Merino wool benefits

You’ve heard of merino wool. Maybe you own a merino jumper, or some socks, and you love how beautifully soft it feels against your skin. But have you thought about where merino wool comes from, and what exactly makes it so special?

Our responsibly-sourced merino wool comes from the fine fleece of high-welfare merino sheep that live in the wild landscape of New Zealand. Its natural thermo-regulation properties help keep you warm when it’s cold, and fresh and dry in hot temperatures. And there are many more merino wool benefits that make it the ideal fabric for high-performance activewear, whether you love skiing at high altitude or hitting the trail at dawn.

Merino wool is a completely natural fibre with many benefits, from a luxurious texture to adaptability to different climates and temperatures. Its incredibly fine fibres give merino wool a unique softness that makes it feel amazing next to your skin. Its unique fibre structure also makes it naturally breathable and gives it excellent temperature regulation abilities.

Softness and comfort

One of the best-known benefits of merino wool is its natural softness and comfort. Just putting on merino wool clothing feels luxurious – indulgent, even. It’s all down to merino wool’s fine fibres, which make it glide over the skin.

When we think merino, we often think warmth. As in, what you wear on cold days and trips to the mountains in winter. But in truth, when we think merino, we should also think of the summer kind of warmth as well.

That’s because merino clothing is also the ideal material for summer hiking.

People who complain that lambswool or mohair causes itching don’t tend to have the same problem with merino wool. Why is merino wool so good for the skin?

In fact, merino wool is so soft and comfortable, you might find it hard to believe it’s actually wool you’re wearing next to your skin.
