Why Merino
Wool Apparel?
We believe that adventures come in layers.
That you can enjoy everything from summiting new mountains to sipping a beverage at the base.
All it takes is the right gear.
Merino wool is pretty magical. This sustainable, natural performance fiber helps fuel adventures in more ways than we could have imagined when we started making socks over 20 years ago.
After figuring out that it was so beneficial in socks, we started making Merino wool apparel designed to enable everything from backcountry skiing to multi-week treks to high-intensity training. We think that Merino wool clothing is key to staying comfortable in the outdoors.
Layers Matter
We design from the inside out.
That means we put Merino where it matters—next to skin. We also focus on using low-profile, non-chafing, strategically placed seams to maximize comfort. And we dial in our fits for end-use performance and comfort. This helps us create performance Merino wool apparel that is just as comfortable as it is efficient. And it helps you stay focused for every lap, summit, and powder turn.
Performance Evolved
Intraknit™ apparel is the absolute pinnacle of comfort and performance. We’ve taken 25 years of knitting expertise and combined it with brand new technologies and processes to create 3D-knit garments. These products use integrated gender-specific ventilation and insulation zones to keep body temperature stable while allowing full range of movement with durable fibers and articulated flex zones. The 3D-knitting process helps sculpt them to the human body, allows them to maximize warmth without adding bulk, and enhances breathability without sacrificing comfort.

Merino 250
Start with a great base.
This is our core base layer fabric. The Merino 250 is the #1 base layer on the market, thanks to its warmth, softness, and fit. This collection of base layers and Merino wool apparel is ideal for cold-weather activities where warmth and breathability are crucial. Its 100% Merino wool construction moves moisture away from the skin while it’s still in a vapor state, helping to keep you warm, dry, and stink-free all day long.
