Merino Sheep are one of the worlds most ancient breeds of domestic sheep that are predominately bred in Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike regular sheep in the lowlands, the Merino is built to survive scorching summers up to 30 degrees Celsius and freezing winters down to -10 degrees Celsius in New Zealand’s rugged Southern Alps range.

Merino fabric is similar to synthetic fibers as it can keep in heat very well, but the difference is how incredibly lightweight and breathable it is. It is similar to cotton in its’ ability to absorb moisture, but it dries much faster. Another difference between mainstream fabrics and Merino is that Merino can be worn for days, and even weeks without washing and remain odorless. The fabric produces natural oils and waxes which is not a good host for bacteria, reducing the overall stink. Because of those oils, it makes Merino wool very soft. The fibers are also renewable as the sheep continue to grow wool and in time the wool will biodegrade when disposed of, making this an ultra sustainable clothing material. We believe Merino Wool is the best fiber available for athletic apparel worn in extreme and varied temperatures.
