FAQs
Are these long johns suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, 100% organic Merino wool is known for its excellent warmth and insulation properties, making these long johns ideal for cold weather, including ski trips and winter outdoor activities.
Can girls wear these long johns?
While the design includes extra room at the front intended for boys, many parents find them suitable for girls as well. Comfort can vary based on individual preference and body type.
How do I wash my Merino wool long johns?
Machine wash on a delicate or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry and do not tumble dry.
Will the wool be itchy?
High-quality Merino wool, like that used by DILLING, is made from very fine fibers that are soft and breathable, significantly reducing the likelihood of itchiness compared to traditional wool.
What does the jacquard knitting technique do?
The jacquard technique creates a dense, compact, and warm fabric. It allows for intricate patterns to be knitted directly into the material, enhancing both its thermal properties and aesthetic appeal.
Are these long johns breathable?
Yes, Merino wool is a highly breathable fiber. It allows moisture vapor to escape, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent the feeling of being clammy.
What is the difference between these and synthetic base layers?
Merino wool offers superior natural temperature regulation, odor resistance, and softness compared to most synthetics. It also remains warm even when damp, unlike many synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Merino wool has some natural stretch, but proper sizing is key for comfort and performance. Refer to the size chart.
Fabric feels damp after activity.
Merino wool wicks moisture away from the skin, but in very high-intensity activities, it can become saturated. Ensure adequate ventilation and consider a lighter base layer if needed.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always wash on a cold setting (max 30°C) and on a delicate cycle. Avoid tumble drying and high heat. Lay flat to dry.
Loss of elasticity in waistband or cuffs.
Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can degrade elastic fibers over time. Gentle care is recommended.
