Merino 2 is our most versatile merino baselayer fabric. It's naturally breathable, regulates body temperature, and has a great warmth-to-weight ratio to keep you dry and comfortable during active pursuits in cool to cold conditions.
As handy as a good alibi when you're roused for bivying at the base of El Cap, our most versatile merino baselayer will keep you dry and comfortable during active pursuits in cool to cold conditions. Naturally breathable and soft on your skin, merino regulates body temperature, has a great warmth-to-weight ratio, resists odor, and stretches as you move. Our wool comes from nonmulesed Australian merino sheep. We slow-wash it for softness and shrink-resistance without the use of environmentally harmful chlorine, and blend it with 20% polyester (100% recycled) for increased durability, resilience and moisture-management. The raglan-sleeve design allows full shoulder mobility, wide cuff bands keep sleeves in place when pushed up, and offset side seams feel smooth beneath pack straps. Machine-wash cold; machine dry at low temperatures. bluesign-approved fabric.
