FAQs
Can I wear this as my only layer?
Yes, the addition of Cordura makes this shirt durable enough to be worn as an outer layer in warm weather.
What is ZQ-certified wool?
It is a certification ensuring the wool is sourced from farmers who meet strict standards for animal welfare and environmental land management.
Does it shrink in the wash?
While the Cordura blend adds stability, you should always wash in cold water and avoid high-heat dryers to prevent shrinking.
Is this suitable for winter?
It is designed primarily for warm-weather activity; it may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold without additional layers.
What is the benefit of raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves eliminate the seam on top of the shoulder, which prevents chafing when wearing a backpack.
Does the blue color fade?
Like all dyed performance fabrics, keep it out of direct, intense sunlight when drying to maintain color vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have loose fibers after heavy use
This is common with wool blends; gently remove surface pilling with a fabric shaver designed for wool.
Garment feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a detergent specifically for Merino wool to keep fibers soft and supple.
Persistent odor
Ensure the shirt is completely dry before storage; wash with an enzyme-based wool detergent to break down trapped oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Durawool T-shirt, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent designed for wool.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying; lay the garment flat to dry in the shade to prevent fiber degradation.
- Storage: Fold the shirt rather than hanging it for long periods to prevent shoulder stretching.
- Compatibility: Works effectively with all standard performance outerwear and hydration packs due to its flatlock seam construction.
