FAQs
What is the primary function of the Lifa fibers?
Lifa fibers are engineered to transport moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry during strenuous activity.
How does the merino wool contribute to warmth?
Merino wool is a natural insulator that effectively traps body heat, providing warmth even in very cold conditions.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
This garment is designed as a base layer for optimal moisture management and insulation. For very cold or windy conditions, it is recommended to wear insulating and protective outer layers over it.
What is the main benefit of the dual-layer construction?
The dual-layer construction combines the moisture-wicking properties of Lifa fibers with the warmth and comfort of merino wool, offering comprehensive thermal regulation.
How do I ensure the garment lasts as long as possible?
Follow the specific wash care instructions: machine wash gently in lukewarm water (40°C), do not bleach, do not tumble dry, dry flat, and do not iron or dry clean.
Is this garment suitable for sensitive skin?
The merino wool is soft, and the garment features flatlock seams and minimal external seams to reduce potential irritation, making it generally comfortable for most skin types.
What activities is this base layer best suited for?
It is ideal for high-exertion activities in cold weather, such as skiing, hiking, mountaineering, and outdoor work.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can restrict moisture transport. Check that other layers worn over it are also breathable.
Skin irritation or chafing
Verify that the garment is the correct size and not bunched up. The flatlock seams should minimize irritation, but ensure they are positioned comfortably.
Loss of warmth over time
Follow the wash care instructions precisely. Harsh detergents or incorrect washing can degrade the merino wool's natural insulating properties.
Fabric pilling
Some minor pilling can occur with merino wool over time, especially with friction. This is normal and does not affect performance. Gentle washing and avoiding rough surfaces can minimize this.
