to be clear these are very soft and I can already tell they will keep me toasty warm. Warm and soft is the goal, so that is great! However the sizing is bit strange. I bought S because of other comments that suggested XS would be too tight in the waist. That was a good decision, as the following will prove. I am 4’11” and the pants are very long on me (I have to roll them up at least 4 inches). They are also a bit baggy along the whole length of the leg, whereas I was expecting something with a more legging-style fit. However despite the loose fit in the legs, the waistband is VERY tight! Too tight. And I weigh only 109 pounds. I am a small person. That super-tight waistband does not compute paired with the loose long legs of these pants. I thought about returning them but decided instead I will cut open the waistband and sew on an extra two inches of elastic to the waist, which should make them wearable.

Good stuff but...

My wife's merino wear is nice but we had to get medium weight because heavy weight in the pullover styles are all sold out out. The same with some men's wear. So, I wont be purchasing anymore until stock levels are are back up.

A well-made, warm product. They do pick up quite a bit of lint. The waist is just right, but really another inch or two would be more comfortable. The legs are slightly baggy at the bottom. I expected a more sleek fit. Seem to have washed well. Better price than a lot of alternatives online.

Excellently Made

I am 5'10" and weigh 133. I ordered the large according to the size chart. When it arrived, it was too small. The waist is 14 1/2" flat = 29. I ordered an XL and sent them back.

The XL waist is 15 1/2" flat. 28" crotch to bottom. Waist to bottom is 40" ~ far different from what the size chart says. Also the waist to the crotch is 12" so for me it sits below my waist line. I highly recommend these leggings. They are warm and feel great. I bought a pair in 2022 but wore them out and needed another pair.

Soft, very comfortable to wear in winter for PHX AZ

Very soft and comfortable. I wear them mostly as pajama pants and they keep me warm but not too warm. I like the way merino wool tempeture regulates. Will buy again when on sale.

Keeps me warm

I’ve lost a fair amount of weight and now have the problem of getting warm. These do the trick. Wear them under a T-shirt or usually a sweater and I’m finally warm. Great product for a great price.

Best winter longjohns EVER!!

I have been living in my new 320 merino longjohns. I got another pair just so I could wash the first without freezing!
I also got a slightly lighter pair hopeful for warmer spring temperatures to come.
I have worn many different brands of merino and/or silk longjohns but these Merino Tech are by far the best!

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.
