FAQs

Can I wash this in a regular laundry cycle?

No, it is recommended to use a delicate wool cycle at 30 degrees to preserve the integrity of the merino fibers.

Is the wool itchy?

No, merino wool is known for its fine fibers which are much softer than traditional wool, making it comfortable for direct skin contact.

How should this fit?

As a baselayer, it is designed for a regular fit that sits close to the skin to efficiently wick moisture, but it should not feel restrictive.

Can I wear this in the summer?

Merino wool is thermoregulating, meaning it can keep you cool in warmer temperatures, though it is primarily designed for winter warmth.

Does it require special detergent?

Using a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates is recommended to maintain the natural properties of the fiber.

Is the zipper durable?

The half-zip is designed for active wear, but ensure it is zipped up before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the machine.

Troubleshooting

The top feels slightly damp after very heavy exertion

While merino is highly breathable, if you are sweating heavily, ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable outer shell that traps moisture inside.

Garment has lost its shape

Avoid hanging the top to dry, as the weight of water can stretch the wool. Always dry flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent natural warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Naturally odor-resistant for multi-day trips
  • Versatile half-zip for temperature regulation
  • Soft, non-itchy merino wool material

Cons

  • Requires gentle machine washing at low temperatures
  • Merino wool can be prone to snags if caught on sharp objects
  • Limited to specific wool-cycle washing instructions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your merino wool baselayer, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's care guidelines. Use a machine wash setting specifically for wool at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the natural fibers. For drying, avoid tumble drying whenever possible; instead, lay the garment flat on a clean surface to air dry, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the wool to lose its shape or become brittle. When pairing this piece with other clothing, use it as your base layer directly against the skin to maximize the moisture-wicking benefits.
