100% superfine Australian merino
Superfine, traceable and mulesing-free. Here's where it comes from, and why we use it.
Why merino
Nature's performance fabric, and comfortable AF.
Merino holds odour inside the fibre and lets it go in the wash, so you can wear it again tomorrow. And the day after.
Wool traps warm air when it’s cold and lets heat and moisture out when you’re working hard up the hill.
Merino pulls sweat away from your skin as vapour, so you stay drier under a pack.
Superfine fibres are so fine they bend instead of prickling your skin. No itch.
Natural and renewable, and it breaks down at the end of its life. Synthetics don’t.
Why it isn’t itchy
Superfine, measured in microns
Wool feels itchy when its fibres are thick and stiff enough to prickle your skin. Superfine merino fibres are so fine they bend away instead, which is why most people find ours isn’t itchy at all.
Superfine merino is 18.5 microns or finer. Lower is softer.
Our fabrics
What's in each fabric
All our merino is superfine, so most people find it isn't itchy at all. Where we blend, it's for a reason.
Tees and long sleeves
100% superfine Australian merino
165gsm superfine. Light enough for summer hikes, warm enough for cool mornings.
Thermals, neck gaiter and hand warmers
95% merino, 5% elastane
210gsm midweight, 18.4 micron. The touch of stretch helps them move with you and keep their shape.
Leggings

330gsm, 18.4 micron superfine. The nylon adds strength where leggings get the hardest wear.
