Standing out from the Flock
Merino wool has some pretty amazing properties that make it different from types of wool…
So what makes Merino wool different?
There’s nothing quite like Merino, the way it feels, looks and works in a garment. To be Merino wool, it has to come from a special breed of sheep, the Merino sheep! It’s different because the fibres are incredibly fine compared to other types of wool which can be more coarse.
The diameter of each fibre is what determines which category a wool type falls into. This is measured in microns. One micron is equal to one millionth of a metre. Wool with the finest micron comes from Merino sheep and is used for high quality, soft fabrics and knitting yarns. Using Merino wool is what makes our clothing and accessories so soft and not itchy like some wool products.
Why is Merino wool special?
Wool itself has many amazing properties and it only gets better with Merino. Naturally breathable, thermoregulating in cool or warm conditions, it also lasts much longer without washing. All the best qualities of wool, without the itchy feeling.
Is Merino wool better than other fabrics?
We might be a little biassed, but we definitely think Merino outperforms a lot of other fabrics. Especially when it comes to what you’ll be using the clothing for. Activities such as hiking, skiing, climbing and trail running are all perfect examples of where Merino can really improve your experience. Keeping you cool when you’re hot, warm when you’re cold, allowing your skin to breathe naturally during high output activities. Merino also wicks away sweat and can be air dried to keep it smelling fresh even after multiple uses while exercising.
So if you’re asking yourself, is Merino wool worth the money? We think as a renewable natural fibre, with pretty baa-arilliant properties, Merino is a worthy investment, but don’t just take our word for it, have a look at what our flock thinks.
Let customers speak for us
The fit is spot on. I love the cut I love the splash of color on the zipper. The finger holes are just right and i can’t wait for cooler weather to use it more. Only mornings and nights for know as daytime we hit 30+/80+ temps.
I will definitely buy again in the future. Quality product and great service.
This Merino Tee is so comfy and soft feeling every time I put it on. The natural wicking properties really keep me feeling dry and at a constant temp all day, and they really do last without smelling, and I often manage more than one or two days wearing before it requires a wash?!) I thoroughly recommend these as every day tops as well as great walking layers! The durability is similar to many other synthetic tops I have used, but overall are much more useable and practical making them excellent value long term. I love these lots, and know you will too!! Look after it and it will more than look after you.
My Husband loves the socks for hiking in and now my son has started wearing them to
Work! So easy to wear and very comfortable.. my t-shirt is very comfortable and fits very well!
Love my new joggers, thicker than the leggings, will be warmer under winter walking trousers.
Amazing softnes, colour and shape😎
Don’t even have to wash it 🧚♀️
I wear this as an effective inner or mid layer in cooler weather or on its own when its warmer - indoors or out. It's soft and comfortable to wear next to my skin. It's a snug fit for me as I'd aimed for when ordering it - my usual size is between (UK) 8 and 10. It's stylish - I love the stripes - and good for a post walk social event without needing to change. I've washed it several times now and it's kept it's shape and hasn't shrunk.
I have been wearing this top non-stop during this hot spell - it’s comfortable, breathable and doesn’t get sweaty! True to size and a beautiful colour, too
This top is a dream - a lovely colour and fit and perfect for staying cool in the heat!
I tried the merino zip neck on when it arrived and didn’t take it off until the end of the day. It was so comforting ,warm and light,it felt like a second skin.The zip neck was perfect as I could use it regulate the warmth of my body.I’m very pleased with this purchase
I walk 40+ miles weekly, hence have an interest in socks. I’m pleased with these, they are medium weight, comfortable and, so far, durable.
i bought four of the Merino 150 T-Shirts in the sale. They are really good quality, well made and although they are the lightweight Merino 150, they are lasting well. Comfortable to wear and cool in this warmer weather. I would definitely buy again.
Light weight, comfortable, and truely do stay clean and fresh
Great quality and fit. Chose medium and it’s a tight (not skin tight) fit for a 39” chest. Wearing as a casual top. Love the colours.
Very impressed with quality, fit and comfort.
