FAQs

Can I put this in the dryer?

No, it is highly recommended to lay the garment flat to dry to avoid significant shrinkage and fiber damage.

Is this base layer suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the combination of the Lifa inner lining and fine Merino wool is designed to be soft and non-irritating.

How often should I wash it?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you can often wear it multiple times between washes. Airing it out after use is often sufficient.

Is this warm enough for extreme sub-zero temperatures?

It provides excellent base-layer warmth, but for extreme cold, it should be paired with a mid-layer and an insulated outer shell.

Does the size run true to fit?

The garment is designed for an active, close-to-body fit. If you prefer a looser feel for casual wear, consider sizing up.

What is the primary benefit of the 2-layer construction?

It allows the garment to keep you dry through moisture-wicking technology while simultaneously trapping body heat through the wool layer.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels scratchy after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-safe detergent. Standard detergents can strip the fibers, making them stiff; using a fabric softener specifically for wool can help restore softness.

Fabric appears to have small pilling

Pilling is natural with high-quality Merino wool. Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove pills after washing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management prevents dampness during activity
  • Provides significant warmth without excessive bulk
  • Soft texture ensures all-day comfort against the skin
  • High-performance blend resists odors naturally

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made from a technical Merino wool blend, proper care is essential to its longevity.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Always machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Use a wool-specific detergent to preserve the natural lanolin and fiber integrity.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the garment flat to dry in a shaded area to prevent shrinking or distortion of the knit structure.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use moth-deterrent bags if storing for extended periods during summer months.

Compatibility:

This crew base layer fits optimally under standard technical mid-layers, fleeces, or waterproof outer shells. Due to its slim-profile design, it sits flush against the skin, which is necessary for effective moisture transfer.
