No one should feel uncomfortable or ill-prepared in the outdoor community, and having reliable gear is one of the first steps toward a lifetime of passion for whatever your activity is.

Merino Wool has so many wonderful properties, which provide you with beneficial comfort, safety, and eco-friendly options. We're convinced that once you give Merino Wool a try, you won't want to go back to cotton or synthetic base layers.
Properties include moisture-wicking breathability, fire resistance, being super soft and cozy, and insulating and high performing even when wet, Merino Wool is the superior option when it comes to base layers.

Being prepared and helping individuals learn what they need for wool products and gear to be the most prepared is just one pillar of our core values. Knowing the properties of your gear is especially important if you are in a survival situation and can help prevent hypothermia in extreme conditions.
