Merino wool is an incrediblefibre. The properties are almost too crazy to believe; anti-microbial, water-repellant, insulating-yet-breathable, the list goes on.
The long-term wear issue of merino has been overcome by weaving in a similarly impressive man-made yarn called 37.5 polyesterwhich helps to keep your body temp at 37.5C whilstmaintainingthe microclimate next to your skin ata humidity of 37.5%. This technology is permanently embedded into the fabric and it'lllast the lifetime of the garment since it's not a chemical finish.
Unlike other wool garments this can be machine washed.A godsend given how much you'll likely be wearing it.
