ELASTIC

Natural elasticity helps Merino wool garments stretch with you, yet return to their original shape. So Merino wool clothing is ideal to wear when exercising.

BREATHABLE

Merino fibres can absorb large quantities of moisture vapour then move it away to evaporate into the air. So Merino wool clothing is extremely breathable and less prone to clamminess.

WARM AND COOL

In contrast to synthetics, Merino is an active fibre that reacts to changes in body temperature. So it helps you stay warm when the weather is cold, and cool when the weather is hot.

STATIC RESISTANT

Because Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics.

EASY TO CARE FOR

Gone are the days when woollen garments had to be hand-washed and dried flat.

ODOUR RESISTANT

In contrast to synthetics, Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour which means less sweat on your body. The product can go days without washing making the range perfect for camping trips and weekends away

Merino fibres have a natural protective outer layer that prevents stains from being absorbed. And because Merino wool tends not to generate static, it attracts less dust and lint.
