Why Cyclists Should Switch to Merino Wool

When selecting performance cycling apparel, Merino wool may not be the first fabric that comes to mind. However, among seasoned cyclists, endurance riders, and especially bikepackers, it has become an essential component of a well-curated kit.

Renowned for its temperature regulation, moisture management, and odour resistance, Merino wool offers a sophisticated alternative to synthetic and cotton-based fabrics. Whether navigating technical terrain, enduring long-distance rides, or commuting daily, cyclists will find Merino wool to be an indispensable asset.
