Why Merino Wool?
Merino wool is a wonderful material for hikers, runners, cyclists, skiers, sailors, and anyone who partakes in an active lifestyle. Lightweight merino wool shirts can even be an amazing choice in your gym bag! Merino wool base layer is comfortable, manages odor, and is a sustainable fiber. With all of that said, it can be hard to find a great base wool layer; there are some great merino wool products on the market, and there are some really bad options!
