Why Merino Wool is Naturally Odour-Resistant

If you're someone who loves the outdoors, travels often, or just wants to feel fresh throughout the day, you might be surprised to learn about the natural odour-fighting powers of Merino wool.

Here's how it works

Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can trap moisture and leave you feeling less than fresh, Merino wool has a unique fiber structure that wicks away moisture. This keeps sweat from building up on your skin, which is often the main culprit behind unpleasant odours.

But that's not all — Merino wool fibers are naturally antibacterial. This means they prevent odour-causing bacteria from multiplying, leaving you feeling clean and fresh for longer.

Perfect for multi-day wear

Suppose that you're on a multi-day hike, and your backpack space is limited. With Merino wool, you don't have to pack extra layers just to avoid smelling bad. Its odour-resistant properties make it perfect for wearing several days in a row without any unpleasant smells.

We're so confident in the power of our Merino wool that we run a 30-day challenge! Wear one of our Merino tops for 30 days straight, document your experience, and we'll reward you with another one — completely free.
