Merino wool provides a layer of insulation and features thermo-regulating properties that adapt to your body and external conditions, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
Merino wool’s naturally complex structure resists bacteria and controls odors by absorbing odor molecules into its fibers and only releasing them when washed, helping you stay fresh for longer.
Merino wool effectively absorbs moisture from the skin's surface, locking it within its fibers and gradually releasing it through evaporation. It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water while still feeling dry to the touch, ensuring you stay comfortable and dry.
The finer the fiber, the softer the fabric. Merino wool fibers, with diameters less than 24 microns, these delicate fibers bend easily with the lightest touch. This creating a fabric that is soft, smooth, and comfortable against your skin—without any irritation or scratching.
Merino wool resists odors and has natural elasticity, reducing the occurrence of unpleasant smells, wrinkles, and deformation after each wear, so you won’t need to wash it often. When you do, just use cool water and lay it flat to dry. This minimizes the need for frequent cleaning and ironing, making it ideal for one-bag travel.
All of our wool is sourced from Merino sheep on farms in Australia that prioritize animal welfare and humane treatment, and is Woolmark certified. The wool is biodegradable, recyclable, and produced with minimal environmental impact, making it an exceptionally sustainable choice.
Got a size large men's merino wool vest, barely fits (usually wear men's size medium, this was supposed to be a large so I could layer underneath, not going to work for original trip purpose)...but quality looks good
First I really like merino wool for its list of advantages like insulating, thermo-regulating, odor control and easy cleanup. This vest is styled with good looks and a good fit. I appreciate the expandable side panels and the collar that is smooth and just the right height to keep my neck warm and block wind. A nice modern style and attention to detail make this a very desirable product. If you are looking for a stylish comfortable and functional vest then you just found it.
The vest looks and feels better than pictured. Materials and workmanship feel high quality and warm enough for cooler weather. The fit is on point for the most part, but I wish the neck wasn't quite as tight. I always wear M and I like how snug the vest feels, but fully zipped up the neck is almost chocking. The outside pockets could also be a bit more ergonomic to put hands in when used as an outside layer, but at this point I'm nitpicking. All in all, a really nice vest, can't wait to see how it holds up over time.
I just received this vest, in preparation for a mountain trip where I'm expecting wind and cooler temperatures. The fit is perfect (I'm 6'2", 190 lbs). The feature set seems more useful than the typical fleece garment, especially with the outer shell to cut the wind. The side panels seem to expand for thicker garments. So far so good.
This vest is the perfect combination of fit and comfort. The side pockets are roomy. The simple insertion of stretch fabric into the lower side seam makes all the difference in comfort. The fit is a bit snug but that's OK for a vest like this. I normally wear a size L but Amazon suggested a M for this item. I took their suggestion and if feels great.
