Merino Wool Outer Layers FAQs
Q: Is it safe to tumble dry merino wool jackets or vests?

A: It’s best to air dry merino wool outer layers by laying them flat. Tumble drying is not recommended as high heat may shrink or damage the natural fibres. If necessary, use a low heat setting and remove the garment promptly.
Q: How do I prevent lint buildup on merino wool outer layers?

A: Merino wool resists lint better than many synthetic fabrics, but
it may still collect surface fibres. To help prevent this, wash your garment
inside out and avoid laundering it with lint-heavy items like towels. After
drying, gently remove any visible lint with a wool-safe lint roller or fabric
comb. Avoid brushing the surface too aggressively, as this can damage the knit.
Q: How should I layer merino wool outer layers for extreme cold?

A: Start with a merino wool base layer to help manage moisture and
regulate body temperature. Add a mid layer, such as a fleece or insulated
sweater, for extra warmth. Finish with a merino wool outer layer or a
weatherproof shell to protect against wind, snow, and rain. This system
provides warmth, breathability, and adaptability in extreme conditions.
