Outdoor Tips

Whether you're hiking or camping, hunting or fishing, or just being active in the Summer months, Merino Wool will help keep you protected and temperature regulated no matter what activities you're doing.

The leaves are beginning to change colors here at the Minus33 headquarters in Ashland, New Hampshire, nature’s indicator that Summer has passed and Fall is underway.  The change in leaves isn’t the only thing that Fall brings; crisp weather and sunlight shortages are becoming the norm across the country.  In preparation for these changes, Minus33 has compiled a list of Merino wool gear to adequately help you make your own transition from Summer to Winter. 

When it comes to outdoor activities and adventures, staying protected from the sun's harmful rays is crucial. Wearing the proper clothing can play an important role in shielding our skin from harmful UV radiation. Did you know Merino wool has a natural UPF rating?

Minus33 has compiled a list of gear to make sure you're properly prepared as your adventures transition from Winter to Spring and Summer!

Living in New England, it’s essential to be prepared for any situation and all types of weather, especially in the winter. Since weather patterns can change so rapidly, you can find yourself in spring conditions one day and a full winter storm the next. For these reasons we polled our staff for the top list of items they were taught to keep in their car in case of an emergency, particularly in a snowstorm.

Minus33 created the ideal layering system to keep you hunting longer!

With Winter weather and temperatures settling in for the season, the need for warmer clothes and gear rises. From thicker socks, gloves, hats, and warmer base layers, staying warm, dry, and prepared for freezing temperatures can make all the difference. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, winter hiking, or even just snow-blowing the driveway, Merino Wool will keep you protected and warm regardless of the activity.*
