FAQs

Are these long johns suitable for sports?

Yes, the breathable and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool make them excellent for sports and outdoor activities, especially those with varying intensities.

Can I wear these directly against my skin?

Absolutely. They are designed with ultra-fine merino wool specifically for softness and comfort when worn next to the skin.

How often should I wash these long johns?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear them multiple times between washes by airing them out. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions.

What makes merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than regular wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. They also have superior temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking capabilities.

Do these long johns have a fly?

The product description does not specify a fly. Please refer to product images or check specific product listings if this is a critical feature.

What is the primary benefit of wearing merino wool long johns?

The primary benefit is superior natural temperature regulation and comfort due to the wool's ability to insulate, breathe, and wick moisture, keeping you comfortable in various conditions.

Can I use a regular laundry detergent?

It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can damage the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels tight after washing

Ensure you are using the correct wool wash cycle (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat during drying; lay flat to air dry.

Wool feels itchy

This is uncommon with DILLING's ultra-fine merino. Ensure the garment is properly washed according to instructions. Itching can sometimes occur if the garment is new and hasn't been washed, or if worn with rough outer layers.

Loss of shape

Avoid tumble drying and excessive wringing. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  • Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, preferably in the shade.
