Troubleshooting
Base layer feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can restrict moisture movement. Verify that no other layers are preventing moisture from escaping the base layer. Wash according to care instructions to ensure wicking properties are maintained.
Garment shrinks or loses shape after washing
Follow care instructions precisely. Avoid hot water, high spin cycles, bleaching, tumble drying, and ironing, as these can damage the fibers and affect the garment's fit and performance.
Mild odor persists after washing
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, but persistent odors can occur. Ensure the garment is washed thoroughly on a gentle cycle. Airing the garment out in fresh air can also help remove lingering smells.
