Merino

Merino wool Merino wool is nature's own innovation, which works in freezing cold as well as scorching heat. Merino wool is shorn from merino sheep. Over time, they have developed an exceptional fleece that allows the sheep to survive the variable weather conditions of the Southern Alps in New Zealand. Merino wool is nature's own high-tech fiber that doesn't smell or itch. Soft Merino wool fibers are long and resilient. Merino wool is significantly thinner than traditional sheep's wool. Merino wool fibers are long, resilient, and significantly thinner than those of traditional sheep's wool. Because of this exceptional fiber structure, very thin and light, fluffy knits can be produced from merino yarn. For this reason, the use and popularity of merino as a raw material has grown year by year. The traditional sweater has been updated and is today increasingly made from merino wool. A warm Merino wool garment is suitable for both cold and hot conditions. The more air a garment traps, the warmer it is. Merino wool is the world's most effective fiber at trapping warming air. This is also the basis for layering with merino wool base and mid-layers. The more layers, the more warming air is trapped between the fibers. Even a thin merino layer warms more effectively than the thickest synthetic base layer. Breathable The ingenious merino wool fiber also reacts to body temperature. When the skin gets hot, the moisture trapped in the garment is released to cool the microclimate between the body and the knit. This way, both the merino sheep and the wearer of the merino wool garment feel comfortable even in the heat. Moisture-wicking Merino wool always feels dry. This is due to merino wool's ability to wick moisture away from the skin, after which the vapor evaporates into the air. Merino wool fiber can absorb 30% of its own weight in moisture, and the knit still feels dry to the touch. Antibacterial Antibacterial properties are yet another superior display of why merino wool is such an amazing material. This property refers to the way merino wool cleans itself. Merino fiber reacts with oxygen to evaporate odor molecules. The garment lasts longer with less washing. Merino clothing is maintained by airing it out. This is convenient especially when hiking and traveling. An antibacterial merino wool garment is also an ecological choice. Fewer wash cycles put less strain on nature. By reducing the number of washes, you reduce your carbon footprint.

Merino products are suitable for base layers, socks, shirts, and other cycling apparel where comfort and temperature regulation are valued. The material works well for long rides and active use when the goal is the greatest possible comfort without unnecessary overheating. Merino is a functional choice for the cyclist who wants the properties of a natural fiber as part of their gear.
