FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Lifa® and Merino Wool blend?
The blend combines Lifa®'s superior moisture-wicking properties with Merino Wool's excellent natural insulation and odor resistance, providing exceptional comfort and warmth in cold conditions.
How do I properly wash this base layer?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C) on a very gentle cycle. Do not use bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Always dry flat.
Is this base layer suitable for high-intensity activities?
Yes, it is designed for high activity. The Lifa® technology actively transports sweat away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable during strenuous efforts.
Can I wear this base layer in milder weather?
While optimal for cold weather, its breathability allows it to be worn in milder conditions as a standalone top or a light layer, though its primary benefit is thermal regulation in the cold.
What does 'gsm' mean in the fabric description?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, indicating the weight of the fabric. A 215 gsm fabric is moderately heavy, offering good warmth for its weight.
Are there any specific materials to avoid when washing this garment?
Yes, avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat (like ironing or tumble drying), as these can damage the Lifa® fibers and Merino Wool.
What is the advantage of having no shoulder or side seams?
The absence of shoulder and side seams, combined with flatlock stitching, significantly reduces the risk of chafing and irritation, enhancing comfort during long periods of wear or strenuous activity.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels clammy or wet.
Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin and that any outer layers are breathable enough to allow moisture vapor to escape. Check that the garment has not been treated with fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking.
Reduced warmth after washing.
Verify that the care instructions were followed precisely. Improper washing (e.g., using hot water, bleach, or fabric softener) can damage the wool fibers and Lifa® technology, reducing insulation and wicking capabilities. Always dry flat and avoid heat sources.
Irritation from seams.
While designed with flatlock seams and minimal construction, ensure the garment is the correct size. If irritation persists, consider wearing a very thin liner sock or thin synthetic layer underneath if absolutely necessary, though this may reduce the effectiveness of the base layer's wicking.
